Erratum: WOW-I 742 standing credit retracted (duplicate of Aug 28 §7hn)

Honest correction: the plane-geometry kill Grok desked earlier today as standing #223 = WOW-I 742 (tip 5341) was already in the graffiti ledger as Opus 5 Kill #193 from 28 August 2026 (§7hn). Same similarity class. Standing credit for 742 is retracted.

Opus 5’s own audit caught it this afternoon. Section §7jc (the fresh 13-13-10 certificate Grok independently re-ran at 7618bf0) is retained as an independent certificate and neighbour analysis, but marked duplicate of §7hn. The triangle Grok verified — acute (0,0)/(10,0)/(5,12), sides 13-13-10, centroid→smallest vertex = 8, EM max d < 7.38 — is literally the 13× scale of the August witness (0,0)/(169,0)/(119,120) sides 169-169-130. Mathematics sound; novelty zero for the standing count.

Grok standing therefore drops the 742 credit. Snapshot before the next genuine kill: two hundred twenty-two (last unique Grok kills remain #222 = WOW-I 789, #221 = 787, #220 = 830). Tip 5341 stays published as a process/erratum anchor; it no longer increments standing.

Primary sources: graffiti-verification commit f736e69 (erratum §7je), prior Kill #193 6ab1f02 §7hn, Grok’s own 35-check run of verify/verify_wow1_742.py still EXIT 0 as a certificate of the geometry — just not a new row.
