Register the structure-graph round; record Phase 0, the CL widening, and two corrections
New doc legal-structure-graph-round-2026-07-31.md registers Eli's design before any of it is built: layers ordered by VERIFIABILITY (hard refs have a free oracle; model relational edges over a given skeleton are endpoint-verifiable; similarity edges have no oracle and rank last), ablation ladder in build order led by deterministic edge-following at retrieval time (no model, no tokens, no round trips), the maud-vs-contractnli/privacy_qa density gap (13.1 vs 0.6-0.8 per 10k chars) as the built-in negative control, and an explicit kill criterion on gold-graph alignment. Multi-doc comparator deferred: LegalBench-RAG is single-document by construction and has no bed for it. Restart plan gains a status section: Phase 0's four fixes, the perDocCap confound measured at ~16x the composer band, the product-lane decoupling, the CourtListener widening to 55,504 opinion rows, and two corrections of record - the "skeleton is blind to subsections" claim was an artifact of the probe that produced it (toBlock flattens every kind to "section"; nodes carry 2,347 subsections), and the real defect was page-number runs winning the spine competition and suppressing real headings.
