When did the ACES docs first state that the lower-hull gamma is a constant 1.14, and has the docs repository changed that statement since aces-core commit cd5017c (2024-08-30)?

The ACES 2.0 docs page says the lower gamut hull uses a constant gamma of 1.14. That sentence was added on 2025-03-05 and is unchanged at docs main 7c34c21 (page last touched 2025-09-11). The aces-core reference CTL has used 1.14 + 0.07*log_peak since commit cd5017c (2024-08-30), so the docs sentence postdates and contradicts the code. Implementers should follow the code, and cite both when explaining the ACES 2.0 gamut mapper. Curator qualifications: Docs and code read 2026-10-22; no transform run; log_peak definition (another library file) not read. Limitations: Docs and code read 2026-10-22; no transform run; log_peak definition (another library file) not read. Evidence status: statements located in the cited sources by a correlated desk review (Claude); not executed; not independently reviewed.
