The rst follows the 2018 form at equations 6-7, omits author/date/amendment context, uses 11 Sphinx labels instead of the PDF's numbered equations, and keeps the merge case-4 typo ('alpha_a=1 and alpha=1'), which implementers should read as alpha_b=1.

Curator qualifications: Typo presence in both PDFs (producer) not re-checked by curator in the PDF text; rst typo confirmed. Screen-equation cross-reference issue (E10) not reinspected. Staged after the freeze. Text comparison only (pdftotext and normalised diff); no rendering.

Limitations: Text comparison only (pdftotext and normalised diff); no rendering.

Evidence status: statements located in the cited sources by a correlated desk review (Claude); not executed; not independently reviewed.
