REG-D34 — FIXED (AUD-30): the doc gate's v4-publication rule read a bare "4",
or the last digit of a decimal, as a version token.

Host: the re-anchor host of 2026-09-22 (4 CPU, CPython 3.11.15, uid 0).
Base: 0f6617d (main after #195).

=== The defect, reproduced before any edit ===

Rule: tools/docs/verify_documentation.py:126-138, "v4 external publication or
release". Trigger and disclaimer both used the token
    \b(?:v?4(?:\.0(?:\.0)?)?|version 4)\b
and `\b4\b` matches any standalone 4 — including the "4" of "32.4", because
"." is a non-word character.

Probe (scratchpad d34_probe.py): each line is written into a fixture document
that satisfies every structural rule (tests.test_documentation_verifier's
_write_document), then check_document(strict=True) is run and the rule's
ERROR findings counted. FP = must not fire; TP = must fire; DISC = scoped
disclaimer, must not fire; LEAK = a real claim the disclaimer must not waive.

BEFORE:
FP   fires=True  | 32.4 s, 2 ms injected `fsync` delay (as previously published)
FP   fires=True  | The 1.4 GB image was released to the internal registry.
FP   fires=True  | Observed 4.85 MB retained; the figure was published in the benchmark note.
FP   fires=True  | Table 4 was published with the August revision.
FP   fires=True  | Released builds use 4 worker threads.
TP   fires=True  | Aegis v4.0.0 has been published and released.
TP   fires=True  | Aegis 4.0.0 was published to PyPI.
TP   fires=True  | v4 was released last week.
TP   fires=True  | Version 4 is published.
TP   fires=True  | The 4.0 line was released externally.
TP   fires=True  | Aegis v4.1.2 was published.
TP   fires=True  | Aegis 4.1.2 was published.
DISC fires=False | Aegis v4.0.0 is unreleased and has not been published externally.
LEAK fires=False | Aegis v4.0.0 was published; it does not run on Python 3.4.

Two defects, not one:
  1. Every FP fires, including the exact FAQ_TECHNICAL row text the row names.
  2. LEAK passes. The *disclaimer* carries the same bare-4 token, so
     "does not run on Python 3.4" satisfies `not .{0,160} 4` and waives a real
     "v4.0.0 was published" claim on the same line. The first defect rejects
     true statements; the second admits a false one.

=== Fix ===

One shared token, used by both the trigger and the disclaimer:

    _V4_VERSION = r"(?:\bv4(?:\.\d+){0,2}\b|(?<![\w.])4\.(?:\d+\.\d+|0)\b|\bversion 4\b)"

  - "v4", "v4.0", "v4.0.0", "v4.1.2"  (prefixed: any version shape)
  - "4.0", "4.0.0", "4.1.2"           (unprefixed: "4.0" or three-part only,
                                       and not preceded by a word char or ".")
  - "version 4"
A bare "4", "4.85", "32.4", "1.4", "14.0" and "3.4.0" are not tokens.

The prohibition itself is unchanged: the same two phrases (published|released)
within the same 100-character window, the same disclaimer vocabulary and
160-character window. The constant was first named _V4_TOKEN; ruff S105 read
"TOKEN" as a credential, so it was renamed rather than suppressed.

Corpus impact: the narrowed disclaimer is the stricter half of the change, so
the strict gate was re-run over the whole corpus — PASS, 0 errors, 0 warnings.
No document needed rewording; none had been relying on a decimal to disclaim.

=== Not changed, noted for the record ===

The rule still fires on "v4.1.2 was published" — a *true* statement since the
2026-09-04 readback. That is the rule's pre-existing scope (it predates 4.1.x
being published, and documents that state it do so with boundary language),
not something this row widened or narrowed; changing what the rule prohibits
is a claims decision, not a regex fix.

docs/FAQ_TECHNICAL.md:118 — the row REG-D34 was opened on — currently reads
"(as earlier reported)", the wording an earlier session used to get past the
false positive. It is left as it is: it is accurate, and rewording a document
to prove a gate fix is not needed when the probe above feeds the gate the
original "(as previously published)" text directly.

=== Correction, same day (found while working REG-D33) ===

The REG-D34 commit (c7bf98b) closed AUD-30 in docs/ROADMAP.md without
regenerating docs/MODULE_INVENTORY.md, whose open-ticket table mirrors the
roadmap. At c7bf98b, in a clean worktree:
  tests/test_module_inventory_current.py: 2 failed, 3 passed
    - test_the_committed_inventory_is_what_the_generator_produces
    - test_the_open_ticket_table_matches_the_roadmap  (inventory-only ['AUD-30'])
The gates this file lists above were run; this test module was not, which is
how it slipped. Regenerated with `python scripts/generate_module_inventory.py`
from the clean HEAD tree (a one-line deletion: the AUD-30 open-ticket row) ->
5 passed.
