  "technical_statement": "The action is written directly in the dimensionless charge with coefficient 8 pi (P^2)^2; replacing 8 pi by c gives Lambda/M_P^2=(c/(8 pi)) q_WZ, and the observable convention q_WZ = G Lambda with G=(8 pi P^2)^{-1} fixes c=8 pi at the action level. The sign is the Legendre pairing with the positive cap charge. The coefficient is fixed within the proposed source-charge convention q_WZ = G Lambda; that convention is part of the gravity-side completion and is not derived by the compact anomaly calculation. It is not fitted after comparison with observation.",
  "public_statement": "The coefficient and sign of the global-source term are specified at the action level by the stated source-charge convention, rather than imposed after variation.",
  "qualifier": "The coefficient audit is derived; the convention is part of the proposed gravity-side action.",

  "limits_open_issues": "A microscopic parent must derive the action itself; the convention stands or falls with it.",

  "version_history": "v1.2; v1.3 (2026-08-01): restated for the paired-cap revision: the Z_g unit matching is absorbed into the action-level coefficient.; v1.4 (2026-08-03): normalisation framing clarified: fixed within the proposed convention, part of the completion, not derived by the compact calculation.; v1.6 (2026-08-08): 'fixed' -> 'specified': the convention is part of the proposed completion",
