Doctrine v7 §11 used "83.3% (10/12)" as the canonical Putnam value in its staleness-propagation example. That figure counts structural scaffolding, not proved problems, and is itself misleading. Per the PhD Math audit, 0/12 Putnam 2025 problems are fully proved (A1/A3 are sorry-token-free but -> True shells; A5/B4/B6 carry root sorries). Two files previously encoded the wrong official answer (P_B6 r=1/2 vs 1/4; P_A3 Alice vs Bob). Adds an honesty-correction note; retains the example only to illustrate the rule, and forbids citing 10/12 as a progress metric. Official answers verified against https://kskedlaya.org/putnam-archive/2025s.pdf. Signed-off-by: Stephen P. Lutar Jr. <stephenlutar2@gmail.com>

Summary
Doctrine v7 (
doctrine/DOCTRINE_V7.md) lives in this.githubrepo (referenced by the lutar-lean README badge). Its §11 "Canonical-Number Propagation Deadline" example cited the Putnam value83.3% (10/12)as the canonical/correct figure.That figure counts files with structural scaffolding, not proved problems, and is itself misleading. Per the PhD Math audit:
→ Trueshells.Change
Adds an honesty-correction note to §11. The historical example (the 1/12 staleness bug) is retained to illustrate the propagation rule, but the
10/12value is explicitly forbidden as a progress metric.Source verification
Official answers verified against the 86th Putnam official solutions (https://kskedlaya.org/putnam-archive/2025s.pdf): "B6. The largest such constant is r = 1/4" and "A3. Bob has a winning strategy for all n ≥ 1".
Notes
canonical_numbers.jsonexists yet in this repo, so the doctrine doc is the authoritative location for this number.coordination/andcursor-directives/files also cite 10/12-style Putnam numbers; flagged for a later pass.Signed-off-by: Stephen P. Lutar Jr. stephenlutar2@gmail.com
