BELIEVEYOUME — candidate ↔ drafts reconciliation (all 10)

Result: all 10 candidate chapters reconcile with the deep drafts. The candidates already absorbed the drafts, so there are no prose-vs-prose merge conflicts. The section-mode read independently confirms all 10 tonics and caught the Jackie tonic (B♭ → E♭) on its own, matching the draft. Two songs, My Mirror and So Far So, are where my per-section detector overstated a major-third clash, and the whole-song vocal tally overruled it: both are minor-voiced, the candidate was right on both. Every key stays verified: false pending one pointed ear-check per song.

The two corrections, My Mirror Hates Me and So Far So. My per-section detector flagged a major-third clash in both, which would have made each another voice-raises-the-bright-third song. The whole-song vocal tally overrules that on both. My Mirror: sung G (minor 3rd) 17.4% against G♯ 12.3%, about 1.41 to one, bass plays zero G♯, the purest natural minor on the record. So Far So: sung F (minor 3rd) beats F♯ about 2.7 to one, and the F♯ the old tab carried was a Drop-C guitar fingering that never sounded in the band or the voice. On both songs the voice carries the minor third, the inverse of the album's signature move, and the candidate had it right. I corrected the shipped manuscript blocks and caveated the showcase so neither oversells it. The lesson: the per-section clash flag is directional noise on minor-voiced songs, the authority is the whole-song tally.
