+ * Spec/implementation parity audit: proves docs/ssss-spec.md agrees with the
+ * reference implementation on the things a second implementer copies.
+ *
+ * Motivation: through 0.9.3 every example document in the spec failed the
+ * reference validator. The spec made `title`, `description`, and `timestamp`
+ * universally required, and none of its examples carried all three. The
+ * registry-parity audit could not see this, because it compares the registry
+ * with the engine, never the spec with either.
+ *
+ * Checks, all deterministic:
+ *   1. Every ```markdown example that opens with frontmatter validates.
+ *   2. Every core document primitive has at least one valid example.
+ *   3. §5.1 lists every core document primitive with its registry portability.
+ *   4. The §6.5 error table matches src/http.mjs ERROR_STATUS exactly.
+ *   5. The spec header version equals registry/core.json spec_version.
