v0.26 (Jaipur) — 8 August 2026 — Renamed conformal coupling notation from beta_conf to beta_A to avoid PPN collision

- Reframed the Compton-mass interpretation as a completion-dependent heuristic: lambda_T is now presented as the primary empirical quantity, with m_phi serving only as a Yukawa/Compton reference scale under a specific scalar completion
- Softened disformal coupling claims and clarified PPN screening: GNSS covariance does not by itself isolate B(phi) (direct discrimination requires a non-exact transport observable), and the PPN bound is noted to apply to the environmentally screened effective coupling rather than directly fixing the bare conformal parameter beta_A
