The title page hardcoded Ratified <date> for every build, so the draft-2026-08-21 pre-release opens with "Ratified 2026-08-21" — contradicting the unratified notice in all seven documents it contains, its own page footers, and its release notes.

Only a date tag may assert ratification. Every other build is now dated Draft of <date>. Not ratified.

The draft-2026-08-21 tag and pre-release will be replaced once this merges. Draft tags are deliberately mutable; only date tags are immutable.

The title page hardcoded "Ratified <date>" for every build, so the draft
pre-release published minutes ago opened with "Ratified 2026-08-21" while the
notice at the head of all seven documents it contains says the opposite, its
page footers say "draft", and its release notes say in bold that nothing has
been ratified. The one line a reader sees first was the one line that lied.

Only a date tag may say ratified. Everything else is now dated "Draft of
<date>. Not ratified." The wording is deliberately plain: an em-dash is
dropped somewhere between the shell and the LaTeX template, which is worth
knowing before someone reaches for one in metadata again.
