C5b deleted AP-131's row outright and recorded the retirement only in the
AP section header, describing that as house style. It is not: the register
carries 32 struck-through `~~ID~~` retired rows, including AP-1 and AP-145
retired one commit earlier in C5a, and the C5b contract explicitly mandated
"rewrites the row's text to past tense with the evidence ... which the
C5a/AP-1 and 4b-3/AP-137 rewrites established as the house style".
A deleted row loses the evidence a header clause cannot carry, and leaves a
reader who greps AP-131 with nothing rather than a retired row. Restored in
the AP-1 shape, with one fact the header omitted and that is worth keeping:
this row's own predicted retirement mechanism did not occur. AP-131 forecast
"the legacy caller is deleted at the production cutover, retiring this row by
construction" — the caller was corrected instead, and the steady-state merge
remains a live production Position caller. That is the kind of prediction the
register exists to be honest about.
Active-row count is unchanged at 100; struck-through rows are retired, not
active.
