Addresses Amey Parle's critique (E-010..E-014) that the v1.2.0-draft Trust Score is count-weighted and Sybil-gameable. - §7.2.5 Probationary Tier: cap = 0.5 + 0.5 × min(1, interactions/100), min 30 days, no inheritance from issuer - §7.3.2 Aggregate: S = m × Σ(wi×di) × (1 - p), capped by §7.2.5 - §7.3.2 D5 reformulated: Issuer Independence + Diminishing Returns, deprecates linear cap that allowed cluster collusion - §7.3.7 Anomaly Penalties: 5 rule-based detectors (A1-A5), ML capped at +0.20, exposed via raw inputs endpoint - §7.3.8 Maturity Multiplier: m = min(1, age_days/180) - §7.3.9 Signal Decay: D1 step, D3/D4 exp HW 30d, D5 linear over VC validity Refs #2

Summary
Addresses Issue #2 (Trust Score Algorithm) and Amey Parle's technical critique from 2026-04-13 (E-010..E-014 in the Challenge Register).
The current v1.2.0-draft Trust Score is count-weighted and Sybil-gameable: a coordinated cluster of 5 controlled issuers can drive D5 to 1.0 in weeks. This PR makes the score evidence-weighted along four axes.
Changes
cap = 0.5 + 0.5 × min(1, interactions/100), min 30 days. No inheritance from issuer — explicitly retracts the "Partial Trust Inheritance" answer to E-002.S = m × Σ(wi × di) × (1 - p), capped by §7.2.5. Maturity, anomaly, and probationary effects compose.1 - exp(-k × independence), k=0.45). The previous linear cap is deprecated.m = min(1.0, age_days / 180).Sybil Gameability

@AmeyParle — your memo from 2026-04-13 is the foundation for this PR. Specific points where I'd value your judgment:
k=0.45— chosen so 5 fully-independent attestations yield ≈0.9. Reasonable?Test plan
