V.T198 — Scalar Amplitude NLO: Inflationary Consistency

Scalar Amplitude NLO Inflationary Consistency: NLO factor (1−ι_τ³/3) is structural (τ³ volume averaging), not slow-roll running (ε = r/16 ~ 8.5×10⁻⁴, 156× gap). Coefficient (121/225) inherited from α_τ chain. Scope: conjectural → τ-effective (Wave 14A).
