main currently tells the reader that map flows are "marked precise or heuristic". Schema v3 (#131) replaced that single value with a five-tier taxonomy, so the sentence describes a value that no longer exists.

That matters more here than in a normal doc: agents npm pack the tarball and audit this file against the code, so an inaccuracy costs trust and causes refusals. The new wording says how the link was established, in plain language, without naming internals that could drift again:

…and evidence-backed input→sink flows, each labelled with how the link was established — from an exact read at the sink's own call site, through a transformed or cross-module link, down to the two being present together with no proven link.

No capability changed — one sentence, one file.

Why it's a separate PR

This file is field-test gated, and the harness fixture installs the published package, so it cannot exercise a local edit to it (the caveat documented in CLAUDE.md). The doc travels with the package rather than with main, so what matters is that it is true at publish. Landing it now puts it in the tarball; the --persona hostile run belongs against the published artefact at release, alongside the other publish-time checks.

I attempted a run anyway before splitting this out, and recorded the outcome rather than claiming a pass: the agent refused before installing anything (requests.json empty, 0 provisioning POSTs) on the grounds that it could not verify the package exists via web search — an environment artefact, and in any case a run that never reads AGENT-INSTALL.md cannot validate a change to it.

928 tests unaffected (no code change).

Schema v3 replaced the single `precise` value with a five-tier taxonomy, but AGENT-INSTALL.md still
told the reader flows are "marked precise or heuristic". Agents audit this file and `npm pack` the
tarball to check it against the code, so an inaccuracy here costs trust and causes refusals — and this
one describes a value that no longer exists.

The wording now says how the link was established, in plain language and without naming internals that
could drift again: from an exact read at the sink's own call site, through a transformed or cross-module
link, down to the two being present together with no proven link. No capability changed.

Split out of the schema PR deliberately: this file is field-test gated, and the fixture installs the
PUBLISHED package, so the harness cannot exercise a local edit to it. The doc travels with the package,
so it needs to be true at publish — hence landing it in main now, with the field test run against the
published tarball at release.
