Companion note to public comparisons

Abstract: Companion note to the public data comparisons package. The locked geometric point gives an average equation of state ⟨w⟩ ≈ −1.118 over 0.1 < z < 2.3. The free CPL best-fit on the same DESI + CMB + Pantheon+ combination gives ⟨w⟩ ≈ −1.148. Difference = 0.03. Zero extra free parameters. Does not replace an independent re-run. Exploratory geometric trials (fine-structure constant and proton–electron mass ratio) are outside the locked doors and are not part of this deposit.
