- Add Definition 3.1 "Heawood number of a vertex" (+1 if CW colour order
is (1,2,3), -1 if (1,3,2)) and cite Heawood 1898 in the bibliography.
- Add Lemma 5.2 "Heawood number is constant on the Kempe cycles through
the merged edge", positioned immediately after Conjecture 5.1. Its
proof exhibits a (F, e_1, e_2) witness for clauses (1)-(3) of the
conjecture from any pair (v_0, v_1) of consecutive K-vertices with
differing Heawood signs, by cases on whether phi(e) = a or b. The
proof does not invoke Conjecture 5.3 or Theorem 4.X.
- Add a two-panel figure illustrating Case A (b-edges on F_R when
phi(e) = a) and Case B (a-edges on F_L when phi(e) = b), with the
cyclic colour orders (a, b, c) at v_0 and (a, c, b) at v_1 visible
from the angular layout.

- Main paper: dual_decomposition_minimal_counterexamples/ ->
face_monochromatic_pairs/. Title is now
"Face-Monochromatic Pairs and the Four Colour Theorem".
- Companion paper: dual_decomposition_iterated_reduction/ ->
iterated_reduction_in_reduced_dual/. Title is now
"An Iterated Reduction in the Reduced Dual". Its prose and bibliography
cite the parent under the new title.
- Update one absolute sys.path reference inside
check_conj_face_kempe_n15.py that pointed at the old folder.
