Bound diatom competition claims while preserving surface attachment and physiological decline #1694

CommunityMech:000446; PMID42668638. Preserve observed SEM attachment and negative coculture physiology relative to medium-matched HAC. Amino-acid competition is an inference, not measured amino-acid exchange/depletion; filament identity/source and attachment-mediated damage are untested. Distinguish matched late physiological controls from absence of day-8 axenic transcriptomics; FBA fluxes are predictions. Qualify existing nodes without inventing causal edges. Close only after protected-main merge.

Dedup: 969 all-state issue titles/bodies; original three matched issues #1134/#1136/#543 read, plus exact-ID/DOI/PMID search with no additional issue matches. Hidden/ignored-inclusive local searches included 22 original and six additional matching files, excluding .git/docs/site/references_cache. Issue comments not exhaustively searched.
