Separate study-specific Staphylococcus-Candida observations and remove cross-study causal joins #1829

Finding

CommunityMech:000326 combines six studies of the same species pair, not a single resolved strain/condition experiment. Remove the two arrows that turn observations from one PMID into mechanisms of another. Preserve the six reported observations, but aggregate suppression or one-way fungal inhibition is not demonstrated reciprocal competition, and context-dependent biomass is not universal mutualism. Keep the copper study authors mutualism interpretation explicitly HYPOTHESIZED/PARTIAL, separate proteomic inference from aggregate biomass, and do not treat RNA-seq ontology enrichment as demonstrated colonization, altered genotype or infection severity. This is a metadata/evidence repair only: no new pathogen growth, biofilm, survival, resistance, virulence or colonization enhancement procedures, genetic designs, strain-selection advice or new mechanisms. The six primary abstracts were read; available PMCID leads do not imply full-body review.

Address in the dependent batch106 PR; close only after protected-main merge. Self-adversarial review is not independent approval. No paid provider submission or new topology is part of this repair.
