docs: soften 'Formally verified' → 'Translation-validated' (FV-review honesty)#267
Merged
Conversation
…review honesty) An external formal-methods review flagged 'Formally verified WebAssembly optimizer' as overstated: loom does per-run Z3 translation validation + partial Rocq (Correctness/Roundtrip/TermBijection), not a once-and-for-all proof of the optimizer (unlike CompCert). Relabel the badge/tagline to Translation-Validated and describe honestly what is proved (per-run equivalence) vs not (the optimizer itself).

Post-external-FV-review honesty fix. loom does per-run Z3 translation validation + partial Rocq (Correctness/Roundtrip/TermBijection) — it validates each output, not a once-and-for-all proof of the optimizer (≠ CompCert). Relabels the badge/tagline/description accordingly; README §85 already described TV correctly. README-only.
