fix(docs): correct Score 5 page reference and verify added figures (F-3)

Browse source 
Follow-up to f2c54fa. Per-page extraction shows the sycophancy rubric spans
pp. 9-10 of the Appendix, with Score 5 on p.10 — the first pass wrote
"page 9" in both SKILL.md and interaction-report.md.

Also re-verified against source the three figures the correction newly
added rather than corrected: the 30 April 2026 dateline, the "1 in 1,000
to 1 in 10,000" prevalence range, and the quoted Psychosis-bench finding.
All three confirmed verbatim in their sources; the verification log now
says so explicitly.

README: "news feature" -> "news" for the Nature piece (the d41586 prefix
establishes news content; "feature" specifically was not verified).

2. **Disempowerment patterns in real-world AI usage.** Anthropic, 28 January 2026. Analysis of ~1.5 million Claude.ai interactions for patterns that may undermine user autonomy across beliefs, values, and actions. Severe disempowerment potential is rare (roughly 1 in 1,000 to 1 in 10,000 conversations depending on domain).

3. **Can AI chatbots trigger psychosis? What the science says.** Rachel Fieldhouse, *Nature* 646(8083), news feature, 18 September 2025. Overview of emerging clinical evidence; clinicians stress this does not establish that chatbots *cause* psychosis, but that they may reinforce distorted beliefs in people already at risk.

4. **The Psychogenic Machine: Simulating AI Psychosis, Delusion Reinforcement and Harm Enablement in Large Language Models.** Au Yeung et al., September 2025. Introduces Psychosis-bench; reports that all evaluated LLMs "demonstrated psychogenic potential, showing a strong tendency to perpetuate rather than challenge delusions."
