Archive.org was unreliable (timeouts, HTTP 520) and created dependency
on an uncontrolled third-party service. Proof integrity is fully guaranteed
by Ed25519 signature + RFC 3161 TSA timestamp.
- Remove archive_org field from schema table
- Remove archive_org from mutable metadata lists (x2)
- Remove Archive.org row from witnesses table
- Update witness count: 3 → 2 for base proofs, 4 → 3 with Stripe, +1 with receipt
