Add patch-audit reference; extend pitfalls to P30; unify script docs in English

- references/patch-audit.md (new): two independent questions for any self-made patch —
  did it land, and is it legal. Length-vs-bytes comparison and the ~800-false-positive
  signal that makes byte diffing useless; the equal-length-replacement blind spot that
  hides patches from length-only audits (and why tier-2 checking must be driven by the
  patch set's own declared targets, not by tier-1 output); verifier-level legality
  (move-result must immediately follow its producer) checked as a set-difference so it
  runs before the device; text-matching patch traps (whitespace, line endings,
  instruction names, anchor uniqueness, re-emitted old fragments, one block per doc);
  and auditing the patch set rather than a patch.
- pitfalls P28-P30: stale events-buffer records that read as this build's crash;
  a patch that lands and changes nothing because the edited data is not the data the UI
  consumes; two observations that cannot distinguish the hypotheses reported as a result.
- verification.md: point the known code-item blind spot at the new reference.
- Unify the four remaining script docstrings (and their inline comments) into English,
  and generalise a sample-specific class name out of one of them.

"""字节级定点 patch dex 里的字符串常量,完全不做 smali 往返。
"""Byte-level, in-place patch of a string constant inside a dex — no smali round-trip.
为什么不用 smali 往返:实测 classes7.dex 经 baksmali->smali 整树重建后,
`io.ktor.client.engine.HttpClientEngine` 的 synthetic access bridge 被破坏,
运行时报 IncompatibleClassChangeError(Found interface, but class was expected)。
class_def 的 access_flags 看不出问题,所以只能改用"只改字节"的方式。
Why not a smali round-trip: a disassemble -> reassemble of a whole tree can damage
R8-optimized output in ways the class table does not show. Observed symptom: a synthetic
access bridge lost its interface/class relationship, producing
IncompatibleClassChangeError ("Found interface X, but class was expected") at runtime even
though class_defs and access_flags looked untouched. See references/pitfalls.md P3.
本脚本做法(对 dex 结构零改动):
1. 把目标字符串替换成**等长**的另一个字符串 —— 长度相同则 string_data_item
的 uleb128 长度前缀不变,dex 的偏移、索引、表全部不变;
2. 重算 dex header 的 signature(SHA-1, 从 offset 32 起) 与 checksum(adler32, 从 offset 12 起)。
What this script does instead (zero structural change to the dex):
1. Replaces the target string with another of **exactly equal byte length**. Equal length
keeps the string_data_item uleb128 length prefix unchanged, so offsets, indices and
every table stay exactly where they were.
2. Recomputes the dex header signature (SHA-1, from offset 32) and checksum (adler32,
from offset 12).
用法:python dex_strpatch.py <in.dex> <out.dex> <old_str> <new_str>
要求 len(new) == len(old),且 old 在 dex 中出现次数恰好为 1。
Use only when the replacement can be equal-length. Otherwise use a method-level dex API
rewrite (references/dex-patching.md, technique 1).
Usage: python dex_strpatch.py <in.dex> <out.dex> <old_str> <new_str>
Requires len(new) == len(old) in UTF-8 bytes, and exactly one occurrence of old in the dex.
