Éléments de géométrie algébrique (EGA): Canonical French and Standalone English Editions

2026-08-08 EGA II printed-p.23 / standalone-English R189 checkpoint. This same-concept successor maintains exactly two independent cumulative editions. The canonical diplomatic French reader and master now extend through EGA II printed p.23: they complete Proposition 2.1.9, admit 2.1.10 and 2.1.11, and open 2.2.1 through the terminal printed words “n'est autre que”. The independent standalone English EGA 0–IV reader remains complete as a reader and has been source-rechecked through every admitted French page. The standalone English p.23 source required no change. R189 records the identity/no-op inverse and complete 127-file replay; radical notation, the emphasized existential article, and “free system” are retained with explicit source-grounded reasons. French and English have separate masters, sources, manifests, QA, and reversible ledgers; there is no bilingual, paired, parallel, side-by-side, interleaved, or combined reader. The French reader is 158 pages and its terminal page passed visual QA. 03_INDEX.md is non-reader semantic metadata. Canonical French EGA 0–IV remains incomplete; after this public closure, the next direct-NUMDAM cursor is EGA II printed p.24, continuation of 2.2.1. Earlier versions and the 80 inherited files remain immutable historical evidence. Start with 00_FR.pdf or 00_EN.pdf.
