The synthetic anchor for an article's LEAD (its opening summary / verdict).
The lead is not a ## heading section, but it is where an entity's headline
claim lives — so it is a first-class PATCH target: a correction that
contradicts the verdict (a newer value reversing the lead's stated value)
must rewrite the LEAD toward the latest, not leave it standing while only a
body section is updated. SECTION-ROUTE offers the lead as a routable
candidate; synthesize's patch path swaps exactly the lead bytes.
