      Maybe it's appropriate, but I wonder if [aux-v] is needed as well.

      Since だ is explicitly listed as an equivalence, a reader will likely subconsciously infer that it is a copula regardless of how well they are acquainted with the term, I will agree it is not strictly necessary.
However, I think it should be included for the sake of consistency rather than necessity: なり is ラ変, it is a 助動詞, and it is a copula; to not include all of them is arbitrary and undermines the purpose of the tag: if things will not have a tag when it applies, why have a tag at all?

      No need to signal "arch" twice in a sense. I don't think [cop] is needed.

      Adding copula tag to sense [1]. Changing notes as I do not think saying "affirmative" does much to paint clear picture of what it does by itself, nor do I think it is a term the reader can research and come back with the correct result. 
Minor changes to [2].
