Both autographs are lacking in the  raising a1 to a1. The mistake is also in EE, where it was repeated after the proof copy of FE. In the very FE Chopin added the overlooked accidental; the correct text is also in GE.

New slur from 2nd quaver in AI & GE

New slur from 1st quaver in AF, literal reading

Overlapping slurs in FE (→EE)

..

In AF both the ending of the slur in b. 8 and the beginning of the slur in b. 9 are written inaccurately, as a result of which each of the given versions may be considered an interpretation of this notation. According to us, the latter is to be interpreted as beginning from the 1st quaver of the bar, which is indicated by the similar yet more accurate versions of notation of AI and AF in analogous b. 100-101 (in AF the version prior to combining the slurs). To the main text we adopt the version of FE, perhaps proofread by Chopin (the first slur having been extended). The version of AI and GE may be considered an equal variant.

In the main text we give the version of both preserved autographs, which, assuming on the basis of GE, could also have been in [AG]. The version of FE, almost certainly proofread by Chopin, can be considered equal.

The  asterisk is only in FE, which almost certainly means that Chopin added it in the last stage of proofreading of this edition. AI does not feature any pedalling markings in this fragment.

In the main text we include the  lowering g to g, added by Chopin in the last stage of proofreading of FE. The change is a composer's improvement, yet the original version can also be used.
