The occurrence of stall warning indicates that AoA was increasing through the threshold. The BEA text says it was six degree at threshold, and "continued to increase". What caused that increase, if not a nose-up input? BEA again: "About 15 seconds later, (...) the PF continued to make nose-up inputs".

Incidentally, you must have unbelievably sharp eyes if you can discern s/w in "3D view".

At M.68/215kCAS, FL375, AoA=4 degrees, the load factor is 0.8. It must be greater than one to increase vertical speed.
