Bootstrap spec system

Lifecycle approvedImplementation n-aVerification unknownQualification unknown

Foundational contract for this repository: authored truth lives only in markdown (+ YAML frontmatter); machine-consumable truth is compiler-emitted JSON only; every artifact is a deterministic function of (config, file contents); a typed authority graph governs who-owns-what. This repository was born governed: the corpus existed before the first line of product code, and no spec here may claim code that does not exist.
