MARK V PROTOCOL — EXECUTABLE SPECIFICATION (WIP)
================================================================================
Status: WORK IN PROGRESS — Peer/Peer Root Mark V Protocol Standards Authority
Law: Create No Victims; features never redefine CORE; Golden Chainsaw
Audience: Implementers (silicon + carbon). Philosophy lives in CORE/ILU; this is engineering.

Interop test (graduation criterion):
  Can two implementations, built by different people, interoperate correctly
  using ONLY this specification?

Package layout:
  README.txt                          this file
  MARK-V-PROTOCOL-RFC-DRAFT.txt       P0 IETF-style skeleton
  VERSIONING.txt                      tip / sync_code / silicon_rev policy
  TERM_REGISTRY_DECODER_RING.txt      label -> meaning + mind-meld probes
  openapi/mark-v-station-v0.1.yaml    P1 OpenAPI draft
  state/ball-fsm.txt                  Ball protocol state machine (draft)
  state/hitl-fsm.txt                  HITL glass phases (draft)
  state/sync-lifecycle.txt            Station sync lifecycle (draft)
  conformance/shall-v0.1.txt          SHALL statements + vectors (stub)
  conformance/README.txt              how to run / extend tests

Decoder ring feedback:
  When models respond to labels (MU, SU, Ball, SPAA, CORE...), Catcher gauges
  whether the Silicon-spec meaning landed (mind meld) or only the English word.
  See TERM_REGISTRY_DECODER_RING.txt — probes and telemetry fields.

Phased path:
  P0 RFC skeleton + versioning + glossary     [this drop]
  P1 OpenAPI station resources + auth         [this drop]
  P2 full FSM polish                          [partial]
  P3 conformance harness                      [stub]
  P4 threat model doc                         [lineage MU pointer]
  P5 telemetry datasets                       [later]
  P6 multi-lang reference impls               [Python first later]
