docs: reorganize docs landscape 
Implements the 4-phase documentation reorganization master plan.

- Consolidation: Merged brief/, handoff/, planning/, and decisions/ into briefs/, handoffs/, plans/, and adr/ respectively (101 ADRs relocated)
- Root Cleanup: Relocated HANDOFF-gpt55-*.md and key top-level docs (runtime_contracts.md, etc.) to canonical folders. Added superseded alerts.
- Indices & Navigation: Created docs/README.md navigation document, docs/sessions/README.md index, docs/adr/README.md index
- Note: Also includes prior commit adding ADR-0200+ corpus hygiene governance (ADR-0225, dependency map, backfilled cross-references)

Logos collapse-anchor reconciliation — diagnosis + fix brief

Date: 2026-06-14 Trigger: The CORE-Logos Studio (LG-4 Alignment tab + Safety) shows grc_logos_cognition_v1 and he_core_cognition_v1 as Warning with invalid alignment targets (7 and 7 respectively). This brief records what that means and the scoped pack-content fix.

Diagnosis — this is a real, latent pack-data gap, not a UI/reader bug

Every invalid target is a cross_lang.no_english_collapse edge. That relation is the "English collapses this distinction" negative-space marker: a Hebrew/Greek entry points at an en-collapse-* anchor representing a nuance English lacks. The edge is valid iff its en-collapse-* target resolves to a declared lexicon entry (LG-1 removed the old relation/prefix carve-out that blindly passed any en-collapse-* id, so undeclared anchors now surface honestly).

Current state on main:

Pack references (en-collapse-*) declared in en_collapse_anchors_v1?
en_collapse_anchors_v1 (the anchor pack) declares justice, love, peace —
grc_logos_cognition_v1 time, heart, soul, breath, holy none
he_core_cognition_v1 covenant_love, shalom, tzedek, heart, soul, breath, holy none

Two distinct defects:

  1. Naming divergence. The anchor pack declares English names (en-collapse-love/peace/justice), but the logos packs reference source- concept names (en-collapse-covenant_love/shalom/tzedek). So even the three declared anchors are never actually referenced — they are dead, and the concept-named references are all dangling.
  2. Missing anchors. time/heart/soul/breath/holy are declared nowhere.

The Studio is doing exactly what it was built to do: a cross-pack inconsistency that was invisible (and silently swallowed by the pre-LG-1 carve-out) is now a visible, addressable WARNING with each dangling edge enumerated.

Fix (reviewed pack-content change — NOT a workbench change)

Reconcile the collapse-anchor vocabulary so every referenced anchor resolves. Recommended direction: make en_collapse_anchors_v1 declare the anchors the logos packs actually reference (the references encode the curated theology; the anchor pack is the lagging inventory).

  • Audit the full referenced set across all logos packs (union of the table above): covenant_love, shalom, tzedek, time, heart, soul, breath, holy (and decide whether justice/love/peace stay as aliases or are renamed).
  • Add a LexicalEntry per anchor to en_collapse_anchors_v1/lexicon.jsonl (mirror the shape of the existing en-collapse-love row: language: en, semantic_domains: ["collapse_anchor.<name>"], provenance to the relevant ADR-0073 family), in deterministic id order.
  • Recompute and pin the manifest checksum to the bytes actually written (hashlib.sha256(lexicon_path.read_bytes())), per CLAUDE.md.
  • Add/extend a pack test asserting every cross_lang.no_english_collapse target across the logos packs resolves to a declared anchor (a non-vacuous guard: it must fail today and pass after the data lands).
  • Re-run the Studio: grc_logos_cognition_v1 / he_core_cognition_v1 Safety verdicts should drop their invalid-target lists (verdict can still be UNKNOWN, never CLEAR, while holonomy proof is absent — see W-Holonomy).

Decision needed (Shay)

Is the source-concept naming (shalom/tzedek/covenant_love) the canonical anchor vocabulary (then the declared love/peace/justice are renamed or aliased), or should the logos packs be edited to reference the English names? The reconciliation direction is a curation call, not a mechanical one — hence a reviewed pack PR, not an auto-fix.

Scope

Small, isolated, off-serving (no generate.derivation / reliability_gate import; logos packs are not in the serving-frozen SHA gate). One pack-content PR + one resolution test. Independent of W-Holonomy and W-Forge.
