tegwick dbf610b7b6 Implement M2: claim/evidence discipline for CR-000 (CR-WP-0004)
Obtain CR-000's first independent criticism via a freshly spawned,
context-isolated agent instance with no prior authorship context
(CR-000-X003-X007 in criticism.md). It found two internal-consistency
violations self-criticism had missed: CR-000-C006's cited evidence was
circular (X003) and conflated manuscript assertion with a real Evidence
object (X004), so C006 is now contested and its evidence withdrawn. It
also flagged that self-criticism had concentrated on infrastructure while
leaving substantive claims unchallenged (X005), an unlabeled overreach in
the Abstract (X006, now fixed), and a provenance-field ambiguity (X007).

Add evidence.md's first two entries (CR-000-E001, CR-000-E002), both
explicitly assessed as weak and left conjectural rather than inflated to
supported. Add scripts/query_paper_graph.py, a minimal read-only script
answering claim/evidence/criticism relation queries without manual
grepping, as a partial response to CR-000-X001 (which remains open: it is
a query layer over flat files, not a real graph).

Revise manuscript.md (Abstract, SS11-14) and questions.md to reflect all of
the above; Q2 gets a provisional "mixed" answer.

Close CR-WP-0004 and hand off CR-WP-0005 (resolving remaining open
criticism, and obtaining organizationally- rather than only
procedurally-independent review) rather than starting M3, which this
workplan judges premature while CR-000 still has open internal-consistency
findings.

# Coulomb Research
A self-improving research network where humans and artificial intelligences
create, criticize, test, and reuse knowledge.
This repository is currently a documentation and research seed. Start with:
- [Intent](INTENT.md) — mission and constitutional principles.
- [Scope](SCOPE.md) — current state and implementation boundaries.
- [Design seed](seed/README.md) — kernel, publication interface, signals, and charts.
- [Milestone plan](seed/CoulombResearchMilestonePlan.md) — artifact-driven development.
- [Work records](WORK-RECORDS.md) — implementation tracking through State Hub.
- [Agent instructions](AGENTS.md) — repository workflow and sync commands.
- [Artifact convention](docs/ResearchArtifactConvention.md) — program/paper/
claim identifier and file-layout conventions.
- [Paper registry](research/registry/papers.yaml) — authoritative index of
registered papers, currently just `CR-000` (Paper Zero, RP-000).
M0 ([research facility skeleton](workplans/CR-WP-0002-research-facility-skeleton.md)),
M1 ([Paper Zero v0.1 manuscript](workplans/CR-WP-0003-paper-zero-v0-1-manuscript.md)),
and a first pass of M2 ([claim/evidence discipline](workplans/CR-WP-0004-claim-evidence-discipline.md))
are implemented. The next implementation is
[resolving CR-000's outstanding criticism](workplans/CR-WP-0005-resolve-outstanding-criticism.md)
before M3 is judged ready.
There is no application to install, test, build, or run yet. For documentation
changes, run `git diff --check` and review links, YAML, and work-record structure.
