tegwick 3aa8cb7eaf Reframe the interface around composed posts, not republished entries
The channel publishes a post written from a hall entry -- condensed,
personal, reach-optimized -- not the entry itself. That changes what
this interface is for and where its boundary sits.

Composition is deliberately outside the interface. Composing is a
probabilistic editorial task, and Blueprint 48.1 forbids an LLM in the
mandatory request path, so an interface that composed on demand would be
non-deterministic exactly where determinism is the whole claim. It is
also editorial: a post speaks about a named person's work in
HelixForge's voice, and a review step inside the request path is a
review step nobody performs.

The contract now takes a composed post with a required reviewer, a cited
source entry and a consent basis. A post carrying none of those is
refused. Absence of objection is not consent, and in an audit trail an
unfaithful post looks exactly like a faithful one -- the defence is that
a human read it, the source is named, and both are recorded.

The first experiment is rebuilt accordingly. The old competition asked
how to fit a whole entry into Telegram; that question no longer exists.
The new one asks whether the portrait earns the 3072 characters of
caption limit it costs, which is a delivery question this interface
actually owns. Competition over editorial voice belongs to the campaign
and runs on the per-variant engagement this interface reports.

Adds T05b (composition and review), T05c (consent basis for the 94
existing participants, blocking public publication) and T11 (extracting
the campaign into pr-hall-of-helix).

title: "Text alone reaches further than a post constrained by a caption"
observation:
summary: >
Telegram limits a photo caption to 1024 characters, a quarter of the 4096 available to a text message. Attaching a portrait therefore constrains the composition it accompanies, and a post written to 1024 characters is a different piece of writing from one written to 4096.

explanation:
claim: >
The scarce resource in a condensed post is room to say something specific. A generated portrait is decorative and interchangeable across entries; a concrete detail about what someone actually did is not. Trading three quarters of the available text for a picture spends the thing that makes a post worth reading on the thing that makes it look like everything else in the feed.
