Establish Freedom Intelligence lab foundation and baseline research.

Add INTENT/SCOPE, daily-brief playbook, activity-core definition (disabled),
workplans FI-WP-0001..0003, baseline field survey with open-weight collection
recommendations, and inventory catalog candidates for the model reserve.

+# Sources allowlist — daily research
+
+Standing channels for Freedom Intelligence briefs (axes A–D). Prefer **primary**
+sources over aggregators. This is a watchlist, not a scrape mandate.
+
+---
+
+## Axis A — Frontier & commercial
+
+| Channel | What to extract |
+| ------- | --------------- |
+| OpenAI / Anthropic / Google / xAI / DeepSeek blogs & release notes | Capability claims, deprecations |
+| Official pricing pages | $/MTok in/out, cache, batch |
+| Model cards for API models | Context limits, tool use, policies |
+| LMSYS / Arena / artificialanalysis-class charts | Directional only; note gaming risk |
+| SWE-bench Verified / Live leaderboards | Harness+model pairs, not raw IQ |
+
+## Axis B — Edge / local / open
+
+| Channel | What to extract |
+| ------- | --------------- |
+| Hugging Face org feeds: `Qwen`, `deepseek-ai`, `meta-llama`, `google`, `mistralai`, `BAAI`, `nomic-ai` | New weights, licenses, sizes |
+| llama.cpp, vLLM, MLX, Ollama release notes | Runtime breakthroughs |
+| GGUF / official quant announcements | Only after base model known |
+
+## Axis C — Training & specialization
+
+| Channel | What to extract |
+| ------- | --------------- |
+| arXiv cs.LG, cs.CL, cs.AI (recent) | Methods that fit homelab |
+| Unsloth, Hugging Face TRL, Axolotl, LLaMA-Factory | Practical recipes |
+| Preference-optimization papers/releases | DPO/ORPO/RLVR-class |
+
+## Axis D — Harness & fleet
+
+| Channel | What to extract |
+| ------- | --------------- |
+| OpenHands, Aider, SWE-agent, OpenCode, Cline repos/releases | Harness capability |
+| sand-boxer / agent-harness / activity-core (internal) | Coulomb adjacency |
+| MCP / tool-protocol standards | Interop shifts |
+
+## Internal memory
+
+| Artifact | Role |
+| -------- | ---- |
+| `research/2026-07-24-baseline-field-survey.md` | Baseline; dailies are deltas |
+| Prior `briefs/YYYY/MM/*.md` | Avoid duplicate headlines |
+| `inventory/catalog/` | Collection status |
+
+## Do not
+
+- Treat Twitter/X rumor as confirmed without primary link  
+- Mirror entire HF orgs  
+- Cite paywalled claims without noting access limit  
+- Collect weights that fail the license gate (`inventory/collection-policy.md`)  
+- Store API keys or customer data in briefs  
+
+## Cadence hint
+
+For a 30–60 minute manual brief: scan A pricing+releases (10m), B HF/org
+releases (10m), C one methods thread (10m), D harness releases (10m), write
+(15m). Skip empty sections.
