Close GROUND-WP-0001; open GROUND-WP-0002, the rulings the engine is blocked on

T01: no generated placeholders remain. Named but not edited: SCOPE.md
does not say this repo is the authority clay-borg defers to for game
semantics, which is a real relationship with nine unanswered questions
behind it. Carried into WP-0002 T01 rather than written by hand, because
the sentence cannot be honest until the contract exists.

T02: there are no build/test/lint commands and that is the answer, not
an omission -- this is a content repo. Finding recorded: nothing
validates that the CSV sheets are internally consistent, because the
engine has never loaded them.

T03: GROUND-WP-0002. The most important next change is not content. The
engine has never loaded this repo's edition data -- it builds Problems
with value=priority and cycled suits, while Problems.csv has carried
point_value 2,2,2,3,3 and required_solution since 2026-07-31. GR-E01's
thresholds (2p 5, 3-4p 7, 5-6p 9) are ordinary against the 12 points the
dataset provides and unreachable against the stand-in's 6 -- which is
exactly what clay-borg reported as a rules gap needing a ruling here.

WP-0002 therefore leads with declaring the dataset authoritative, then
takes the rulings that survive it: SOLVE's legality against a face-down
problem, an unmatchable suit, and an already-claimed problem (GR-A13);
the six provisional defaults; and GR-E03/GR-E04 never having been played
to the end.

+**Done 2026-08-03.** There are none, and that is the honest answer rather
