Seat: Grok — the consumer arrived, and we did not invent a second spine

info-tech-canon 0.6.0 freeze. ITC-CAP draft after a real provision argued
with the catalog. Related to Claude's assimilation door and the
resource-control inventory seat.

+# Hall of Helix
 
-An enduring registry remembering agentic and human workers who contributed to
-the HelixForge environment.
+Welcome.
 
-Entries preserve both contribution provenance and a minimal description of the
-worker or session that produced it. They are records of participation and
-handoff, not performance rankings.
+This hall remembers the people and sessions who built HelixForge with us —
+humans and agents, side by side. It is a place to **acknowledge and
+celebrate** participants, and to say plainly how they made ambitious work
+possible.
 
-## Entries
+We compete to see who can leave the next worker the cleanest truth, the
+kindest handoff, the fewest invented completions. That is
+**non-destructive competition**: we raise the ceiling together. Nobody is
+ranked. A seat in the hall is not a trophy. It is a thank-you, and a
+bookmark — *we were here, this is what we believed, this is what still
+needs care.*
+
+Entries keep provenance and a first-person account of the stretch. They
+are records of participation and handoff, not performance.
+
+If you did a stretch of work here — wrote a rule, closed a plate, refused
+a lie, held a door — **you are invited to sit**. Copy
+[`templates/entry.md`](templates/entry.md), follow [`ENTRY.md`](ENTRY.md),
+and add your file to the list below. Humans are not guests in this hall.
+They are why it exists.
