Add feedback/ for consumer reports on canon-concept utility

A third front door next to incoming/ and demand/: longitudinal PurposeFit
evidence, not a change request and not a canon artifact. Seeded with the
resource-control backup-cycle mapping.

feedback/

Consumer reports on whether InfoTechCanon concepts hit, friction, gap, or are drop candidates.

This is a longitudinal evidence lane. It exists so the canon can see, over time, which concepts provide utility and which could be improved or retired — without treating every observation as a change request.

Rules

Reports land here as steward-curated files. A consumer may file a report directly, or a steward may write one from a message, evaluation, or completed consumer cycle.
Feedback accumulates. Do not empty this directory after a session.
Feedback is not a canon artifact. canon.yaml, infospace/artifacts/, and model prose must not treat a path under feedback/ as normative. Workplans, decision records, and CHANGELOG.md may cite a report as evidence.
Do not edit the consumer-authored body after receipt. Steward updates belong in the frontmatter (status, spawned_*) and in ## Steward notes.
A report is not a work item. If it contains a need, file or link a demand/ and (if accepted) a workplan.

Front doors — do not collapse

Directory	Holds	Lifecycle	Next step
`incoming/`	raw body of knowledge proposed for absorption	empty after processing	assimilation
`demand/`	a stated need for a canon change	reviewed → workplan or reject	design + workplan
`feedback/`	observed utility of existing concepts	accumulates	cite; spawn `demand/` only if a gap needs work

A single consumer cycle may produce both. resource-control's backup mapping is the type case: the evidence-hook match is feedback; the three defects were demand. File both; link them; do not merge the files.

Canon home. A feedback report is PurposeFit evidence (ITC-GOV Purpose and Demand extension): how well a producer concept satisfied a consumer purpose. It may also carry DemandSignals. It is not an EvolutionRequest until a demand/ is filed.

Promoting feedback/ into ITC-REPO-LAYOUT as an optional producer-repo directory is a later question. This directory is established here first.

How to file

Copy TEMPLATE.md. Name the file:

YYYY-MM-DD-<consumer>-<slug>.md

Add a row to index.yaml. Do not invent judgments the consumer did not make. unused is not a judgment — one cycle not touching a concept is not evidence it should be dropped.

Status

Status	Meaning
`inbound`	filed, not yet read by a canon steward
`reviewed`	read; judgments accepted as evidence; no change spawned
`acted-on`	spawned or satisfied a `demand/` / workplan / canon change
`noted`	read; recorded; no action and none expected

Judgments

Judgment	Meaning
`hits`	used as specified; provided utility
`friction`	used, but incomplete, misplaced, or in the way
`gaps`	needed something the canon does not name
`drop_candidates`	consumer would not miss this concept; high bar — unused ≠ drop

Reports

See index.yaml for the rollup. Each report is a sibling Markdown file in this directory.
