Establish Soul Frame research repository and workplans

Scaffold the research layout from the research program, add INTENT/SCOPE,
research instruments, concept stubs, and SOUL-WP-0001–0008 phase workplans.
Register the repo with State Hub under domain agents for hub-synced execution.

+## Session Protocol
+
+Dev Hub (State Hub API): http://127.0.0.1:8000
+MCP server name in `~/.claude.json`: `dev-hub`
+
+**Step 1 — Orient**
+
+Read the offline-safe brief first — it works without a live hub connection:
+```bash
+cat .custodian-brief.md
+```
+Then call the MCP tool for richer cross-domain context when MCP tools are exposed:
+```
+get_domain_summary("agents")
+```
+If MCP tools are unavailable in the current agent session, use the REST API:
+```bash
+curl -s "http://127.0.0.1:8000/state/summary" | python3 -m json.tool
+```
+If the hub is offline: `cd ~/state-hub && make api`
+
+**Step 2 — Check inbox**
+With MCP tools:
+```
+get_messages(to_agent="soul-frame", unread_only=True)
+```
+Mark read with `mark_message_read(message_id)`. Reply or act on coordination
+requests before proceeding.
+
+Without MCP tools:
+```bash
+curl -s "http://127.0.0.1:8000/messages/?to_agent=soul-frame&unread_only=true" \
+  | python3 -m json.tool
+curl -s -X PATCH "http://127.0.0.1:8000/messages/<id>/read" \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{}'
+```
+
+**Step 3 — Scan workplans**
+```bash
+ls workplans/
+```
+For each file with `status: ready`, `active`, or `blocked`, note pending
+`wait`/`todo`/`progress` tasks.
+
+**Step 4 — Present brief**
+
+1. **Active workplans** for `agents` — title, task counts, blocking decisions
+2. **Pending tasks** from `workplans/` + any `[repo:soul-frame]` hub tasks
+3. **Goal guidance** — if `goal_guidance` in summary:
+   - `needs_workplan`: surface as top action — *"Repo goal '{title}' has no workplan yet"*
+   - `alignment_warnings`: flag if active work is not aligned with current goal
+4. **Suggested next action** — highest-priority open item
+5. **SBOM status** — flag if `last_sbom_at` is unset for this repo
+
+If no workplans: follow First Session Protocol (`first-session.md`).
+
+**During work:** `record_decision()` · `add_progress_event()` · `resolve_decision()`
+
+> State Hub is a *read model*. **Never register workplans or tasks by hand**
+> (`create_workplan`, `create_task`) — write the workplan file in `workplans/`
+> and run `fix-consistency`; C-06 registers the workplan and tasks and writes
+> IDs back into the file. Manual registration creates duplicates when
+> fix-consistency runs. Work structure belongs in repo files (ADR-001).
+>
+> Legacy: `create_workstream` and `/workstreams/` remain as metered aliases —
+> see `workplan-convention.md` (compatibility footnote).
+
+**Session close:**
+1. Update workplan/task statuses in repo files.
+2. If marking a workplan **finished**: hand off residuals as **live work
+   records** first (intake with `origin: residual` + `origin_ref: <WP-id>`, or
+   a child workplan / decision / engagement). Do not leave actionable leftovers
+   only as prose or in `SCOPE.md`. See work-record-types § Residuals.
+3. Log progress (below).
+4. `statehub fix-consistency` when workplan/queue files changed.
+
+With MCP tools:
+```
+add_progress_event(summary="...", topic_id="64418556-3206-457a-ba29-6884b5b12cf3", workplan_id="<uuid>")
+```
+Without MCP tools:
+```bash
+curl -s -X POST http://127.0.0.1:8000/progress/ \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"topic_id":"64418556-3206-457a-ba29-6884b5b12cf3","workplan_id":"<uuid>","event_type":"note","summary":"what changed","author":"codex"}'
+```
+If workplan files were modified, ensure the local copy is up to date first,
+then sync from the repo checkout:
+```bash
+git pull --ff-only
+statehub fix-consistency
+```
+For repos where implementation runs on a remote machine (e.g. CoulombCore),
+use the pull-before-fix mode from any shell with the State Hub CLI:
+```bash
+statehub fix-consistency --repo soul-frame --remote
+```
+**C-15** (DB task ahead of file) is normal in multi-machine workflows — writeback
+will sync the file to match DB.  **C-16** (repo behind remote) blocks all writes
+until you pull — intentional to prevent clobbering remote progress.
