Merge spec/ into specs/: one specs directory for the whole repo

Browse source 
Moves TargetRevenueLicenseConcept.md from the separate singular spec/
directory into specs/ (git mv, preserving history) and updates every live
cross-reference (README, CONTRIBUTING, all specs/*.md, workplans, schema
comments, source docstrings, test file) to the new path.

This resolves the spec/ vs specs/ split that history/260728-SWOT-Assessment.md
flagged as a "perpetual footgun" and recommended deciding on. The historical
record of that split and the recommendation itself are left unedited in
history/ (a dated assessment, not a living document) — only README and TSD
now document the merge as resolved, with a pointer back to that history file
for context.

**[CONFIRMED BY RESEARCH]** Restricting commercial use for a protected period, while permitting broader noncommercial use, is a well-established license category (Fair Source's "minimal restrictions to protect the producer's business model," `specs/research/TRSL-Terminology-Guardrails.md` §2) with direct precedent in BSL 1.1's production-use gate and FSL's narrower "do not undermine the producer" restriction (`specs/research/TRSL-PriorArt-Survey.md` §2).
**[LEGAL]** The commercial-use gate itself (requiring a Commercial Use Agreement per `spec/TargetRevenueLicenseConcept.md` §21.2) needs drafted text; the **definition** of "commercial use" that triggers it is the single highest Transparenzgebot-exposure term in the framework (`specs/research/TRSL-Jurisdiction-StandardTerms.md` §4 item 2) and is explicitly **[OPEN]** pending legal input.

**[WORKING DEFAULT, Q3]** `future_license` ∈ {MIT, Apache-2.0}, chosen per Phase at declaration time. See `specs/research/TRSL-FutureLicense-PatentPrecedent.md` §3 for a project-level recommendation (Apache-2.0 default where patentable technique is plausible; MIT where simplicity is prioritized and patent risk is judged negligible) — this is Phase-author guidance, not a framework-level forced default.
**[CONFIRMED BY RESEARCH]** The conversion mechanism should follow the established two-step structure confirmed across both BSL 1.1 and FSL (`specs/research/TRSL-PriorArt-Survey.md` §2, §4): the restricted rights **terminate**, and rights under the Future License are granted **in their place**, automatically, at the Conversion Event — not a discretionary re-licensing act. This matches `spec/TargetRevenueLicenseConcept.md` Rule 6 and Rule 9 exactly and requires no structural invention; only legal wording.

**[LEGAL]** Final clause text. Recommend phrasing anchored on: "The Conversion Event occurs automatically when [Outstanding Target, as defined in §1, equals zero]. Upon the Conversion Event, the rights granted under §3 of this License terminate, and the Future License identified in the applicable Phase Manifest is granted in their place, without further act by either party." Precise legal phrasing per counsel.

Per `spec/TargetRevenueLicenseConcept.md` §21.3 and `SCOPE.md` §3: this draft does not attempt Commercial Use Agreement terms, Operations/Service Agreement terms, or any monetization-extension-specific pricing language — those are governed separately (`specs/MonetizationExtensionSpecification.md`).

## 12. Legal review requirement
This document is a product/engineering research synthesis, not legal advice or final license text. Per `spec/TargetRevenueLicenseConcept.md` §21.5, final drafting requires specialist review covering (at minimum): automatic conditional license grants, standard-terms law (Transparenzgebot and equivalents — `specs/research/TRSL-Jurisdiction-StandardTerms.md`), copyright and patent rights, contributor rights (`specs/research/TRSL-ContributorRights-Research.md`), audit and evidence provisions, international enforceability, consumer/business distinctions (`specs/research/TRSL-Jurisdiction-StandardTerms.md` §2's EU consumer-law scoping), and insolvency/service-discontinuity scenarios.
