Advance WP-0007: degeneration research, profile catalog, canonicalization checklist

T01: specs/TargetDegenerationPolicyResearch.md. Survey finds no
precedent (BSL/FSL/Elastic) implements progress-sensitive degeneration
- TRSL's model is original design. Proposes a candidate v1 formula
(90-day rolling "quiet period" pause on Remission Credit accrual
during active Development Credit periods), resolves the
contributor-diversity input as explicitly not-adopted (no
gaming-resistant signal exists yet), and resolves the
longstop/progress-sensitivity relationship as a hard, unconditional
backstop. Does not recommend v0 vs v1 for T02 - that's the human gate.

T02: recommendation added (confirm v0 for the first pilot cohort, name
v1 as the next iteration) - left todo per the human-accept policy.

T03: specs/CanonicalMonetizationProfiles.md with worked narratives for
all six catalog profiles, plus two new fixtures (product-ideation,
general-consulting), both schema-validated and added to the
parametrized conformance test.

T04: specs/CanonicalizationReviewChecklist.md, an 8-item checklist
layered on the already-implemented promote_extension_canonical()
mechanism (WP-0006-T03) - defines what a reviewer must verify, not a
new promotion mechanism.

`trsl:policy:linear-longstop-v0` deliberately left unresolved per
`specs/OpenQuestions-WorkingDefaults.md` Q7.
**Result:** `specs/TargetDegenerationPolicyResearch.md` produced. Survey
finding: none of BSL/FSL/Elastic actually implement progress-sensitive
degeneration — TRSL's Development-Credit-linked model is original design
work, not an adaptation of precedent. Input 1 (progress-sensitive pause)
resolved with a concrete proposal: a rolling 90-day "quiet period" pause —
Remission Credit accrues only during periods with no recent
`development-credit` entry, and freezes (not reverses) during active
periods. Input 2 (contributor diversity) resolved as **not adopted for
v1** — no ledger-derivable diversity signal resists trivial gaming
(shell/related-party entitlement holders), and no pilot data yet exists to
validate a signal empirically; explicitly deferred, not silently dropped.
Also resolves concept §13.3's open relationship question: the Longstop
Date is an absolute backstop, never itself extended or paused by the
quiet-period mechanism — pausing only changes how much remits *before*
Longstop, never *whether* full remission happens *at* Longstop. Proposes
candidate `trsl:policy:progress-paused-longstop-v1` with worked numeric
example, and an explicit v0-vs-v1 comparison table (implementation cost:
v1 requires new hosted rolling-window computation, not yet built) for T02
to weigh — deliberately does not recommend one over the other, since that
promotion decision belongs to T02's human gate.

requires explicit human accept — agents may prepare the recommendation and

**Status: ready for review, not done.** Recommendation per T01 §7's
middle path: **confirm `linear-longstop-v0` as the adopted v1 norm for
the first pilot cohort**, and record `progress-paused-longstop-v1`
(T01 §6) as the named next iteration rather than adopting it now. Reasoning:
v0 is already implemented, tested (WP-0002/WP-0006), and pilot-ready today;
v1 requires new, untested hosted-service computation (a rolling
quiet-period window, not a formula tweak) that would sit on
`workplans/TREV-WP-0008-governance-and-pilot-rollout.md`'s critical path
for no proven benefit yet — the incentive-alignment improvement v1 offers
is real but currently unvalidated by any actual pilot data. Confirming v0
now does not foreclose v1: the policy id is versioned
(`trsl:policy:<slug>@<version>`), so a future Phase can adopt v1 once
implemented without touching any Phase already running under v0. Awaiting
maintainer decision.

**Result:** `specs/CanonicalMonetizationProfiles.md` produced with a
worked narrative per profile plus a cross-profile summary table (default
allocation, whether/when it's adjustable, whether a Phase must pre-exist
before allocation can be declared). New fixtures
`examples/phase-001/extensions/product-ideation.json` and
`.../general-consulting.json`, both schema-validated. Key distinction
worked out between the two new profiles: `product-ideation` may acquire a
nonzero allocation *later*, against a Phase that didn't yet exist at
payment time (declared only once adoption actually happens, never
inferred retroactively); `general-consulting` is 0% *by definition*, not
merely by default — choosing that profile is itself the declaration that
no allocation is intended. Added both to
`tests/test_extension_conformance.py`'s parametrized conformance test
(now 6 profiles, 11 tests total in that file, all passing).

allocation rule beyond the heuristic check; internal consistency between

a sanity check for regulated-financial-instrument resemblance; recorded
sign-off) layered on top of the already-implemented mechanism
(`registry.promote_extension_canonical`, WP-0006-T03) — this document does
not change that mechanism, it defines what a reviewer must verify before
calling it. Does not itself canonicalize any profile (a separate,
attributable governance action) but flags `development-license` and
`general-consulting` as the two structurally simplest candidates if a
first canonicalization pass is wanted before WP-0008-T01's fuller
governance cadence exists — offered as an observation, not a decision this
document makes on its own.
