Close WP-0007: confirm linear-longstop-v0 as adopted v1 norm (T02)

Maintainer (Bernd) accepted 2026-07-29: trsl:policy:linear-longstop-v0
is confirmed as the degeneration formula for the first pilot cohort,
per T01's recommendation - already implemented/tested, pilot-ready
today. progress-paused-longstop-v1 remains the named next iteration,
not required before WP-0008's pilot Phases proceed. Updates
OpenQuestions-WorkingDefaults.md Q7 from "working default" to
"Adopted 2026-07-29." All 4 WP-0007 tasks now done; workplan finished.

+**Research complete, not adopted:** `specs/TargetDegenerationPolicyResearch.md` (T01) proposes a candidate `trsl:policy:progress-paused-longstop-v1` (a 90-day rolling "quiet period" pause on Remission Credit during active Development Credit periods) and explicitly recommends *not* adopting a diversity-of-payers factor (no gaming-resistant signal exists yet). v1 is the named next iteration, to be revisited once real pilot Development Credit data exists — not required before pilot Phases proceed under v0.
