tegwick 1fb7212e2d Implement WP-0015-T02: extract policy/profile spec files
specs/policies/linear-longstop-v0.md extracted from
OpenQuestions-WorkingDefaults.md Q7's prose, with policy_id/title
frontmatter -- Q7 now records only the adoption decision, pointing at
this file for the formula itself.

Six specs/profiles/*.md files extracted from
CanonicalMonetizationProfiles.md's per-profile sections (#1-6), each
with extension_id/title frontmatter matching the ids already used in
real Phase Manifests. CanonicalMonetizationProfiles.md keeps the
cross-profile summary and non-goals sections, now pointing at the
extracted files instead of containing their content.

DevelopmentEffortCalculatorConcept.md gets calculator_id/revision/title
frontmatter for consistency, no move (already conformed as one file per
model). Checked for stale cross-references before editing -- nothing
in the repo links to the removed section anchors.

# Cost-Plus Operations
**What the payer receives:** a hosted, operated instance of the software —
compute, storage, networking, monitoring, backup, incident response —
priced at cost plus a surcharge (default 50%).
**Worked narrative:** a customer doesn't want to self-host; they pay for a
managed instance. The bulk of this price recovers real operating cost, not
development investment — per concept §13.4 (already settled), operations
revenue must not be conflated with Development Credit or used to pause
degeneration. By default, **none** of this revenue counts toward the
Phase's Outstanding Target. A Phase may explicitly declare a nonzero
allocation specifically on the surcharge portion (the profit margin above
cost) if the Licensor and Customer agree the hosting relationship itself
also functions as a development investment — but this must be an explicit,
recorded declaration, never inferred from the existence of a hosting fee.
**Default `development_allocation`:** 0% (declarable nonzero on the
surcharge only, by explicit agreement).
**Fixture:** `examples/phase-001/extensions/cost-plus-operations.json`.
