tegwick dd7f7d2181 Set up practical implementation workplans (WP-0006/0007/0008)
With WP-0001/0002/0003 finished, PRD Phase 4b (hosted Trust Service) is
unblocked per SCOPE.md's own sequencing rule, and the midterm goal shifts
from framework design to practical application: governing and monetizing
repos across the coulomb Forgejo org's product lines (coulomb-loop,
net-kingdom, helix-forge, the railiance-* family).

- TREV-WP-0006: Trust Service reference implementation (PRD Phase 4b).
  Eight tasks from PRD to conformance-tested hosted service, explicit that
  it builds infrastructure only - no real payments or Phase tracking.
- TREV-WP-0007: Degeneration policy finalization (PRD Phase 5) and the
  full canonical monetization profile catalog (remainder of Phase 3) -
  pilot Phases can't responsibly launch on the placeholder pilot policy
  and one-line profile defaults alone.
- TREV-WP-0008: Governance formalization (PRD Phase 7) and pilot rollout
  preparation. Forces a real design decision the framework never had to
  answer while single-repo-hypothetical: who is "the Licensor" across four
  independent product lines. Produces draft, non-binding Phase Manifests
  as worked examples for one repo per product line, and a CLA draft.

All three explicitly preserve SCOPE.md's existing "no production Phases
until legal review" guardrail rather than overriding it under pressure to
monetize real repos: WP-0008-T05 is a dedicated, human-gated go-live
decision, and no other task in any of the three workplans is permitted to
authorize a real Phase, real Commercial Entitlement sale, or real
Development Credit tracking.

Updates SCOPE.md (new Stage 0/Stage 1 maturity table, revised out-of-scope
table distinguishing "infrastructure in scope" from "going live still
gated"), PRD roadmap (Phase 4b/5/7 now active, pointing at the new
workplans), and README's active-work table accordingly.

Degeneration policy research and canonical monetization profiles

Finalizes two PRD deliverables that pilot Phases (workplans/TREV-WP-0008-governance-and-pilot-rollout.md) cannot responsibly launch without: a degeneration policy beyond the placeholder trsl:policy:linear-longstop-v0, and a full worked canonical monetization profile catalog beyond the six one-line defaults already in specs/MonetizationExtensionSpecification.md §5.

Why this blocks pilot rollout: every Phase Manifest requires a degeneration_policy reference (specs/PhaseManifestSpecification.md, Required field) and, in practice, at least one Monetization Extension. Launching real pilot Phases on an admittedly-provisional pilot policy and one-line profile defaults is a real business decision, not a technical blocker — but it should be a chosen risk, not an accidental one because this workplan was skipped.

Degeneration policy research

id: TREV-WP-0007-T01
status: todo
priority: high

Produce specs/TargetDegenerationPolicyResearch.md: survey comparative models (BSL/FSL-style fixed longstop vs. progress-sensitive decay vs. hybrid — history/260729-TRSL-PriorArt-Survey.md already has partial groundwork), and resolve concept §13.2's open inputs (progress-sensitive pause on material Development Credit, contributor diversity factors) that trsl:policy:linear-longstop-v0 deliberately left unresolved per specs/OpenQuestions-WorkingDefaults.md Q7.

Degeneration formula decision (human gate)

id: TREV-WP-0007-T02
status: todo
priority: high
human_accept_required: true

Using T01, propose either: (a) confirming linear-longstop-v0 as the adopted v1 formula (not merely a Stage 0 pilot default), or (b) a refined/replacement formula. Either way this promotes a working default to permanent-enough-to-launch-pilots-on status, which per SCOPE.md §4 requires explicit human accept — agents may prepare the recommendation and leave this todo.

Canonical monetization profile catalog

id: TREV-WP-0007-T03
status: todo
priority: high

Produce specs/CanonicalMonetizationProfiles.md: full worked pricing narratives and examples for the six canonical-candidate profiles already named in specs/MonetizationExtensionSpecification.md §5 (development-license, cost-plus-operations, phase-sponsorship, service-with-development-allocation, product-ideation, general-consulting), plus fixture files for the two not yet fixture-backed (product-ideation, general-consulting), following the pattern already established in examples/phase-001/extensions/.

Canonicalization review process (light)

id: TREV-WP-0007-T04
status: todo
priority: medium

Per specs/MonetizationExtensionSpecification.md §4, promoting an extension from registered to canonical "is a documented human/ governance action, never automated" — but no document yet describes what that review actually checks. Produce a short (not a full governance framework — that's workplans/TREV-WP-0008-governance-and-pilot-rollout.md T01) checklist for canonicalizing the six profiles in this workplan, sufficient to promote them from registered to canonical status.
