Classifying hall-of-helix had no honest answer. A curated, permanent corpus of
authored records fits none of the six categories, and the fallback — project —
is the only non-durable one, implying eventual retirement of a record meant to
be permanent. With no classification file at all, resolve_flavor currently falls
through to flavor=tooling, so the repo is misclassified silently.
publication joins DURABLE_FLAVORS: repos whose purpose is to publish and keep a
body of authored content, where the corpus itself is the deliverable.
Population is one today — a scan of all 131 registered repos found no other true
publication — which argues for adding it once and carefully rather than
misfiling a permanent record as transient work.
Version 1.1, not 2.0: the addition is purely additive, no existing
classification becomes invalid, and neither validator enforces a version match,
so the 125 repo files declaring 1.0 keep validating. T01 clarifies §17, which
currently reads any allowed-value change as major.
