Divergence Registry v0.2-rc1

Release candidate for a versioned protocol and deterministic checker suite that records methodological decisions and makes research divergence attributable.

Included checks:

• v0.2 contract with 27 required decision identifiers
• research_gate.py demo with all 28 seeded faults caught
• independent manifest suite with all 11 invalid fixtures rejected
• agp_deterministic.py demo with all 8 seeded faults caught

Limit: no subject has completed v0.2 end to end. These tools check process integrity and source grounding within their stated rules. They do not establish that a research question or conclusion is substantively correct.
