Decision Engine v1.0.0

This normal release covers the maintained bounded surface:

exact Contract C 1.0.0 admission and expected Contract B top-level binding
→ exact policy-owned target resolution
→ fixed dispatch over exactly these maintained policy identities:

• decision-engine.contract-c.supported-claim-verification@1.0.0
• decision-engine.contract-c.causal-basis-citation@1.0.0
  → binding-preserving internal Decision materialization
  → canonical Contract D 1.0.0 output

Maintained invocation boundaries:

• evaluateContractCDecision(options)
• scripts/decision-engine-evaluate.mjs as the exact-authority CLI with documented canonical stdout and fail-closed stderr/exit behavior

Explicitly outside this release:

• the career select/rank head as a general-purpose engine
• the Gate head as universal Decision semantics
• Contract C research non_deciding
• generic policy registries, plugins, DSLs, or caller-supplied evaluators
• operational Authorization, actor selection, approval/delegation, execution, mutation, rollback, or outcome verification

No Authorization or execution surface is included.
