 **Meta-deliverable:** the modeling pattern that surfaced across Q1/Q2/Q3 (find shared parent → distinguish coproducts from coordinates → classify primitive vs lens-extensible) was promoted to [`INVARIANTS.md`](../INVARIANTS.md) §P1 as the "Substrate-fact introduction procedure" — a 3-step decision procedure workers can self-serve when introducing new substrate facts.
