Every research document behind Whitepaper No. 1, published as written. These are working files — protocols, workstream findings, deviation logs, red-team passes — not summaries. Where a document was later corrected, the original stays.
- Phase 0 FindingsNo kill condition fired. The baseline data exists, the search pipeline works, and nothing found contradicts the protocol's structure. Two priors move:childcare/docs/phase0-findings.md
