chore: fill derivable placeholders, drop false ARCHITECTURE, surface the rest
Estate top-up pass. Three separate things, none of which invents a value. FILLED — every token with a single mechanical answer: OWNER, REPO, FORGE, PROJECT, PACKAGE_NAME, PROJECT_NAME, AUTHOR, AUTHOR_EMAIL, CONDUCT_EMAIL, AUTHOR_FIRST/LAST/INITIALS, CURRENT_YEAR, CURRENT_DATE, DATE, MAIN_BRANCH. Identity comes from the git remote, dates from the clock, project name from the README H1 where there is one. Deliberately NOT filled, because more than one defensible answer exists and a confident wrong value is worse than a visible gap: SECURITY_EMAIL (two competing addresses are in use across the estate), RESPONSE_TIME, CONDUCT_TEAM (which substitutes into "a {{CONDUCT_TEAM}} member", not English), WEBSITE, PROJECT_DESCRIPTION, LANG_STACK. DELETED — ARCHITECTURE.md, where it is byte-identical to the 346-copy estate boilerplate (blob 607e3d8). Those 33 lines describe a src/ tests/ docs/ scripts/ config/ tree that this repo does not have, so the file is not merely uninformative, it is wrong. Genuinely written ARCHITECTURE files are matched by hash and left alone. No file beats a confidently false one. CODEOWNERS — rewritten to the solo form mandated by hyperpolymath/standards CODEOWNERS-POLICY.adoc Rule 1, which forbids a catch-all line where the only owner is the sole maintainer. The estate's own templates/CODEOWNERS contradicts that policy; the policy is versioned, dated and resolves standards#55, so it wins. Files naming a genuine co-owner are Rule 2 and are untouched. Note @hyperpolymath and @metadatastician are the same person, so a file naming the other account is a copy artifact that silently routed review requests to the wrong account. SURFACED — REQUIRES_INITIALISATION.md, and a priority action in 0-AI-MANIFEST.a2ml. Tokens that need a decision no script can make are left visibly unfilled rather than faked or quietly deleted. The marker says what each one is, which files it belongs in, why it was not done already, and that it must be deleted only once the work is genuinely finished.

# REQUIRES INITIALISATION
4+
5+
**This repository is not finished being set up.** 10 substitution token(s) across 4 file(s) still have no value.
6+
7+
## Why this is not already done
8+
9+
This repo was created from `hyperpolymath/rsr-template-repo`. The mint
10+
(`just repo-init`) fills every token that has a single mechanical answer —
11+
owner, repo, author, dates, licence, branch — and it has done so here.
12+
13+
The tokens below are the ones it *deliberately cannot* answer. They need a
14+
decision or a fact that exists only in your head: what this project is for,
15+
what command builds it, which port the service listens on, whether a PGP key
16+
is held at all. The template's own token vocabulary says as much — you cannot
17+
sensibly answer "required invariants" in a thirty-second bootstrap.
18+
19+
They were left **visibly unfilled on purpose**. The alternatives were both
20+
worse: inventing plausible values would put confident falsehoods into a
21+
security policy and an architecture document, and silently deleting the
22+
sections would hide the fact that a decision is owed. A visible gap is
23+
honest; a fabricated answer is not.
24+
25+
## Do not delete this file until every item below is resolved
26+
27+
This file is the only marker that the work is outstanding. Deleting it early
28+
does not finish the setup, it just conceals it — and the next person or agent
29+
to arrive will reasonably assume the repo is complete.
30+
31+
- **If you are a person:** delete this file yourself once the last item is done.
32+
- **If you are an agent:** resolve what you legitimately can, leave the rest,
33+
and delete this file only when no token below remains anywhere in the tree.
34+
Do not delete it to make a gate go green.
35+
36+
Re-running the estate top-up tool will remove this file automatically once
37+
nothing is outstanding, so the safest way to finish is to fix the tokens and
38+
let the check confirm it.
