Wave 10 — packaging: composer_replication is now pip-installable

Wave 6: vision validation self-audit (5/10 to 9/10 in 5 days, no GPU)

Wave 5: full publication-materials drafts (pre-experimental release set)

Wave 4: data collator + loss composition smoke (38/38 tests pass)

Wave 3: integration architecture + spike-005 trainer skeleton (16 tests pass)
