docs(knowledge): GUID canon + prefix routing — the policy side (crystallization)

Crystallizes the operator-pinned canonical GUID (OGAR/CLAUDE.md) into
lance-graph's policy-side contract before it dilutes:

- The canon cited (hex dash-groups = classid-HEEL-HIP-TWIG-[basin+id];
  key(128)+value(3968)=4096; 3x4 uniform, tier = nibble >> 2; RFC 9562 =
  wrapper concern; NodeGuid #480 audited against the canon group-by-group,
  never the reverse — Phase B question: groups 3-4 yield all eight
  nibbles to HIP/TWIG).
- Policy ownership table: registry mint (Phase B), per-class
  4^4-hierarchical codebooks on the registry shelf (prefix-scoped,
  longest-prefix wins), PrefixShapeTable registration into ndarray's
  router, quorum certificate type landing in contract::quorum (the #411
  scaffold), escalation via the shipped RouteAction precedent.
- Anti-eigenvalue-theater rules contract-side: quorum certificate with
  measured-tau (I-NOISE-FLOOR-JIRAK; Pflug-10 anchors 0.9973/0.965),
  named typed metrics (no-umbrella; raw-XOR-u64 ordering is the named
  anti-pattern), escalate-never-silently-accept, ShapeId is a register
  key (I-VSA-IDENTITIES Test 0).
- Probes shared with the ndarray counterpart: ROUTE-1, QUORUM-1, PHI-1,
  PYR-1, CODEBOOK-44, HILBERT-L4 (blocker).

+**Confidence:** High on the canon + receipts; CONJECTURE (probes named) on the new surfaces

+dash-groups ARE the cascade delimiters. Key-of-key-value: node = key(128) +
+value(3968) = 4096 bits — the key routes/resolves/compares/scopes/names with

+## 1. The canon (cited)
+
+```
+xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx     32 hex = 128 bit = the GUID
+classid    HEEL   HIP    TWIG   basin·leaf(6)+identity(6)
+```
+
+- **Key-of-key-value:** node = key(128) + value(3968) = 4096 bits. The key
+  routes/resolves/compares/scopes/names with zero value decode.
+- **3×4 uniform** (`tier = nibble >> 2`); RFC 9562 = wrapper concern;
+  standing 3×4-vs-4×3 watch lives in `OGAR/CLAUDE.md`.
+- **Centroid tile [H]:** path = 6 bytes = CAM-PQ 6×256; per-tier 256×256
+  LUT distance; codebooks 4⁴-hierarchical; **scoped by class prefix**
+  (longest-prefix wins).
+- Wrapper audit direction: `contract::identity::NodeGuid` (#480) is the
+  carving of this GUID — audited against the canon **group-by-group**,
+  never the reverse. Groups 1–2 + the 24-bit `local` already match; the
+  Phase B question is groups 3–4 yielding all eight nibbles to HIP/TWIG.
+
+## 2. lance-graph owns POLICY (ndarray owns mechanism)
+
+| Concern | Where it lands | Status |
+|---|---|---|
+| `(entity_type ↔ NiblePath)` bijection mint | ontology registry — Phase B | [H], planned (identity plan) |
+| Per-class centroid codebooks (4⁴-hierarchical, prefix-scoped) | registry shelf, next to `ClassView`/`StructuralSignature` — minted with the class, trained once (amortized) | CONJECTURE → PROBE-CODEBOOK-44 (ndarray doc §6) |
+| `PrefixShapeTable` registration (classid/prefix → `ShapeId`) | lance-graph builds the table from the registry; ndarray routes by it, never knowing semantics | CONJECTURE → PROBE-ROUTE-1 |
+| Quorum certificate type | `contract::quorum` — the #411 scaffold (`todo!()`) is the named landing spot; `HighHeelBGZ`'s basin-merge L1-threshold consensus is the existing mechanism to generalize | CONJECTURE → PROBE-QUORUM-1 |
+| Escalation on quorum fail | HHTL tier escalation (`bgz-tensor::hhtl_cache::RouteAction::Escalate` is the shipped precedent) | [G] mechanism / [H] wiring |
+
+## 3. The anti-theater rules, contract side
+
+The ndarray casebook (`pp13-brutally-honest-tester-verdict.md`) defines
+eigenvalue theater: cheap arithmetic wearing metric/spectral language it
+does not earn (unsatisfiable PSD gates; optimism thresholds; enforced
+placeholders; unrun "verified" claims; raw-XOR-u64 as "nearest").
+
+Contract-side consequences:
+1. **Cheap-path answers carry a quorum certificate** — k-of-n φ-stride
+   probes agree within τ; τ from measured anchors (ρ = 0.9973 HIP / 0.965
+   TWIG; Pflug-10 palette certification) under **I-NOISE-FLOOR-JIRAK**
+   (Jirak 2016 rates, never classical Berry-Esseen, never optimism).
+2. **Metrics are named typed fns** (`cognitive-distance-typing.md`
+   no-umbrella rule): popcount Hamming, palette L1 ADC — raw-XOR-u64
+   ordering is the named anti-pattern.
+3. **Quorum fail escalates a tier; never silently accepts.**
+4. **`ShapeId` is a register key** (I-VSA-IDENTITIES Test 0): points to a
+   shape; never bundled, never content-hashed.
+5. **No spectral language on the cheap path.** PSD/eigen/Σ claims route to
+   ndarray's pillar suite with relative tolerances and measured thresholds.
+
+## 4. Probes (shared numbering with the ndarray doc)
+
+PROBE-ROUTE-1 (batch parity + ≥4× bench) · PROBE-QUORUM-1 (accept ⇒ ρ ≥
+anchor; reject ⇒ escalate) · PROBE-PHI-1 (φ-stride discrepancy beats
+uniform) · PROBE-PYR-1 (perturbation pyramid byte-exact) ·
+PROBE-CODEBOOK-44 (4⁴ vs flat-256 within Pflug band) · PROBE-HILBERT-L4
+(ndarray P0-4 — blocks any L4 cascade-addressing claim until green).
