docs: seed docs/proof-debt.md index per trusted-base policy (#71)

Per the trusted-base reduction policy (hyperpolymath/standards#203),
adds a schema-conformant index at docs/proof-debt.md that references
PROOF-NEEDS.md as the source of truth.

This repo already has substantive proof-debt documentation in
PROOF-NEEDS.md — this PR doesn't duplicate that content, just adds the
schema bridge so the check-trusted-base CI gate (standards#211) finds
docs/proof-debt.md at the canonical filename and recognises this repo
as documented.

Marker count detected by check-trusted-base.sh: 34.

+# Proof Debt — stapeln
+
+**Schema**: [hyperpolymath/standards `TRUSTED-BASE-REDUCTION-POLICY.adoc`](https://github.com/hyperpolymath/standards/blob/main/docs/TRUSTED-BASE-REDUCTION-POLICY.adoc) (standards#203).
+
+This file is the schema-conformant **index** for this repo's proof
+debt. The substantive content lives in
+[`PROOF-NEEDS.md`](../PROOF-NEEDS.md) — keep that file as the source of truth
+and use this one as the schema bridge for the
+`check-trusted-base.sh` CI gate ([standards#211](https://github.com/hyperpolymath/standards/pull/211)).
+
+## Marker count (2026-05-26)
+
+34 soundness-relevant escape hatches detected by
+`scripts/check-trusted-base.sh`. See `PROOF-NEEDS.md` for the per-site
+classification rationale.
+
+## (a) DISCHARGED in this repo
+
+See `PROOF-NEEDS.md` — any markers no longer present in source.
+
+## (b) BUDGETED — tested with a refutation budget
+
+See `PROOF-NEEDS.md` — markers at FFI / extraction boundaries with
+documented property-test budgets.
+
+## (c) NECESSARY AXIOM
+
+See `PROOF-NEEDS.md` — markers that encode metatheoretic assumptions.
+
+## (d) DEBT — actively to be closed
+
+See `PROOF-NEEDS.md` — markers still owed a proof or a §(b)/§(c)
+classification.
+
+## How to update this file
+
+When markers change in source:
+
+1. Update `PROOF-NEEDS.md` first (source of truth).
+2. If the marker count changes substantially, update the count above
+   so this index doesn't drift.
+3. The `check-trusted-base` CI gate (standards#211) reads BOTH
+   `docs/proof-debt.md` AND `PROOF-NEEDS.md` for documentation lookups,
+   so the index can stay light.
