Draft capability entry (reuse-surface REUSE-WP-0017-T04, cohort 1)

Honest first-pass maturity vector grounded in README/docs/tests present
in this repo; no invented evidence. Flagged for human review before
publish. See reuse-surface history/2026-07-06-coverage-classification.md.

+# Artifact Registry And Storage Gateway
+
+## Overview
+
+`artifact-store` provides a generic, content-addressed artifact registry and storage gateway. State is authoritative in an append-only event log; materialised views are rebuildable. The v0.1 baseline (library, CLI, minimal HTTP app, local filesystem backend) has working end-to-end ingest, finalize, and replay.
+
+## Assessment notes
+
+### Discovery
+
+README, six ADRs (docs/adr/0001-0006) covering content-addressed storage, event-log source of truth, manifest format, control/data-plane contract, and v1 tech stack. Scope and boundary are explicit; no INTENT.md/SCOPE.md yet.
+
+### Availability
+
+Library-first (`artifactstore` Python package) with a thin CLI and minimal HTTP app; local checkout / pip-install only, no packaged distribution or hosted service yet.
+
+### Completeness
+
+First-pass honest assessment from the REUSE-WP-0017 coverage campaign
+(reuse-surface). No external consumer feedback exists yet; levels reflect
+scope-vs-intent documentation quality, not internal code quality.
+
+### Reliability
+
+No production consumer telemetry exists yet; reliability level is
+intentionally conservative pending REUSE-WP-0019 reuse-telemetry evidence.
+
+## Promotion checklist
+
+- [x] ID follows `capability.<domain>.<name>` pattern
+- [x] Maturity enums match `specs/CapabilityMaturityStandard.md`
+- [x] `external_evidence` is populated separately from `maturity`
+- [ ] Relations reference valid capability IDs (none yet)
+- [x] Index entry added in `registry/indexes/capabilities.yaml`
