Complete REUSE-WP-0003: registry CLI, docs alignment, and coverage

Align INTENT.md with delivered layout, add CapabilityRegistryConcept guide,
extend schema with promotion_history, ship reuse-surface validate/query/export
CLI, register three more helix_forge capabilities, and refresh SCOPE and gap
analysis to reflect A3 tooling and D5/A3/C4/R2 self-assessment.

# Capability Registry Concept
**Repository:** `reuse-surface`
**Audience:** Humans onboarding to the registry
**Companion docs:** `INTENT.md`, `SCOPE.md`, `specs/CapabilityMaturityStandard.md`
---
## 1. What problem this solves
Reusable capabilities are often scattered across repositories, documents,
prototypes, and services. Without a registry, teams and agents rediscover,
duplicate, and inconsistently assess the same behaviors.
`reuse-surface` makes capabilities **visible**, **comparable**, and **reusable**
for planning and implementation through a registry-first reuse layer.
> A capability that is not registered is invisible for registry-driven reuse.
---
## 2. Core principles
### Registry first
The registry is the boundary of practical reuse awareness. Analysis starts with
what is registered, not with everything that might exist informally.
### Reuse over inventory
The goal is capability reuse, not a complete inventory of all work products.
### Planning and implementation are different
- **Planning reuse** feeds primarily on **Discovery** maturity (D0D7).
- **Implementation reuse** feeds primarily on **Availability** maturity (A0A7).
A capability may be well researched (D5) but only informational (A0). Another
may be deployable (A4) but weakly bounded (D2). Compare both dimensions.
### Internal and external evidence stay separate
| Type | Dimensions | Question |
|---|---|---|
| Internal registry assessment | Discovery, Availability | How reusable is it for planning? How consumable is it? |
| External consumer evidence | Completeness, Reliability | Does scope satisfy intent? Does it behave well in use? |
Do not treat availability as reliability, or research depth as completeness.

## 3. Maturity vector
A compact summary:
```text
D5 / A4 / C3 / R3
```
Vectors are descriptive, not grades. A research vocabulary capability may
naturally target `D5 / A0 / C4 / R3`. A CLI tool may target `D5 / A3 / C5 / R5`.
Canonical level definitions: `specs/CapabilityMaturityStandard.md`.
---
## 4. How the artifacts fit together
```text
templates/capability-entry.template.md → authoring starting point
registry/capabilities/*.md → canonical entries (YAML front matter)
registry/indexes/capabilities.yaml → fast discovery index for agents
schemas/capability.schema.yaml → machine-readable entry contract
registry/README.md → validation and search guidance
tools/ → CLI validate, query, export
```
**Authoring flow**
1. Search the index for overlap.
2. Copy the template to `registry/capabilities/`.
3. Fill maturity and evidence fields explicitly.
4. Add an index row.
5. Validate with `reuse-surface validate`.
**Consumption flow**
1. Read `registry/indexes/capabilities.yaml`.
2. Filter by vector, tags, or consumption mode.
3. Open candidate entry files for scope, relations, and guidance.
4. Prefer planning reuse at D3+ and implementation reuse at A2+.

## 5. What is manual vs automated today
See `SCOPE.md` for the live boundary. In summary:
| Activity | Mode |
|---|---|
| Discover capabilities | Index + `reuse-surface query` |
| Add or promote entries | Markdown authoring + index update |
| Validate shape | `reuse-surface validate` |
| Export for agents | `reuse-surface export` |
| Promotion history | Optional `promotion_history` in entries |
| Graph visualization, federation, CI gates | Not yet available |

## 6. When to register a capability
Register when a bounded reusable behavior should be:
- discoverable for roadmap or architecture planning
- comparable to adjacent capabilities
- consumable through known artifacts (now or later)
- assessed with explicit evidence over time
Do not register one-off features, tickets, or internal code modules unless they
represent a reusable capability boundary.
