tegwick 0dbef6d1a3 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.

summary: Register a new capability so it becomes visible for planning and implementation reuse.

maturity:
discovery:
current: D3

Core use case UC-RS-001 is documented in specs/UseCaseCatalog.md and the
registry model is bounded in INTENT.md, but concrete promotion workflows
are not yet grounded in registry artifacts.

Registration and maintenance are automatable through the reuse-surface CLI
for validate, query, and export workflows.

- capability IDs can be assigned in registry entries
- maturity vectors can be recorded at registration time

- CLI requires local venv install

intent: >
Make a capability candidate visible in the registry so humans and agents can
discover, assess, compare, and reuse it instead of rebuilding it in isolation.
includes:
- stable capability ID assignment
- initial discovery and availability classification

- evidence and relation references

- implementing the registered capability
- certifying implementation quality
- operating runtime services for registered capabilities

- unregistered capabilities are invisible for registry-driven reuse
- low-maturity entries are acceptable when evidence gaps are explicit

# Capability Registration
## Overview
Registration is the entry point for reuse visibility. A capability that is not
registered cannot be discovered through the registry surface, even if code or
documentation exists elsewhere.
## Current reuse mode
Humans and agents add Markdown entries under `registry/capabilities/` and update
`registry/indexes/capabilities.yaml`. This is informational reuse (A0): read,
plan, and author entries.
## Next promotion steps
1. Attach concrete use cases and actors to reach D5.
2. Add a CLI validator to reach A3.
3. Record consumer expectations and broken expectations as external evidence.
