docs: record the corpus shape measurement in Field Note 05 - #135
Merged
Conversation
The note spent the day on whether the boundary works and never asked whether the corpus accumulates. That question now has a number on the catalogue: 0.17 import edges per accepted submission, four of twenty six corpus constants reaching a second submission's statement. The section explains why two measures are published rather than one, and why the number is generated on every merge rather than written into a note: a metric published only when it flatters is not evidence.

The note argued all day about whether the boundary works and never asked whether the corpus accumulates. That question now has a number on the catalogue, and the note should say what it is and why it is measured that way.
New section, placed before the close:
The close now opens on three questions rather than two, noting the first is at least counted. If the ratio climbs the premise has something behind it; if it stays near one edge per six, what exists is a growing collection of correct independent libraries — a fine thing, and a different claim from the one on the front page.
