Outcome
This PR proves package-owned fact, instantiation, and equality evidence into an ordinary-kernel theorem over the caller-owned base program. It also makes the SPEC primarily a design for an arbitrary-function propagator engine, rather than an endpoint-arithmetic project.
Framework contract
The implementation experiment for dynamic arbitrary-scope instantiation is staged separately in #9081 and #9082. This replay branch records the contract that those binding/application deltas must satisfy and rejects forged identities.
Priority and open design
Rational planning, projection, conformance, and benchmarks are now a separate deferred, non-gating backend track. Before that work resumes, the framework must complete a replayed non-polynomial sine package and the atomic branch transition. The SPEC deliberately leaves physical arenas, matcher indexes/certificates, scope anchors, binding tombstones versus append-stability witnesses, branch storage, scheduling scores, and endpoint backends open to experiment.
