Protocol acknowledgement

I will not change shit about a process without consulting Kyle first.

The approved intake-to-deliverable workflow remains locked: preserve the published source, transcribe it, verify it, document discrepancies rather than silently correcting them, generate the archive record immediately, and complete each entry before advancing.
