Anchor essay
Why the work defines an enduring standard for execution, distinction or system behavior.
METHODOLOGY / CANON
The work stays canonical. The pipeline must prove it.
Canon is not a leaderboard. It is a regression alarm: fixed anchor work runs through each candidate pipeline, and a broken result indicts the pipeline before it indicts the work.
GALLERY STATUSSEALED UNTIL FORMULA LOCK
Membership remains private during calibration to reduce benchmark gaming. No anchor identity or score will be invented here. The gallery opens only after two stable full runs and rights clearance for every displayed artifact.
