David Charlot b838b86a8b joule-code: stand up the Joule Code standard (v0.1.0 draft)
Joule Code is the coding cargo class of the substrate: a coding operation —
an edit, refactor, or generated function — is a content-addressed, signed
transition over a source tree, resolved through the energy-tiered cascade
(L0 Cache → L1 Lawful → L2 Embed → L3 Model → L4 Wire, stop-at-first-close)
with a signed JWP receipt (measured + estimated µJ, honest Provenance) per
operation. The agent schema is JouleClaw; L4 frontier agents are reached over
ACP with the credential held by the vendor's own client — no protocol token,
no required contact with any single company.

Stands up the standard to the family schema:
- README, SPEC.md (RFC-2119 normative), dual licence (Apache-2.0 code /
  CC-BY-4.0 spec), ROADMAP, CONTRIBUTING, CHANGELOG.
- spec/: cargo (the coding-operation type), cascade (the tier binding),
  receipt (the JWP energy record), collab (federated, interface-level/Research).
- vocab/LEXICON.md.
- conformance/v1/: C1 content-addressing, C2 signing, C3 receipt, C4 cascade
  vectors + VERSIONS + regeneration; real Ed25519 RFC-8032 KATs, derived
  fields regenerated against the reference library.
- joule-code-rs/: lean reference library (schema, cargo, receipt, cascade,
  conformance). cargo test --workspace passes; the conformance harness runs
  11 pass / 0 fail / 7 skip (derived fields pending regeneration).

Single-endpoint operation is the v0.1 surface; federated collaboration is
specified at interface level and classified Research. Registers the standard
in the family README.
