Subject: [PATCH] chore: bump .claude pin + claim.yml strips status-ready /
 gates incubation
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Advance the .claude (trinity-dev) submodule pin to 14ce8fb — lands the
status-incubating idea gate, the status-ready reconciliation, the workflow
tips, and two prior submodule refactors.

claim.yml: when /claim adds status-in-progress, strip status-ready (the issue
is no longer merely "ready"); and refuse to claim a status-incubating issue
(an idea not greenlit) — directing the user to promote it first rather than
silently bypassing the incubation gate.
