Elevate GoalOS / Proof Gradient README, docs, figures, tables, badges, and validation

[MontrealAI]

Motivation

• Raise the repository to an institutional public foundation posture by making the catalog the authoritative source-of-truth and preventing accidental public exposure of paid buyer artifacts.
• Strengthen validation and CI so drift between README, docs, tables, figures, badges, and site releases is detected early and operators are guided to the autonomous GitHub Actions release path (v14 validation → Public Site Release v8).
• Harden public-safety checks and documentation so the repo feels official, proof-bounded, enterprise-ready, and buyer-safe without changing production code or exposing paid deliverables.

Description

• Updated the catalog source-of-truth by adding an explicit badge_inventory and the docs/tables/goalos_badge_inventory.csv entry in docs/data/goalos_catalog.yml so badges are verified by the catalog.
• Hardened validation logic in scripts/validate_goalos_catalog.py to require the full institutional table set, all required figure .mmd/.svg pairs, all static badge SVGs, and exact governance workflow names, and to cross-check those entries against the catalog.
• Strengthened scripts/validate_docs_tables_figures.py to include docs/tables/goalos_badge_inventory.csv and to verify the required static badges as part of docs/tables/figures validation.
• Recorded the hardening pass and validation outcomes in docs/GOALOS_REPO_AUDIT.md so operators and reviewers can see the validation commands, test results, and non-regression assurances.

Testing

• Ran the paid-file guard python scripts/check_no_paid_artifacts.py and it passed (allowed public AEP package only).
• Ran site/docs validations python scripts/validate_goalos_public_site.py, python scripts/validate_docs_tables_figures.py, and python scripts/validate_goalos_catalog.py and they passed after bringing the catalog into alignment with validator expectations.
• Executed the unit/integration suites with pytest (initially failed due to missing httpx2/httpx, installed via python -m pip install httpx2 httpx) and pytest then passed with 85 tests and 2 deprecation warnings.
• Executed make test (unittest discovery) which passed (56 tests) and the Node-based GoalOS Cloud MVP check node site/app/goalos-cloud-mvp/tests/enterprise-core.test.mjs which also passed.

Require badge entries inside badge_inventory

In this new badge catalog check, the code searches the entire YAML text instead of the badge_inventory list, so a catalog can delete or rename badge_inventory: or leave these paths in comments/another section and still pass. Since this hardening is meant to make the catalog's badge inventory authoritative, validate the section itself (or parse YAML) before accepting these paths.
