Archives the closed PR #113 (readout-aligned geometry) as a research record — proposal + spec moved to openspec/changes/archive/, and the head-to-head result kept in behavioural-scaleup-probe.md. No implementation code, no behaviour change (the spec delta is NOT applied to canonical specs; the implementation stays on the closed #113 branch).

Finding: readout-alignment HURTS the co-firing Spearman (0.640 → 0.27; full-rank recovers 0.640 because it's a rotation) — co-firing is encoder-side, the readout subspace is decode-side. This vindicates Polygram's raw-decoder geometry for the co-firing claim.

…alsified finding

PR #113's readout-aligned geometry profile is not shipped — the behavioural head-to-head FALSIFIED its premise
(readout-alignment HURTS the co-firing Spearman 0.640 -> 0.27; full rank just recovers baseline; co-firing is
encoder-side, the readout subspace is decode-side -> vindicates the raw-decoder geometry). Archive the proposal
+ spec as a research record (spec delta NOT applied to canonical specs; implementation stays on the closed PR
branch) and keep the head-to-head result in behavioural-scaleup-probe.md so the finding is on main.
