ideas: editorial sweep — atomization, interlinking, restructuring

- Split competitive-analysis-2026-05.org → TOC + 9 competitor files in
  ideas/competitors/. Dropped date from filename. All competitor UUIDs
  generated, TOC keeps original UUID for backlink continuity.
- Deleted passepartout-economics.org archive (replaced by 27-node KB).
- Inlined 5 'See also' blocks into natural prose (compliance-index,
  first-mover-window, revenue-table, orders-of-magnitude-time,
  native-org-knowledge-base).
- Linked 7 orphan compliance pages back to compliance index + finished
  truncated sentences.
- Linked all 14 Agora requirement docs from topic-relevant pages
  (identity→lisp-machine-security, infrastructure→compute-marketplace,
  social-space→growth-strategy, exchange→agora-contracts, etc.).
- Linked ai-industry-impact from investment-thesis, sufficiency-flip,
  verification-appliance, effects-growth-flywheel (up from 1 to 10+ pages).
- Fixed CREATED timestamps to use git commit dates instead of today.
- Made all links absolute from root (no port inheritance).
- Removed stale agora/docs/ duplicate content.

#+title: Collective Regression Suite — Specification
#+filetags: :passepartout:evaluation:regression:suite:collective:
The [[file:evaluation-harness.org][evaluation harness]] is not a static test suite written once. It is a living artifact that grows with every deployed instance. Every gate decision that a human corrects becomes a test case. Every bug fix adds an edge case. Every regulatory update adds a rule that must be checked.

**Why collective**
A single instance learns from its own mistakes. The collective learns from every instance's mistakes. A [[file:compliance/hipaa.org][HIPAA]] deployment in one hospital discovers an edge case that a [[file:compliance/soc2.org][SOC2]] deployment in a SaaS company would never encounter on its own — but if that SaaS company ever expands into healthcare, their gate stack must handle that edge case. The collective suite gives them hundreds of thousands of edge cases they did not pay to discover.

This is the mechanism behind the [[file:verification-monopoly.org][verification monopoly claim]]. A certification means "your gate stack is verified against every edge case ever discovered by any instance in the ecosystem." A competitor starting from scratch cannot buy or scrape this knowledge.

At year 3, a new instance that runs the suite captures half a million edge cases from real deployments at zero marginal cost. The operator charges $50K-$200K for the certification. The insurmountability is not technical — a well-funded competitor could reproduce some of these cases through synthetic generation. The insurmountability is provenance: these cases are labeled by real human corrections from real deployments. A synthetic case is a best guess. The collective suite's cases are ground truth.

Every component of this loop exists or is on Passepartout's roadmap except the Agora Note publishing channel. The gate stack generates the raw signal. The abstraction pass strips instance details. The local triage de-duplicates. The Agora DID provides authentication. The Merkle root provides integrity. The certification badge provides monetization.
Nothing in this loop requires new core Passepartout functionality. It requires the Agora protocol for inter-instance communication and a server-side aggregation process. Both are roadmap items, but neither depends on the self-driving Lisp Machine. The suite itself is the [[file:infrastructure-lock-in.org][infrastructure lock-in]] — once an enterprise has certified against it, switching to a competitor means rebuilding their compliance from scratch.
