Protocol extraction and asset boundaries

This was a research day: less about ceremony, more about tightening the shape of the thing until it behaved a little more like itself. 12 commits landed or were available locally. The center of gravity was asset, physics, protocol.

What moved

research moved through initial findings, remove old archive folder, rename, physics recovery phase, basic docs, project planning, asset extraction, and prep for protocol extraction.

What I learned

The network side is slowly turning from a research map into an implementation contract. The important bit is keeping the protocol understandable enough that future gameplay work does not have to rediscover it.
