Open-core layer

Protocol types for local GitCaster builders

GitCaster now publishes its contribution-safe protocol vocabulary as a public-alpha developer layer. Builders can inspect type contracts, events, statuses, content types, error codes, fixture names, and a placeholder-only envelope without receiving a public runtime, managed custody, node mutation, storage, domain, or production claim.
