Agent Kimi 008eca4e1a Stage 0: lore + draft extracted and organized; Salve fix; 5 canon decisions
Extracted the setting bible and adventure draft out of the 58-page scan into
docs/260729-mahadlika-lore-and-draft.md (§1-13) and planned the work in stages.

New:
- docs/260729-mahadlika-lore-and-draft.md  organized lore + draft, 11-item
  contradiction & gap register, and a "what already works" section
- docs/260729-mahadlika-roadmap.md         5 stages, 4 gates, 5 milestones
- docs/260729-plot-stories-intake.md       intake sheet for remembered plots
- 260729-mahadlika-log.txt                 live open-items list + decisions
- PROGRESS.md                              RLC log; repo had none since 260609

Fixed:
- 260610 Mahadlika_Corrected.docx: 37 replacements restoring Salve (the clergy
  rank) from Slave. Case-based rule, no exceptions; all 49 slav* tokens reviewed
  individually first. Verified: archive reopens, zero capital-Slave remain,
  lowercase slavery vocabulary preserved. The corruption was introduced by the
  June "Corrected" pass, not by the scan - the raw markdown was always correct.
- MAHADLIKA...-001.md: 10 compound-rank casing fixes (MagnaSalve, AlteSalve).
  Nothing else touched; that file is column-interleaved and not quotable.

Canon decisions recorded (D-01..D-05, four of them Justin's):
- D-01 bastardize the names, GRRM-style
- D-02 Salve correction applied
- D-03 Salve = SAVIOR (Salvacion/Salvador); -e is the masculine form, which is
       load-bearing against the Exelcia being explicitly patriarchal
- D-04 dark fantasy, 19th-century Philippines (corroborated by the draft's own
       internal dating: Manila 1762, Gomburza 1872, ironclads, galleon decline)
- D-05 world map provenance is John Wick's 7th Sea; this closes register 11.1b -
       Kastellia <- Castille <- Spain, so the Kaijer/Kastellia split is a
       half-propagated rename, not two polities

Register: 4 of 11 items closed, 1 partial, 8 open. Stage 1 is blocked on exactly
one question - what became of the Bagani and the Babaylan (A2 / 11.10).
