Retires research/urpcs/ as historical evidence after conversation-history review established that the GPT-assisted implementation substituted a recursive pairing/authenticated codec for Erin Spencer's intended multi-arity interleaving construction.

The retained code/tests/receipts remain evidence only for the substituted implementation. They must not be used to validate or falsify the intended URPCS design.

Updates the local warning, root architecture projections, agent guidance, BASE authority, machine work graph, human manifest, and recomputed work-graph digest. Cause of the substitution remains hmmm.

P2 Badge Mark the BASE standing as historical

Although this updates BASE.authority to retired historical evidence, the same machine record still exports standing: "stack-local-research" on line 7. Consumers that classify workspaces from BASE.json will therefore continue treating URPCS as active research despite the retirement, and the consistency checker currently does not catch that contradiction. Change the standing to a historical/retired value and include it in the retirement consistency checks.

P2 Badge Load historical metadata in the analyzer itself

The new test reads historical copies of WORK_GRAPH.json and SOURCE_RECEIPT.json, but the documented relational-audit CLI still calls _authority_context(), which compares every current FROZEN_PATHS file byte-for-byte with STACK_INPUT_COMMIT at urpcs_relational_analyzer.py:912-914. Because this commit changes both metadata files, running the README's audit command with otherwise exact UCNS, skill-lib, and METAPAT checkouts now always raises frozen URPCS drift; apply the historical-file handling to the executable validation path as well, or stop treating the mutable retirement projections as frozen computational inputs.

P2 Badge Keep the historical-evidence tests shallow-clone safe

In a depth-1 checkout, this new git show exits 128 because commit 01f340b... is outside the shallow history; the analogous lookup of STACK_INPUT_COMMIT at lines 271-273 fails as well. Consequently the README's unittest discover command now reports two errors in ordinary shallow clones, even though this test was previously able to verify the receipt from checked-out bytes. The updated project workflow hides the regression with fetch-depth: 0, but other CI and local shallow callers still break, so verify against stored receipt identities without requiring unreachable commits or explicitly deepen the repository before these checks.
