Approval boundary

Approval must be explicit and attributable to the owner/operator after review

of this exact digest. It authorizes production activation of this release only.

It does not establish a sale, tax conclusion, settlement, demand, revenue, or

income, and it does not authorize unrelated outreach or financial commitments.

After explicit approval, update `config/research-kit-launch-approval.json` and

retain a matching approval record before rerunning:


pnpm revenue:research-kit:launch-readiness

The command must report `ready-for-operator-activation` with zero blockers

before the current release is described as approved.
