Refine the structure per interview: aura is the reusable engine, research projects are separate external repos depending on it (C16). Add aura-std (universal standard-node tier) to the workspace; remove nodes/ from the engine (project concept). Record authoring-surface = Claude Code + skills pipeline, no embedded coding-LLM (C17), and project management = one-repo-one-project + Aura-native run registry (C18). Add CLAUDE.md invariants 9-10, code_roots -> [crates], and docs/project-layout.md documenting the day-in-the-life and project repo layout.

Cargo workspace aura-core -> aura-engine -> aura-cli (bin `aura`) plus nodes/ for hot-reloadable cdylib node crates. Crate bodies are intentionally API-free; types arrive from the first spec. Adds the skills profile (.claude/dev-cycle-profile.yml), the project CLAUDE.md with the eight domain invariants, and the design-ledger skeleton.
