Captures the rough-sketch interview as 15 discrete contracts (guarantee / forbids / why): determinism, causality, single-merge-at-ingestion, cycle granularity, freshness-gated recompute, firing policies A/B, SoA scalar payloads, node contract, fractal acyclic composition, the broker-is-part-of-strategy execution chain, generalized sources with the record-then-replay boundary, the atomic sim unit + four axes, authoring-only hot-reload, headless two-faced core, and resampling/sessions. Also corrects the tracker repo name to Brummel/Aura.
