What

Document the recommended M3 Max resource allocation as a spec in specs/m3-max-resource-allocation.md:

Component	Target Core(s)	Memory	Optimization
Soft Brain (LLM)	GPU (40-core)	80GB (Q8_0)	MLX-LM with KV Cache reuse, Flash Attention
Mechanical Brain (DLE)	P-Cores (12-core)	32GB	Multi-process Z3/Lean 4, Metal-accelerated sub-solvers
Logic Router (Small LLM)	E-Cores (4-core)	4GB	Distil-Hermes (MLX), few-shot prompting
System/OS & Buffers	E-Cores	12GB	Default macOS scheduling

Also document:

UMA zero-copy advantage for neuro-symbolic loops
Thermal management guidelines (workload pipelining, dynamic core scheduling)
Monitoring: sudo powermetrics for real-time core/thermal analysis

Why

The blueprint provides hardware-specific optimization guidance that should be captured as a reference spec, not buried in a PDF. This is the deployment guide for the M3 Max target platform.

Acceptance

specs/m3-max-resource-allocation.md exists with tables, monitoring commands, and rationale

Closing as duplicate during backlog burn-down. Canonical issue: #9.

Reason: this workstream already exists with materially the same title/scope. Keeping one canonical thread prevents agent churn and review waste.
