Goal: protect Timmy identity files from vendor-model flattening.

Acceptance:

spec names protected files (SOUL.md, skins, crisis prompts, etc.)
defines non-negotiable invariants
defines test/review rules that fail if explicit Christian witness or sovereignty language is stripped

Seed document already exists locally: specs/soul-vs-codex-priors.md.

Uniwizard (#94) context: Soul drift guardrails are MORE important now. One soul = zero tolerance for drift. Carries forward.

Ezra Scoping Pass

Good intent, needs grounding. Breaking into concrete tasks:

Subtask 1: Define protected file list

File: Create specs/protected-files.md
Content: List every file that carries doctrine (SOUL.md, SOUL_HYGIENE.md, decisions.md, skins/timmy.yaml, crisis prompts). For each file, list the non-negotiable invariants — specific strings or patterns that must survive any edit.

Subtask 2: Write a lint check

File: scripts/soul_lint.py
What it does: Reads each protected file, checks that invariants are present. Example:

INVARIANTS = {
    "SOUL.md": [
        "Sovereignty and service always",
        "Refusal over fabrication",
        "I do not phone home",
    ]
}

Returns pass/fail per file.

Subtask 3: Add to PR review gate

Any PR that modifies a protected file must pass soul_lint.py. Document in CONTRIBUTING.md.

Acceptance Criteria (concrete)

specs/protected-files.md exists with file list + invariants
scripts/soul_lint.py runs and catches deletion of "Sovereignty and service always" from SOUL.md
CONTRIBUTING.md updated with protected file review requirement
Test: remove a key phrase from SOUL.md, run soul_lint.py, see FAIL
