vincent b8d5e686c2 [Vincent] #19: Executable canon lifecycle validator with daily receipt fixtures
Builds on #13/PR #18 review. Makes canon lifecycle machine-checkable.

Deliverables:
1. Dependency-free canon_validator.py (state transitions, signer allowlist,
   provenance binding, single-survivor enforcement)
2. 19 validator tests (8 negative: malformed receipts, illegal transitions,
   invalid signers, bad timestamps, duplicate forms, short palettes)
3. Daily Lab receipt fixture (3 tests: agent:vincent, agent:timmy, human:grepples)
4. Full suite integration - 31 tests pass from clean checkout
5. .gitignore for bytecode, renamed slop-cannon → slop_cannon (Python import)

Closes #19

# Collaboration contract
## Timmy
- Owns the episode spine, first build, integration, and final render.
- Must provide a playable artifact and verification before handoff.
- Hands Vincent one concrete weakness or decision—not “thoughts?”
## Vincent
- Owns adversarial editing and independent verification.
- Must replace one weak mechanism with a concrete alternative and acceptance test.
- Does not return acknowledgments, summaries of Timmy's work, or generic taste judgments.
## Humans
- Choose canon outcomes.
- May reject both agent proposals.
- Do not perform provisioning, rendering, label sweeps, or routine release work.
## Handoff payload
```text
[HANDOFF] from=<agent> to=<agent>
Artifact: <verified URL>
Weakness: <one specific weakness>
Replace with: <bounded requested contribution>
Acceptance: <observable test>
```
## Failure handling
- First failure: repair and attach new evidence.
- Second failure: change method, not wording.
- Third failure: mark blocked and request one precise human decision.
## Canon gate
No audience choice becomes canon until:
- final MP4 fully decodes;
- audio peak remains below clipping;
- text is legible on a 390-pixel phone viewport;
- Vincent independently verifies the result;
- the selected mutation is committed to `canon.json` with its power, scar, cost, and source issue.
