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

"""
Dependency-free JSON Schema validator for Cannon Chain canon lifecycle.
Validates:
- form.state transitions (candidate -> survivor | archive_ghost)
- audience_choice schema (survivor_id, stolen_trait, source_episode, source_issue, committed_at)
- receipt schema (episode_id, form_id, provenance, signed_by, deltas)
- signer allowlist (agent:vincent, agent:timmy, human:*)
- Exactly one survivor per episode
- Rejected forms promoted to archive_ghost
- Illegal state transitions rejected
Usage:
from projects.slop_cannon.canon_validator import validate_canon
result = validate_canon(canon_data)
assert result.valid, result.errors
