Lifecycle Taxonomy

Durable artifacts use the current lifecycle protocol at PILLARS/SPIRIT/protocols/lifecycle/CURRENT.md: SPARK, SEED, SPROUT, POD, or outside lifecycle. Entity classes are permanent; graduation is additive through new linked entities, not mutation of the original.

Agent Note

If you are reading this from a local copy or clone, ensure your paths cohere with the current PILLARS structure. The canonical shape evolves; stale local paths drift. Cross-reference PILLARS/STONES/CORE.md for the current map.
