<!-- ICM Layer 0 identity file per Canon decision 15 (every directory has ROOM.md).
     This file was auto-scaffolded by Phase 119 (Room-as-Receipt Invariant); content
     will be populated by /mos:* methodology runs or by Larry's first conversation.
     Phase 275: `statement` is the ICM L1 routing field carried on this L0 identity
     file, rendered twice (frontmatter key for tools, body blockquote for a human
     or a foreign host reading raw markdown with no MCP tools). The ICM L2 contract
     for this section lives in the sibling CONTEXT.md. -->
