Fork thresholds and mechanics

Question

What supermajority of the Franchise Team is required to fork? What cooldown period applies? What mediation must be attempted first? What minimum Power threshold prevents agitator-driven forks? How are contributor history, Power, and Credits handled across the divergence point?

Founder's lean

All of these, stacked. The existence of forking is decided in Entry 003; the parameters are deliberately deferred so the first test of governance machinery is a real question with stakes — not a ceremonial one.
