Incorporates the signal-engine workstream's v2.0 thesis correction: the spine is bitcoin
as the apex NON-DEBASABLE RESERVE ASSET (debasement = forcing function, AI = abundance
engine), NOT "infrastructure settles on bitcoin" (the settlement/payments claim — Strike's
payments thesis died in backtest). thesis_seed.ensure_thesis_v2_candidate stages the
v2.0 root/forcing-function, throughline, the verifiable-vs-contrarian decomposition, and
the 3 seams (Energy↔Compute, Debasement↔Bitcoin, AI↔Data-Ownership) as CANDIDATE nodes
under the core line (idempotent sentinel; provenance + "unratified, exposure unconfirmed"
on the section). Nothing canonical (guardrail #4). docs/thesis-handoff.md gets a
SUPERSEDED-spine banner pointing to v2.0.
NOT done (gated on partner ratification): the live THROUGHLINE/PILLAR_1 constants and
architect_agent.py's system prompt ("scarcity as the connecting idea") still encode the
old spine — until ratified+updated, Vary/Revise/outreach regenerate the old framing.

Saves the 2026-06-05 Architect positioning pass as competing CANDIDATE options
under the core line's positioning variant group, beside Option A/B: Convergence
(47/60), Access (40), Asymmetry (36), Scarcity/chokepoints (35), Freedom-tech (28),
each with its red-team weakness inline. One-time, additive, non-canonical
(guardrail #4); idempotent via an interaction_log sentinel so a partner-deleted
option is never resurrected. ensure_positioning_framings runs after the v5 seed.
Test: test_positioning_framings.py (count/candidacy/idempotency/no-resurrection/log).

backend/thesis_seed.py builds the starting "living messaging source of truth"
from docs/thesis-seed-v5.md: a core line (throughline; the open Option A/B banner
as a competing variant group; the three pillars; the proof; voice rules), one line
per LP segment carrying that segment's angle, and the five segment definitions.
ensure_thesis_seed(conn) runs from init_db, seeding ONLY when the Workshop is empty
(no thesis lines) — idempotent and non-destructive, so it bootstraps once and never
overwrites partner edits. Everything lands draft/candidate; nothing is made canonical
(that stays the partners' dual-approval action, guardrail #4). Content is Ten31's own
messaging, not LP data.
Test: backend/test_thesis_seed.py runs init_db and asserts the core line, 5 segment
lines, the 2-member Option A/B variant group, 3 pillars, segment_cuts, and segment
defs, plus re-seed-is-a-no-op (11/11).
