Extend the platform through owned contracts

Add devices, code, firmware, hardware, simulations or policies without duplicating another repository's responsibility.

The mobile simulation, navigation and docking stack is active but experimental. The shared manipulation framework and upper-body repositories are planned for the v0.2 cycle and simulation-first; their current contracts are design direction, not released implementation.

Use the repository map before changing a contract and follow the contribution workflow for DCO, contributor agreement, review and testing requirements.
