docs(studies): three-lens study of TurnTrout's "Why I Left Google DeepMind" — meta-prompt + house-style render

[OpenCnid]

What this adds

Two companion artifacts under a new scoped docs/studies/ path for reading Alex Turner's (TurnTrout) essay "Why I Left Google DeepMind" through Trellis's epistemology and its two developers, Cnid (owner / domain authority) and Matt (Matthew Murphy, Lexideck; collaborator):

1. turntrout-why-i-left-deepmind.metaprompt.md — a self-contained study driver to paste into a separate session. It fetches and reads the essay, grounds the Trellis lens in the primary doctrine docs, and returns a study memo.
2. turntrout-why-i-left-deepmind.study.html — a beautified, self-contained render of the study, with a purpose-built SVG architecture diagram.

The three lenses (a cover, held apart)

• Trellis doctrine — custody vs. standing; a claim moves toward fact only by evidence or a gate; capabilities-are-beliefs (basis changes → contest and re-review); "prose is not a constraint; it is a wish."
• Cnid — authority, the gate, precommitment, enforcement; the positive-control instinct; deterministic verification outranks the claim.
• Matt — mechanism vs. instruction, incentive gradients, composition (cover → global section), residual; the Claim / Mechanism / Failure-it-closes / Measurement / Residual frame; rule 15.

The essay's immigration-enforcement-supply-chain section is called out for explicit coverage.

How it's built

• Authored with the in-repo prompt-engineering + hypershot-protocol skills: semantic-tag containers over a contamination-free hypershot output frame that primes the memo's shape without seeding its verdict.
• The HTML inherits the house visual system verbatim from docs/density-chain/DENSITY-CHAIN.html — brand violet, the five-stop spectral ramp (--t1..--t5), mono uppercase labels, an animated dark-stage SVG banner. Theme-aware (light/dark), responsive, prefers-reduced-motion-respecting; all SVG validated as well-formed.
• The architecture SVG shows the pipeline: specimen → cover (three lenses) → global section (synthesis) → study memo, with the spine (precommitment vs. prose) running its full length.
• Section 4 of the render characterizes and codifies the OpenCnid house voice as a style hypershot — answering the "determine the style, then apply the skills to it" part of the ask.

Scope / notes

• Docs-only. Two new files under docs/studies/; no code, no doctrine changes, no dependencies.
• The study keeps the analysis even-handed on the politics and structural on the method: the instrument is epistemic (precommitment, enforcement, incentive gradients, provenance, standing), a politically neutral lens; the analyst is directed to steelman leadership's position and to separate the essay's claims from inference from judgment. No verdicts are stated — the mappings are hypotheses, the readings a cover, the ruling a global section they must glue into.
