Capture pre-grant npm download baseline; commit to docs/program/ #167

Description

@dlrice

Context
Historical NPM package download data exists and is the natural pre-grant adoption baseline.

Scope
Pull historical download data for protvista-uniprot from the public npm registry API (https://api.npmjs.org/downloads/range/{period}/protvista-uniprot; no auth required; data goes back to early 2015, package published from 2018).

Commit docs/program/npm-baseline.md containing:

  • Annual download totals from 2018 through end of Q1 (30 Apr 2026).
  • Monthly download series for the last 24 months, for trend visibility.
  • The exact API calls used and the pull date.
  • A short paragraph on the soft-rename (protvista-uniprotprotvista with v5) and how forward metrics will reconcile across the two package names once v5 ships.

Reference the baseline file in the Q2 progress report's "Software-usage metrics" section.

Acceptance

  • docs/program/npm-baseline.md committed to main.
  • Pull date and data cutoff stated explicitly in the file header.
  • Forward-metric reconciliation note included.
  • Q2 report references the file in section 6.3 (or equivalent).
