Source fix for hyperpolymath/standards#645 (runbook §7a): the scaffold that propagates License: PMPL-1.0-or-later

Definitive locator work (authenticated code search, 2026-09-21) resolves the issue's open question — which scaffold propages the line:

Candidate Verdict
rsr-template-repo Clean — zero carrier files (one historical AGENTIC mention only)
scaffoldia Not the emitter — machine-readable-design/harvested-registry/* is harvest data whose README itself records "flagged not fixed (no automated licence edits — ever... owner review needed)". Left untouched per that directive; carriers enumerated in the 645 comment.
developer-ecosystem The emitter. This PR.

Change — template/source surfaces only (6 files, 6 lines)

  • llm-warmup-dev.adoc, llm-warmup-user.adoc (line 17 — the exact files the runbook §7a names; now matches iseriser's canonical * License: MPL-2.0)
  • QUICKSTART-MAINTAINER.adoc (line 109)
  • ABI-FFI-README.adoc (template === License section)
  • stapeln.toml (license field — emitter config for monorepo builds)
  • www/.well-known/humans.txt (template licence line)

Each is a genuine self-declaration/emitter line (runbook §6), developer-ecosystem is off the Rule-2 register, so Rule 1 (MPL-2.0/CC-BY-SA-4.0) applies.

Deliberately NOT in this PR (runbook ordering)

  • Propagated instances inside this monorepo (iser-tools/*, v-ecosystem/* and the remaining body-text matches) — residue, cleaned only after re-propagation, per §7a ordering.
  • The 6 scaffoldia harvested .ncl carriers — harvest data under an explicit no-auto-edit caveat; need owner per-file review, listed on standards#645.
  • All carve-outs (§1/§3): register repos, 007, son-shared, vendored forks, licence exhibits.

Refs runbook docs/migrations/pmpl-to-mpl-sweep-runbook.adoc §7a · policy 3-practice/LICENCE-POLICY.adoc Rules 1–2 · precedent hyperpolymath/iseriser PR #106.

…anonical (standards#645 §7a source fix)

Runbook docs/migrations/pmpl-to-mpl-sweep-runbook.adoc §7a: fix at the
source, then re-propagate, then clean residue. This commit is the source
fix for the five template/config surfaces in this repo that propagate the
'License: PMPL-1.0-or-later' body line estate-wide:

- llm-warmup-dev.adoc / llm-warmup-user.adoc (line 17; matches iseriser's
  already-canonical form)
- QUICKSTART-MAINTAINER.adoc (line 109)
- ABI-FFI-README.adoc (template License section)
- stapeln.toml (license field; consumed by monorepo container builds)
- www/.well-known/humans.txt (template licence line)

LICENCE-POLICY Rule 1 (MPL-2.0/CC-BY-SA-4.0 default) + Rule 2 (developer-
ecosystem absent from the PMPL register). Propagated instances inside this
monorepo (iser-tools/*, v-ecosystem/* and the remaining body-text matches)
are residue: left for re-propagation + per-category residue cleanup, per
the runbook's ordering, and excluded carve-outs per §1/§3.
