● Docent note — what this arc demonstrates

Twelve lessons: one diagnostic, then one per AIHC anchor from Specification through Regeneration. Every lesson is generated on Frank O.'s own real work — swap in another learner and the Do's and exit tickets change materially. Read straight through, or jump to any anchor. The arc ends in a learning ledger that tracks mastery by standard.
