Why:
Make independent version consumption work from ordinary clones while retaining historical commits and existing branch workspaces.
Evidence:
SELF Dev task receipts record 24 CI boundary cases, all workflow syntax checks, readonly private-source prefetch in clean exports, provider tests and package installation without acquisition scripts. Platform CI remains pending.
Impact:
Remove only replaced index links, preserve old physical checkouts, and update dependency guidance. Library consumers retain their immutable versions until an explicit dependency update.
Refs:
Agent-System-Dev feature/dependency-workspace; approved versioned-dependency r1, U3-U7 and R15.
Why: Allow consumers to download an immutable module revision without nested source checkouts or local path replacements.
Evidence: SELF package tests and the prior canonical-path rejection are recorded in the Dev dependency-workspace task card; remote consumption is replayed against the committed candidate.
Impact: Change the module identity and its Go imports while preserving API behavior. Existing historical submodule revisions remain buildable.

The guidelines submodule records the reviewed commit so project rules stay discoverable without copying them into this repository.
