Business Viability Kit: discovery-phase operating artifacts
Saves the DEALIX_BUSINESS_VIABILITY_KIT.md (Weeks 4-12 customer discovery
operating manual) and produces only the operational artifacts it explicitly
names. Per the kit's Appendix C: no new plan documents, no Wave A-E work,
no features without customer pull.

Added:
  Customer Viability operating artifacts
    - docs/customer_learnings/hypotheses.yaml - 12 hypotheses tracked
      to SUPPORTED/FALSIFIED/AMBIGUOUS with interview-log citations
    - docs/customer_learnings/interviews/_template_ar.md - 45-min Arabic
      discovery script + post-call log schema
    - docs/customer_learnings/interviews/_template_en.md - English version
    - docs/customer_learnings/founder_dashboard.md - weekly Monday printable
      dashboard (kit Sec 8)
    - docs/customer_learnings/pricing_discovery.md - Van Westendorp PSM +
      value-based sanity check + A/B model matrix
    - docs/customer_learnings/unit_economics.md - per-customer economics,
      LTV/CAC ratios, 12-month scenario template
    - docs/customer_learnings/defensibility_scorecard.md - 5 moats x 2
      questions, quarterly re-measurement

  Registry updates
    - docs/registry/TRUTH.yaml customer_validation section: hypothesis
      counters + discovery-interview counter + kit reference
    - docs/customer_learnings/README.md updated to link new artifacts

Gates after change:
  architecture_brief.py       40/40
  release_readiness_matrix  102/102  (added 8 new BVK artifact checks)
  v005_truth_registry_audit   19/19 SUPPORTED

Agent scope going forward per kit Appendix C: customer-surfaced P0 defects,
UX polish appearing in 2+ interviews, perf issues on staging, pentest
remediations. No new plans. No Wave tasks.

# 12 Business Viability Hypotheses
#
# Each hypothesis MUST reach verdict by Week 12: SUPPORTED, FALSIFIED, or AMBIGUOUS.
# Edited only after customer interactions — never from founder intuition alone.
#
# Rule: an interview log in docs/customer_learnings/interviews/ must be cited
# as evidence for every status change.
