Contribution and update model

Registry first, operational watch second.

The Observatory starts from a curated public registry. New sources belong in the registry only after scope, authority, cadence and evidence value are clear; watch items then reference those sources for review planning.

Roadmap queue
Source registry

Official and standards-oriented sources grouped for review.

The registry stays secondary to the board, but every watch item points back to these public sources and their review cadence.
