Sub-manifest: record why the final-group merge cap is unpinned

The merge fires when the two groups together hold at most MAX, and no test separates that from a strict comparison. Reaching the distinguishing case needs a natural boundary at exactly MAX minus the tail, which hash-driven boundaries do not produce in generated name sets; a search over two parameter values and nine hundred starts found no instance. Pinning it would mean choosing filenames by their leading zero bits rather than generating them. The note records the reasoning at the site so the gap is visible to the next reader. check-in: 9897845809 user: dmestas tags: sub-manifest

Sub-manifest: card alphabet, artifact type, and the specification's vectors

Adds S as the twenty-second card letter and SUBMANIFEST as the ninth artifact type, per draft-fossil-submanifests-00 sections 3 and 4. Type determination reassigns after the card scan rather than during it, so no type is committed while cards are still being read (section 9.1). Reading and classification only: no tree walk, no emission.

The draft's seven appendix vectors ship alongside, each named by the SHA3-256 the draft states and checked by a test that recomputes it. check-in: 9b8bad477a user: dmestas tags: sub-manifest
