kb: bootstrap foundation + jazz guitar gold standard
SCHEMA.md authoring contract, validate-kb.mjs quality gate (pitch-class verification of shapes against chord qualities), registry, and the jazz style: 5 progressions x 2 guitar plays (shells + drop-2), comping rhythms, improv guidance, sourced licks. Validator and vite build green. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
