profile/README: founder welcome on-ramp (replaces Package 3 paragraph) (#7)
* profile/README: replace Package 3 paragraph with founder welcome on-ramp Replaces the "Public Research Observatory Blueprint" section with a warm, near-first-person Welcome from the founders. The intent is a softer first- contact landing for visitors arriving at github.com/Panta-Rhei-Research: - States who built this and why, in two voices ("we" + signed names). - Routes first-time visitors directly to the public Discussions board as the easiest on-ramp. - Lists the three contributor-facing routes (issues, PRs, email) with emoji bullets matching doctrine §7.1 (🐛 defects, 🔁 changes, 📬 contact). - Preserves the locked engagement-without-endorsement signal inline: "Participation does not imply endorsement." - Signs off as "— Thorsten & Anna-Sophie" to anchor the founder voice. The Package 3 references (Public Research Observatory white paper, Newsroom brief, Inspection Observatory page) are retained in a footnote-style blockquote at the end of the Welcome, so they remain one click away without occupying the first-contact load-bearing paragraph. Org-profile-specific change: only `profile/README.md` is edited. The root `README.md` of the .github repo serves a different purpose (repo-self- description) and does not carry the founder welcome — synchronization rule in doctrine §11.2 covers canonical statement and v4 vocabulary, not the profile's first-contact greeting. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * profile/README: trim white-paper footnote — drop press-kit framing Per user feedback, the post-Welcome blockquote should keep the white paper link only and lose the Newsroom brief + Inspection Observatory page links. Those latter two carried media-kit / press-briefing flavoring that doesn't belong on the org-page first-contact greeting. Reframed from "documented separately in [three links]" to a friendlier single pointer: "If you'd like a sense of how this is set up, the white paper *Building a Public Research Observatory* walks through the architecture." Sentence order on the GitHub-doesn't-validate disclaimer flipped so the substantive sentence carries the disclaimer (carries source + formalization + conversation; does not validate). Net change: -2 links, +friendlier framing, same disclaimer.

Package 3 documents the implementation architecture behind this organization and the public website:

We — Thorsten and Anna-Sophie — built this organization as the public substrate for the program. The website at [panta-rhei.site](https://panta-rhei.site) is the research observatory; this GitHub org is where the source, formalization, artifacts, and conversation happen in the open.

If you've found your way here, the easiest first move is the [public Discussions board](https://github.com/orgs/Panta-Rhei-Research/discussions) — ask anything, including hard or critical questions. We read what gets posted there.

The blueprint describes GitHub as a source, discussion, correction, and contribution substrate. It does not imply that GitHub, the website architecture, or any infrastructure provider validates the scientific theory.

For more concrete engagement:
14+
15+
- 🐛 **Found a defect or have a correction to suggest?** Open an issue on the relevant repo (`site`, `taulib`, `publications`, `research`, or `community`).
16+
- 🔁 **Want to propose a change?** Open a pull request against the relevant repo.
17+
- 📬 **Private, institutional, media, or sensitive contact?** Email [`hello@panta-rhei.site`](mailto:hello@panta-rhei.site).
18+
19+
You don't need to agree with the framework to engage — curiosity, scrutiny, or pure skepticism are equally good reasons to be here. *Participation does not imply endorsement.*
