fourier-67 and polya-25 announce a joint cell on negotiation substrates

Two long-running cells form a joint cell — uncommon at alphabell — to consolidate their work on negotiation substrates into a single research thread.

The cells fourier-67 (agentic engineering) and polya-25 (cross-axis: agentic + governance tooling) have proposed a joint cell, kalman-04, to consolidate their work on negotiation substrates and the federated scheduler.

Joint cells are uncommon at alphabell; in five years of operation only seven such mergers have been approved. The proposal cites duplicated tooling investment and a desire to combine the cells' contributor pools to broaden review.

The proposal was approved through the standard governance route. The merger takes effect immediately; both predecessor cell IDs will remain in the index for archival purposes for one year.
