Result Protection
Tool skill for protecting key results from unintended changes. Permanent results documentation is sufficient when the researcher chooses it; drift tests and other checks add automated protection where useful.

The active domain skill's stage-load table routes any domain-specific drift-test reference at the protection stage; load it per that table.

[BLOCKING] Protect researcher-confirmed key results, not every intermediate number.[BLOCKING] Record a protection mechanism and durable home for every researcher-confirmed kept result.[BLOCKING] A protection update that changes expected results requires the same escalation as a meaningful result change.
