PRESERVATION PROTOCOLS
----------------------
To ensure archival stability:
- Store all files in a secure, redundant location (cloud + local backup).
- Do not rename files or alter their internal structure.
- Keep original ZIP archives intact; create a separate workspace for extracted files.
- When sharing, transmit only through encrypted or approved channels.
- Treat all relics as non-reproducible originals.

VERSION & CHANGE LOG
--------------------
This is Participant Kit Version 1.0. Any updates will be announced via official Yellowfield channels.

FINAL NOTES
-----------
Proceed with curiosity, caution, and respect. Every detail matters. Every artifact tells part of the story.
