zeekayandHanzo Dev 638fba4c90 Publish under the org, not a person
Bylines, paper authorship, correspondence addresses and the founder blurb under
each post named an individual. They name the organisation that published the
work instead: the brand on posts and pages, the research byline on papers, and
research@ in place of a personal address. Both are what these repositories
already used elsewhere — nothing new was coined.

Co-authors are untouched. Where a paper named someone else alongside, they stay
named; only the one byline changed. Bibliography entries, running heads,
PDF metadata and affiliations move with it, so a citation still resolves to
whoever the cited paper names.

Sample and fixture data uses the placeholder name these tests already use
elsewhere, so no assertion changed meaning.

Validator Economics and Slashing
Staking economics for Lux validators. Stake-weighted voting.
Slashing for provable misbehavior.
Maps to:
- lux/node/vms/platformvm: validator staking
- lux/consensus: stake-weighted BFT
- HIP-0024: Hanzo L1 validator requirements
Properties:
- Stake-weighted: voting power ∝ stake
- Slashing is loss-bounded: cannot lose more than stake
- Honest validators are never slashed (safety)
- Minimum stake enforced
