Restructure the incubation into two extensions plus interchangeable data-labelling schemes, shipped as a stack of three PRs: - This PR (base): shared scaffolding + the trust-annotations extension. - action-metadata moves to its own stacked PR. - The IFC/FIDES work moves out of specification/draft/ entirely — it is one data-labelling scheme (ifc.fides.v1) that fills the trust-annotations evidenceRef slot, not an extension and not a sibling. It lands in a schemes/ folder built to hold alternative approaches (data-class, capability tokens, cosigning, sequence-shape, attestation) so no single academic model is baked into the wire. README, sep-disposition, related-work, trust-model, open-questions and the decision log are reframed accordingly (two extensions + a schemes folder; the range of candidate schemes drawn from the SEP-1913 thread and cited literature).

Adjacent community proposals (from the SEP-1913 thread)
- SINT Protocol (capability-token constraint enforcement) — pshkv.
- in-toto attestations as a trust-annotation substrate.
- OVERT 1.0 envelope shape for runtime evidence.

- Sequence-shape policies — marras0914.
These are exactly the models that evidenceRef's open type is designed to
accommodate as schemes — see schemes/.
