Specify the §7 "Partner / consultant network" compensation mechanism: a maker
may pay a partner a negotiated, front-loaded/tapering share of its *earned*
referral income (curator credits) for storefront stand-up + network onboarding,
with negotiation tooling. Rides existing invariants — principal-on-both-sides
(out of flow), a fourth consumer of the Phase-2 cashable rail, stateful
cumulative-tier settlement (Appendix C.5 pattern), and the curation-integrity
guardrail (no say in whom the maker vouches for). Reflect in §12 unit economics
as maker-borne activation cost / referral-activation driver, not a platform line.
