RAC 2026.06.5 - the "rename" release

[tcballard]

The release that renames the package to match the project. The PyPI distribution
is now rac-core (was requirements-as-code) — the import package rac and
the rac CLI are unchanged, so existing code, scripts, and CI keep working
untouched. Around the rename, this cut lands the first wave of enterprise-adoption
features: every one is opt-in and default-off, and RAC stays offline,
deterministic, and content-free unless you turn something on.

• A package name that matches the project. pip install rac-core is now the
  canonical install (ADR-092). Nothing else moves — import rac and the rac
  command are identical, and pinned requirements-as-code== installs still
  resolve to their historical releases. The old name keeps working through a
  one-time redirect package that simply depends on rac-core.

• A provable air-gap switch. rac telemetry off --enterprise forces the
  anonymous-ping kill state at runtime, refuses rac telemetry on while locked,
  and reports locked (enterprise) in rac telemetry status — reversible only by
  the explicit rac telemetry off --enterprise --unlock. The no-egress posture is
  now consolidated and citable (ADR-086).

• A read-access audit trail. An opt-in, local-only recorder logs who consulted
  which decision, when, and which artifact IDs came back — the half of the audit
  story git history never tells. Turned on by an audit: stanza in
  .rac/config.yaml (enabled, path, on_write_error), with
  RAC_AUDIT_PATH / RAC_AUDIT_PRINCIPAL overrides. It records IDs and query
  arguments only — never artifact bodies — to local JSONL, imports no network
  code, and is fail-loud. With no audit: stanza (the default) nothing is written
  and the content-free guarantee is byte-for-byte intact (ADR-084).

• External ticket links. A ## Related Tickets relationship section ties an
  artifact to the tickets it traces to. The provider is per-repo config —
  rac init --ticketing <jira|github|linear|azure-devops|servicenow|none> — and
  rac validate format-lints entries against it offline. The edges surface in
  rac export --graph marked external; existence and state checks live in backend
  connectors, not the engine (ADR-087).

• One-command setup profiles. rac init --profile <default|enterprise>
  scaffolds a named bundle of repository config — severity overrides, enforcement
  policy, telemetry posture, ticketing — instead of hand-wiring .rac/config.yaml,
  and reports the files it wrote. A profile only sets knobs that already exist; it
  adds no runtime mode (ADR-088).

• Decision capture by interview. A new rac-capture skill walks a
  conversation into one valid artifact through the two-gate write model — you
  ratify, rac validate closes, and promotion is by reviewed pull request
  (ADR-077).

• Wayfinder is now its own product. The prompt-complexity router moved out to
  wayfinder-router (ADR-069/070); its subtree is removed from this repository.
