Beneath the quiet — V2 groundwork begins

Even in the year when the commit graph looked silent, hands kept moving. On Aug 2, 2025, a commit landed: 'Added infrastructure for validator, api, and web app' — the starting point of the current three-layer V2 (CAW Protocol) architecture. Further back, Wayback preserves an early profile-based app running on caw.social — the capture is dated March 8, 2025, and the January reading comes from inside it: the profile images it saved carry filenames stamped 20250103, 20250104 and 20250112 (the one January capture of the domain is a 404, so it shows nothing running). Traces from January, archived in March (Observed — the code's origin is unidentified). The quiet year was not an empty one.
