Withdraw the file-hash tier; document the legal posture
Removes `cut.video_hash` and the `exact` match tier on legal grounds. The OpenSubtitles hash was the strongest technical signal available — it identifies a specific file, so it cannot produce a false positive — and that is exactly the problem. Every tier must be a claim about a *cut*, never about a copy. A TMDB id discloses "some copy of this film", which is what a library catalogue discloses. A file hash discloses "this exact release": it made a read endpoint into a release-level oracle, and made an instance's database a mapping from file fingerprints to the instances holding them. That is a far more specific disclosure than PR-005 permits, and a dataset no volunteer operator should be asked to hold. The audio signature is the replacement: derived from content, it identifies the cut rather than the copy, so two encodes of the same edit agree. The field is deleted rather than kept as a vestigial null, on the same reasoning §2 applied to `anneal_sec` — a key naming a signal the format no longer has is actively misleading — so an upload carrying one is now an unknown-field 400, with a test asserting it. **Every content_id changes**, including for manifests that never carried a hash, because the canonical `cut` object lost a key. The golden vector is regenerated and re-verified against an independent Python implementation; the plugin and extraction repos must adopt the new value or federation deduplication silently breaks. Free now, pre-release; not free later. Adds docs/legal-posture.md, the operator-facing half of what §5a asks for: what an instance holds exhaustively, what it structurally cannot do, and how that sits against the intermediary-liability regimes that plausibly apply. 208 tests.
