culture(germany): migrate hofstede_bag -> khai_lexicon (v1 -> v2 schema)

[ChBrain]

First country migration from the v1 hofstede_bag.yaml schema to the v2 khai_lexicon.yaml schema. Framework unchanged (Hofstede 6D, ±5 band). Sets the pattern for Austria, Switzerland, and the other 11 unmigrated cultures.

What changed

Before	After
regions/europe/germany/hofstede_bag.yaml	→ khai_lexicon.yaml
regions/europe/germany/hofstede_decisions.md	→ khai_lexicon_decisions.md
culture_german_position.md frontmatter: hofstede: aggregate	→ markers: aggregate

Schema deltas in the YAML

v1	v2
country: germany + parent: null	subject: germany + region: europe + subregion: germany
hofstede_scores:	marker_scores:
—	khai_lexicon_version: 1, marker_set: hofstede

The denylist and the six bags (PDI / IDV / UAI / MAS / LTO / IND, each with high/low) carry over verbatim. The framework calls Hofstede one possible marker_set: now so other measurement frameworks can plug into the same lexicon shape later, but the dimension semantics and the scoring scale are unchanged.

Scores

Unchanged. Identical to data/hofstede_scores.json (the fixed target):

PDI 35 · IDV 67 · UAI 65 · MAS 66 · LTO 83 · IND 40

Score-validity re-check

Per the brownfield contract: touching culture_german_position.md (frontmatter swap) triggers a re-read of the position file against the declared marker_scores. The check ran via test_marker_derived.py::test_derived_within_tolerance[germany] and passes — the position file's current voice still lands within ±5 on every dimension. Outcome recorded in khai_lexicon_decisions.md under "v1 -> v2 schema migration".

No score adjustments were needed. Had any dimension fallen out of the ±5 band, the content would have been adjusted to hit the fixed target — never the other way around.

Verification

• python tests/branch_scope.py advise → all three files route to culture/germany (base culture/release) ✅
• python tests/validate_pr_brownfield.py origin/culture/release → "Touched files are migration-current" ✅
• pytest tests/test_marker_derived.py -k germany → 2/2 pass ✅
• Pre-commit hook clean, no --no-verify ✅

Unblocks

• PR culture(europe): bake DACH group membership into member positions #564 (DACH baking on culture/europe): once Austria and Switzerland are migrated the same way, the brownfield R3 gate stops firing on the three DACH position files there.
• Establishes the migration template for the 11 other v1 cultures (austria, switzerland, denmark, france, netherlands, poland, spain, japan, singapore, australia, mexico, united_states, nigeria).

Follow-up not in this PR

Several test/script files still carry the hofstede_* filename even though the abstraction has moved to marker_*. They should be renamed in a governance PR:

• scripts/update_hofstede_readme.py
• tests/test_hofstede_bag_loader.py, test_hofstede_bag_fork.py, test_hofstede_bag_locked.py, test_hofstede_bag_quality.py, test_hofstede_bag_shape.py, test_hofstede_score_home.py, test_hofstede_reference.py, test_hofstede_structure.py, test_update_hofstede_readme.py

tests/test_marker_derived.py is the precedent: same logic, abstract name, drives the ±5 band check this PR depends on.

Ref: #564, #545

CI gap closed — Position rules

khai - Position rules failed because khai-tests==0.1.19 requires every khai file to open with a ## Title chapter (the "TO pair": Title + Owner). engine/wow/position_technicians.md already carries it; existing culture position files don't.

Fix (d22b11d): Added

## Title
German

between the L1 # Position: German and ## Owner in culture_german_position.md.

Verification

Gate	Result
khai_tests.components.test_khai_position (the failing one)	6/6 pass ✅
test_marker_derived.py[germany] band check	2/2 pass — text addition doesn't fire any bag word, scores stay in ±5 ✅
validate_pr_brownfield.py	still clean ✅

Learning carried to Austria + Switzerland

When their migration PRs land, they get the same chapter (## Title\n<Adjective>\n) added in the same spot. Bake it into the per-country PR scope instead of opening a separate region-spanning cleanup.

Notes for the broader fleet

This pattern (## Title between L1 and ## Owner) needs to land in every culture position file eventually — UK lacks it too, but its PR isn't open, so the position-rules check doesn't fire on it. The remaining 11 unmigrated cultures will get it as part of their own migrations under the same brownfield contract.
