feat: Shadow Spec + Convergence Broadcasts + Kiloagent Mode (v2.0.0)

- Shadow Spec: 3 hidden quality criteria scored by a Shadow Judge per round.
  Divergence detection catches gaming. Shadow Analysis revealed after podium.
- Convergence Broadcasts: structured knowledge bridge between tournament rounds.
  Replaces simple Evolution Brief with tiered mustKnow + fullBriefing packets.
- Kiloagent Mode: 1,000-agent deep execution via Century Cell architecture.
  Trigger: 'run kiloagent' / 'go deep' / '1000 agents'.
  10 cells × 100 agents, two-wave execution, canary probes, context genome.
- New SQL tables: hackathon_shadow_scores, hackathon_convergence_broadcasts.
- SKILL.md: 568 → 715 lines. Version 1.3.0 → 2.0.0.

+## Kiloagent Mode
+
+**Trigger:** User says "kiloagent", "thousand agents", "go deep", "1000 agents", or "kilo".
+
+Kiloagent Mode replaces the standard tournament with a **1,000-agent deep execution** using the Century Cell architecture. It's designed for large, decomposable tasks that benefit from massive parallelism.
+
+**When to use:** Complex builds, full codebase audits, comprehensive research, multi-domain architecture design. NOT for simple tasks (use Classic) or model comparison (use Tournament).
+
+### Architecture: 10 Century Cells × 100 agents = 1,000
+
+```
+Century Cell (100 agents):
+├── 1 Referee        (general-purpose, Opus)     — synthesis + failure absorption
+├── 9 Pod Leads      (general-purpose, Sonnet)   — decompose + orchestrate
+└── 90 Leaf Workers  (mixed types)               — atomic execution
+    └── Per Pod (10 leaves):
+        ├── 5 Scouts       (explore, Haiku)      — research, extract
+        ├── 2 Executors    (task, GPT-Mini)       — run commands, validate
+        ├── 1 Specialist   (general-purpose)      — solve hard sub-problems
+        ├── 1 Canary       (explore, Haiku)       — known-answer quality probe
+        └── 1 Shadow Judge (code-review, Sonnet)  — hidden rubric scorer
+```
+
+### Execution Flow
+
+1. **CB-0 (Initial Broadcast):** Orchestrator decomposes the problem into 10 cell missions + global rubric + shadow spec.
+2. **Wave 1 (Cells 1-5, 500 agents):** Launch 5 cells in parallel. Each cell runs: Pod Leads → Workers (with canaries + shadow judges) → Referee synthesis.
+3. **CB-1 (Mid-Point Convergence):** Cell-5 Referee (Opus 1M) reads ALL Wave 1 outputs. Produces tiered context packets:
+   - `mustKnow` ≤2K tokens → injected into all Wave 2 workers
+   - `analystBrief` ≤8K → Pod Leads
+   - `refereeBrief` ≤16K → Referees
+   - `shadowBrief` (sealed) → Referees only (canary accuracy, shadow divergence)
+4. **Wave 2 (Cells 6-10, 500 agents):** Same structure, but every agent receives CB-1. Wave 2 stands on Wave 1's shoulders.
+5. **CB-FINAL (Grand Synthesis):** Cell-10 Referee (Opus 1M) reads all 10 cells. Produces final merged output.
+6. **Shadow Quality Report:** Aggregate canary accuracy + shadow divergence across all 1,000 agents. Flag quality issues.
+
+### Key Mechanisms
+
+- **Context Genome:** Each leaf agent gets a unique combination of context capsules (hash-based, Jaccard-diversity-maximized). No two agents see identical context.
+- **Referee Takeover:** When a leaf fails, the cell Referee absorbs its work. Zero extra agents.
+- **Compression Ladder:** Raw → Facts → Capsules → Canon → CB. Each stage denser.
+- **Canary Probes:** 1 per pod (90 total) — known-answer tasks measuring quality at depth.
+- **Shadow Judges:** 1 per pod (90 total) — score pod-mates against hidden criteria.
+
+### Kiloagent Phase Mapping
+
+| Standard Phase | Kiloagent Equivalent |
+|---|---|
+| Phase 0 — Meta-Learning | Same (show leaderboard) |
+| Phase 1 — Challenge | Same (understand task), then jump to Kiloagent flow |
+| Phase 2 — Scoring | Orchestrator defines public rubric + shadow spec |
+| Phase 3 — Deploy | CB-0 → Wave 1 (500 agents) → CB-1 → Wave 2 (500 agents) |
+| Phase 4 — Judge | Shadow Judges embedded in every pod + Referee meta-shadow |
+| Phase 5 — Winner | CB-FINAL grand synthesis + shadow quality report |
+| Phase 6 — Merge | Already merged via Convergence Broadcasts |
+| Phase 7 — ELO | Update ELO for all 19 models based on cell performance |
+| Phase 8 — Closing | Standard ceremony with Kiloagent stats (agents run, canary accuracy, coverage) |
+
+### Commentary Lines (Kiloagent-specific)
+- Wave launch: `"🌊 Wave 1 deployed! 500 agents hitting the reef..."`
+- CB build: `"📡 Convergence Broadcast transmitting... Wave 2 inherits Wave 1's wisdom."`
+- Canary report: `"🐤 Canary accuracy: {N}% — quality holding at depth {D}."`
+- Shadow reveal: `"🔍 Shadow Spec: {N} divergences detected across {M} pods."`
+- Final: `"🪸 The reef is complete. 1,000 agents. {N} insights crystallized. GG."`
