HADS Framework V7.7.4a / Hardware Translation Protocol V3.01: Companion Stage-Gate Update to the V7.7.3 Baseline

This release is a claim-controlled V14 companion update to the established HADS Framework V7.7.3 public baseline. It does not replace or deprecate the V13 baseline. Instead, it adds a PRL-style companion manuscript and a hardware translation protocol for future Stage-Gate testing. The package contains: PRL Manuscript V7.7.4a: A Minimal Isomorphism Criterion and Hardware Translation Boundary for topological analog tests of emergent dark-sector dynamics. HADS Hardware Translation Protocol V3.01 Prerelease 3.2: A German-language Stage-Gate specification for future photonic / fused-silica hardware telemetry, including a quantitative PASS/FAIL gate matrix. Public Zenodo metadata: README, changelog, and manifest with path-aware file indexing. Scope and claim boundary: This release does not claim a completed 5D fused-silica computer, completed hardware validation, achieved Zero Waste Heat, absolute topological stability, replacement of ΛCDM, or ontological equivalence between a laboratory platform and the cosmos. Zero Waste Heat is treated as an asymptotic thermal reference, not as an achieved laboratory state. A PASS in future hardware testing means only that a specific hardware instantiation passes a defined test within a pre-registered parameter and tolerance window. A FAIL falsifies the corresponding hardware instantiation, gate configuration, or tolerance assumption. It does not automatically falsify the entire HADS framework. The purpose of this V14 companion layer is to preserve the V7.7.3 baseline while adding a controlled bridge toward future hardware translation and laboratory falsification.
