The Profile (at-a-glance) header + required Status field is gate-tested
(test-compose-status-drift) but was documented only in CLAUDE.md/AGENTS.md
(the agent guide) — the human-contributor surfaces never stated it, so a
submission could omit Status and only fail in CI. Surface the requirement
(link, don't duplicate the schema) on every path:
- CONTRIBUTING: new "Profile header on every compose" rule next to one-per-PR.
- PR template: a "Profile header complete" checkbox for compose PRs.
- ADDING_MODELS Step 3: a "Profile header (mandatory)" subsection.
- BRING_YOUR_OWN §4: a header bullet for contributed composes.
Also reciprocal-link the two onboarding docs: ADDING_MODELS now points paths
1-2 (serve/tune/validate without the catalog) to BRING_YOUR_OWN, framing
itself as the promotion step after a config validates there.
