Release bump for 0.72.0 (06x release schedule §4.2): bump-version.sh 0.72.0 across every workspace, both Cargo.lock files synced (so package_tarball_build leaves the tree clean), the CRUX prompt certification carried from 0.71.3, and the CHANGELOG section below.

Size: the bump is mechanical. 212+/212- are version strings and lockfile entries; the CHANGELOG adds 160 lines; evidence/crux/0.72.0/ is the carried certification inventory (about 9,000 generated lines). This is over the 400-line PR cap by construction.

README hand-check: README.md has no version or crate/contract count literals; readme_contract passes (17/17). The pv README step lands for 0.73.0.

When this merges, scripts/release/autopilot.sh runs the rest of the train, fail-closed (APR-RELEASE-001 §4).

Release commit-range: v0.71.4..a781138 (250 non-merge commits). Entries are commit subjects.

§13.11 rung 1 — quorum shadow verdict

Shadow mode: this records a verdict and merges nothing. A refusal
