docs: name OHM as the corpus, "Human" as the first RFC
Reframe the Open Human Model in SPEC.md and PHILOSOPHY.md from "the first RFC the framework will produce" to "the corpus of RFCs the framework produces, of which the first defines *human*." Earlier phrasing collapsed the project (OHM) and the first entry into one name; this teases them apart. Also surface the OpenXML APIs / UX downstream-consumer point: OHM is English-first by design — the markdown bodies are canonical, and the structured artifacts downstream systems need to actually let humans and machines interact are derived from that English source, not authored alongside it. This is part of why markdown round-trip fidelity matters structurally (cf. the Phase 1 CM6 swap). Updates the obvious example renames — slug `open-human-model` → `human`, title "Open Human Model" → "Human", PR-list / breadcrumb / notification examples — so the SPEC's worked-example consistently shows OHM-as-corpus with Human as a member. Test fixtures and the README seed-script invocation still carry the old slug; those are left for a separate pass. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
