Module lifecycle 

Actor lifecycle operations — freeze, unfreeze, terminate.

Covers: PIP-001 §7 (agent conditional existence), §5/§6 (actor types), whitepaper §3 invariant 6 (governance auditable).

PIP-001 §5/§6: Only humans create agents. Agents cannot manage other agents. §6 corollary: Orphan problem eliminated (human creators cannot be terminated).

Lifecycle operations are triggered by submitting actions with: target = “actor/{actor_id}” action_type = Mutate payload.op = “freeze” | “unfreeze” | “terminate”
