Integrate the RATES token into the docs in two layers, mirroring USDX: - TLDR layer: stable-docs/rates.md, a standalone product-docs explainer of RATES (validator staking, first-loss safety module, governance, supply at a glance) for linking/sharing. - Full whitepaper layer: rates-whitepaper/ rendered page-per-section (overview, validator staking, safety module, governance, supply/ distribution/emissions, deferred topics) like the USDX whitepaper. Also fix a numeric inconsistency: USDX Appendix C stated the RATES supply asymptotes at ~2.64B; the emissions schedule (12% Y1, 0.88 decay) sums to exactly 1B emitted, capping supply at exactly 2.0B. Correct the text, figure caption, and alt text to 2.0B. Cross-link the USDX whitepaper's RATES references (Section 9 and Appendix C) to the new full RATES paper, and wire both new entries into SUMMARY.md.

The emissions_diagram.png shipped in the docs was a stale render: it labeled the supply asymptote ~2.64B and annotated "Year 10: 2.0B", both wrong. The emissions schedule (12% Y1, 0.88 decay, sum = 1B emitted on a 1B genesis) caps total supply at exactly 2.0B, with Year 10 supply = 1.72B — matching the published whitepaper's Figure 1. Regenerate the chart with correct data and the Stable brand palette (trystable.co/brand): dark-brown emission line (#413218), brand-gold cumulative line (#b38533), taupe asymptote (#7c6f58). Add the generator script (whitepaper-diagrams/gen_emissions_diagram.py) so the figure is reproducible. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
