Workspace

Noncanonical. "Workspace" has no architectural meaning in the Elonn platform — it is
not a layer, not a Placement type, and not a container. See
[layout.md](../canonical/layout.md).

Historically "workspace" named the transient result of the member's current intent
(search findings and the like). That content is now the Results pane: results
returned for a Call are Findings, presented in the Results pane (an interface structure
on Carry), and are not placed on any layer. An Object is placed on a layer only when it
is opened — on Carry unless explicitly placed on Field.

Where you would have said "compose into workspace", say "return as Findings in the
Results pane".

Forbidden:
- workspace as a layer or region
- workspace as a Placement type value (type: "workspace", "workspace placement")
- workspace object / workspace collection
- workspace as a replacement for "window"
