Task 529: Ship-Kestrel Content Validation Expansion

Status: DONE

Summary

Ship-kestrel.md has 13 assertions in its main content validation block — roughly half the coverage of peer summaries (21-24). Add cross-checks for thrust gap, Isp, propellant budget, and power values.

Tests to Add

Additional content cross-checks (~8 assertions)

• 160x acceleration gap (0.021g vs required) cited
• Total ΔV budget ~36,156 km/s cited
• Isp = 10⁶ s cited
• Propellant margin 53% with high Isp scenario
• Exhaust velocity 9,807 km/s and 49,033 km/s (two Isp scenarios)
• Tsiolkovsky equation referenced
• Structural mass 60t threshold
• 0.46 kg/s fuel consumption rate

Impact

Brings ship-kestrel.md content validation to ~21 assertions, matching peer summaries.
