Tube Connector V1

implemented unverified

Branched hose connector: a barbed run with smooth branch spigots rooted in the stop flange — tee (one branch), cross (two) or ELBOW (one barbed bottom spigot, a capped crown, the water turns the corner; the blind run bore provably swallows the branch junction). X-branch barbs are a revolve the axis-aligned kernel cannot make, so branches take a hose clip. Straight runs and reducers ARE hose_adapter_v1 (showcase pack). Pressure honesty: gravity/siphon duty, never certified for pressurized lines (docs/CLAIMS.md).

Built from a real example — orbit to inspect.
