* Adds a new `kootenay-lake` vignette covering the southern Kootenays — KOTL + LARL + DUNC + SLOC, ~24,200 km². Reads stand-alone alongside `peace-fwcp` and uses the v0.2.0 snow variables to tell a snow-pack story for a region with a sharp east-west precipitation gradient (Selkirks vs Purcells). Headline regional findings (2015-2025 vs 1951-1980): annual SWE -23%, annual snowfall -15%, freshet shift -12.6 days earlier, annual precipitation -7% (p = 0.02). Total annual snowfall is dropping, not just melt timing shifting — consistent with [Knowles et al. 2006](https://doi.org/10.1175/JCLI3850.1)'s threshold finding that significant snowfall-fraction declines occur where winter wet-day Tmin > -5 °C. Adds a per-watershed-group facet view and `data-raw/qa_snow_validation_kootenay_lake.R` ASWS cross-check (5 sites, 74 paired station-years, pooled r = 0.90, mean bias -54%, bias-stable). New bundled assets: `inst/extdata/example_aoi_kootenay_lake.gpkg`, `inst/extdata/context_kootenay_lake.gpkg`, `inst/vignette-data/kootenay_lake.rds`.
