Records the rigorous aroma attempt and the honest negative result: the only commercially-clean odor-descriptor set (keller_2016, CC-BY) was aggregated and trained per-descriptor — all 20 scored CV-R² ≤ 0 (5-fold). Root cause: naive-subject ratings are too noisy; the learnable expert-labeled data is all restricted. Decision: defer aroma, keep the OpenPOM scaffold for licensed/customer data, lead with taste. Adds the attempt scripts, docs/AROMA.md, and the keller_2016 attribution.

Document the rigorous attempt and honest negative result: aggregated the only
commercially-clean odor-descriptor set (keller_2016, CC-BY) and trained per-descriptor
RandomForest regressors — all 20 scored CV-R2 <= 0 (5-fold CV). Root cause: naive-subject
ratings are too noisy; the learnable (expert-labeled) odor data is all restricted.
Decision: defer aroma, keep the OpenPOM scaffold for licensed/customer data, lead with
taste. Adds the attempt scripts (build_aroma_dataset.py, train_aroma.py), docs/AROMA.md,
and the keller_2016 (Keller & Vosshall 2016) attribution.
