gramps b5e3dbe614 Seed an AI-legible project memory map that stays small
One file (AGENTS.md) that bootstraps the rest: rules, the file map to create,
what belongs in each file, the first-session interview order, and the list of
anti-patterns that killed the previous map (1,308-line guide, 63 task files,
narrative history inline, sessions skimming 56k tokens of context).

Separates four kinds of content by read frequency:
  rules/invariants  -> AGENTS.md          (every session)
  subsystem truth   -> docs/ai/<topic>.md (only the matching one)
  lookups           -> environment.md     (grepped, never read)
  retired decisions -> decisions.md       (only when re-opening one)

Caps are enforced, not promised: scripts/verify.sh checks doc budgets before
the build, so a commit that pads a capped file fails. Proven both ways — it
passes clean and exits 1 on an over-cap file.

scripts/scope-check.sh blocks edits outside the declared file list.
templates/ holds fill-in skeletons for the seven files a project must create.

CC0: copy it, rename it, sell it, no attribution needed.

# HANDOFF — <YYYY-MM-DD> (<one-line state>)
## State
- Branch `<branch>`, worktree <clean / N files dirty>, **<pushed|unpushed>** (`<last sha>`).
- In flight: <the unit that is partially done, if any — file names and what is left>.
## Next action
<The single next unit, one sentence on why it is next. Nothing else.>
## Landmines (live, not historical)
- <path / port / flaky test / do-not-touch rule — one line each, only what would bite today.>
## Pending the user
- <decision, hands-on check, or measurement that is blocked on them>
