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.

# MyMistakes — failure log + recipes
## Recipes (grep here FIRST)
<How-tos and workarounds, with verbatim commands. A solution recorded once ends the loop;
an un-recorded one guarantees the same wall twice.>
### <Recipe name>
```bash
<exact commands>
```
Traps: <the two or three things that actually go wrong>.
## Failure log (newest first)
### <YYYY-MM-DD> — <symptom in six words>
- **Symptom:** <what was observed>
- **Wrong guess:** <what was tried, and why it looked right>
- **Actual cause:** <the mechanism>
- **Rule now:** <what prevents the repeat — and where it is written down>
