veronica f0d2dd9920 docs(W4): stamp kind and status front matter on 104 live documents
Applies the document contract from
docs/plans/2026-08-20_stack-docs-flatten-and-alignment.md section 3, partially:
`kind` and `status` only. `parent` is deliberately held until the flatten in
section 4 lands, so that 127 documents do not have to be re-pointed by hand
when docs/fleet/NORTH_STAR.yaml moves to docs/NORTH_STAR.yaml.

Scope, measured on origin/next at 63069149:

  127 live docs   = all *.md under docs/ minus docs/archive/ minus docs/_old_structure/
  104 stamped     here
   19 held        operator judgement (plan section 9), worklist in the same PR
    3 held        the SUPERSEDED TASKS.md stamps, which cite the moving path
    1 untouched   docs/fleet/FLEET-DOCTRINE.md, already stamped in W1

Kinds applied: 54 guide, 34 record, 9 spec, 6 tracking, 1 projection.
Every row carries a confidence and a one-line rationale in the worklist.

Two collisions with the existing state, both flagged rather than resolved:

1. docs/README.md:150-160 already documents a front-matter convention
   (title/type/audience/status/source_of_truth) with its own allowed values.
   It is applied to 4 of 127 files. Its `status` vocabulary is
   current|draft|deprecated|historical; the new contract's is active|superseded-by.
   The key collides. This commit lets the new contract win and rewrites
   `status: current` to `status: active` on those 4 files, keeping their other
   legacy keys untouched. No code reads any of them: `git grep source_of_truth`
   outside docs/ returns nothing. docs/README.md still prescribes the old
   convention and is an operator row, so it is not edited here.

2. Two of the plan's 20 operator rows are YAML files, not markdown
   (docs/fleet/examples/roster-v2.yaml, docs/openapi-tess.yaml), and the
   contract's front-matter form has no defined meaning for a .yaml document.
   That gap also applies to docs/fleet/NORTH_STAR.yaml, the source of truth
   itself. Raised in the worklist.

A third row from the plan, docs/fleet/north-star.md, no longer exists: W1
renamed it to docs/fleet/FLEET-DOCTRINE.md.

Verification: 104/104 parse with the expected kind and status in front matter;
the check was shown to reject a wrong kind before it was trusted. The diff
removes 4 lines total, all of them `status: current`.

# User Guide
> **Status:** Partially migrated. The quickstart, web-dashboard reference, and Discord conversation workflow are current.
This book is the canonical home for end-user workflows, user-visible behavior, product concepts, and user troubleshooting. Keep installation, deployment, security controls, and recovery procedures in [`ADMIN-GUIDE/`](../ADMIN-GUIDE/); keep implementation detail in [`DEVELOPER-GUIDE/`](../DEVELOPER-GUIDE/).
## Start here
- [Documentation atlas](../README.md) — placement rules and source-of-truth boundaries.
- [Documentation sitemap](../SITEMAP.md) — resolvable current navigation and authority-gated migration summary.
- [Quickstart](getting-started/quickstart.md) — install Mosaic, complete setup, and launch a session.
- [Web dashboard](product/web-dashboard.md) — current routes, navigation, chat persistence, projects/tasks views, settings, and admin behavior.
- [Discord conversations](workflows/discord-conversations.md) — current authorized parent-channel, thread, attachment, and control workflow.
## Chapter map
| Chapter | Scope | Status |
| ------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------- |
| `getting-started/` | First-use setup, orientation, and quickstarts. | Quickstart is current; additional pages are planned. |
| `concepts/` | User-facing terminology, product concepts, and mental models. | Scaffold only. |
| `workflows/` | Task-oriented procedures for using Mosaic Stack. | Discord conversation workflow is current. |
| `product/` | Current product surfaces and visible behavior. | Web dashboard reference is current. |
| `troubleshooting/` | User-visible failures, diagnostics, and fixes. | Scaffold only. |
### Current pages
- [Quickstart](getting-started/quickstart.md) — the verified installed-CLI first-use path.
- [Web dashboard](product/web-dashboard.md) — verified current Next.js dashboard behavior and limitations.
- [Discord conversations](workflows/discord-conversations.md) — verified current Discord user workflow.
Every promoted page must be added to this index and to [`SITEMAP.md`](../SITEMAP.md) in the same migration slice.
## Migration backlog — not current navigation
These are source candidates, not current user guidance:
- `_old_structure/guides/user-guide.md` — quarantined historical source; verify every claim before promotion. See the [documentation catalog](../reports/documentation/2026-08-10-docs-catalog-audit.md) for its disposition.
- The former root `QUICKSTART.md` was an empty placeholder and has been replaced by the current page above.
Do not link to the quarantine as a current user path. Create a new page only after classifying its audience, status, and evidence in the migration report.
## Authoring boundary
New user-facing documentation belongs under one of the chapter directories above. Use a lowercase kebab-case page name, state whether commands are current or held, and link back to this index plus related canonical sources.
