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    3 held        the SUPERSEDED TASKS.md stamps, which cite the moving path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   current|draft|deprecated|historical; the new contract's is active|superseded-by.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`.

#830 Documentation Completion Checklist

Required artifacts

  • docs/PRD.md contains the M1 compaction-refresh trust-lifecycle requirements and acceptance criteria.
  • Operator behavior and recovery are documented in docs/guides/lease-broker-operations.md.
  • Developer architecture and protocol behavior are documented in docs/architecture/compaction-revocation.md, lease-broker-protocol.md, and mutator-class-gate.md.
  • Security boundaries and residuals are documented in docs/architecture/lease-broker-security.md and compaction-revocation.md.
  • docs/SITEMAP.md links the new architecture page.
  • User-guide changes are not applicable: observers are mandatory internal runtime controls with no end-user workflow.
  • OpenAPI/endpoint changes are not applicable: the broker remains an internal Unix-socket protocol, not a public HTTP API.

Contract coverage

  • Claude and Claudex lifecycle signals, matchers, commands, and fail-closed behavior are documented.
  • Pi pre-/post-compaction signals and session replacement reasons are documented.
  • Private generation-file ownership, monotonic update, same-PID replacement, and failure fencing are documented.
  • revoke_lease input purpose, broker response state, and denial behavior are documented.
  • T12b/T30 explicitly names the bounded residual stale window and reports within-TTL ALLOWED / after-TTL DENIED.
  • Documentation explicitly disclaims a within-window mutator-action bound.
  • T-A, T-C, same-principal, and protected-branch boundaries are retained.

Structure and review

  • New architecture content is under docs/architecture/.
  • This report is under docs/reports/compaction-refresh/.
  • Session evidence is under docs/scratchpads/.
  • Documentation changes are in the same logical change set as code and tests.
  • Independent exact-head code and Opus security reviews pending coordinator sequencing after the deterministic-main rebase gate.

Publishing

  • Canonical documentation remains in-repository.
  • No external publishing target is required for this internal M1 control.
