windyboy be56d86e84 refactor(vault): Phase 5 — single agent contract
- Rewrite AGENTS.md as single operations manual (PARA, permission table,
  frontmatter conventions, safety rules, code style)
- Root CLAUDE.md = one-line pointer to AGENTS.md
- Delete 13 stub CLAUDE.md files across vault directories
- Delete .claude/project-instructions.md + .claude/memory/instructions/
  (content merged into AGENTS.md)
- .claude/settings.json: deny plugin data.json + 04_Archive + git push;
  ask on .obsidian/** edits; remove SessionStart hook (claudesidian welcome)
- Delete 3 upstream commands (init-bootstrap, install-claudesidian, upgrade)
- Add risk/writes metadata to 14 remaining commands
- Rewrite README.md (remove all claudesidian content)
