docs: adopt wiki-hq conventions + separate agent instructions (phases 1-2)

Problem: the narrative docs lacked an enforceable style standard, and
agent-facing instruction (OIKOS/CAVEMAN/CONTRIBUTING) was interleaved with
human content at the repo root.

Change:
- Add .agents/shared/{writing-style,llm-wiki}.md — a lint-checkable prose
  standard (with an imperative-voice exception for runbooks/recipes) and the
  sources/wiki/index/log layer model.
- Move CAVEMAN.md -> .agents/shared/caveman.md,
  CONTRIBUTING.md -> .agents/shared/page-templates.md,
  OIKOS.md -> .agents/OIKOS.md; leave thin root stubs so old links resolve.
- Add .agents/domains/{knowledge,operations}/schema.md; operations schema
  codifies "plans always live in plans/".
- Repoint live references (AGENTS, README, GLOSSARY, OIKOS) and fix OIKOS.md's
  internal relative links for its new depth.

Risk: none to the operational substrate — inventory.yaml, hosts/*.yaml,
oikos/, mcp/, secrets/, bin/ untouched (verified via git status).

Verification: relative-link check across .agents/ clean; substrate churn empty.

# LLM Wiki — the documentation contract
How the narrative documentation in this repo is organized. The pattern is borrowed from the
`sources / wiki / index / log` model: a durable synthesized layer (`knowledge/wiki/`) built on top
of immutable evidence (`knowledge/sources/`, `investigations/`), with pure-listing indexes and an
append-only operations log.
This contract governs the **narrative layer only**. The machine-readable substrate — `inventory.yaml`,
generated `hosts/*.yaml`, `oikos/`, `mcp/`, `secrets/`, `bin/` — is not part of the wiki and never
moves under it. See [the knowledge schema](../domains/knowledge/schema.md) for the split.
## Layers
- **Sources** are immutable raw material: incident records (`investigations/`), external reference
docs (`knowledge/sources/references/`), and the live system itself (`pct config`, `docker inspect`).
Read them; do not rewrite them into other sources.
- **Wiki** (`knowledge/wiki/`) is the synthesized, authoritative current-state layer: one page per
node (`containers/`, `vms/`, host narratives) and per cross-cutting system (`infrastructure/`). A
reader understands the topic from the wiki page without reading the sources.
- **Index** (`index.md` / folder `README.md`) is a pure listing — every page in scope with a
one-line summary, and nothing else. Anything the section wants to say up front goes into a page
the index lists, not into the index.
- **Log** (`log.md`) is append-only, recording *doc-maintenance operations* (restructures, source
ingests, lint sweeps) in single-line format: `## [YYYY-MM-DD] <op> | <summary>`.
## Two logs, kept distinct
- **`## Changelog`** on each node/topic page records *infrastructure* changes to that node. It is
machine-parsed (`get_changelog`, the Oikos ledger) — keep the `### YYYY-MM-DD — title` shape.
- **`log.md`** per area records *documentation* operations only. It never duplicates the Oikos
change ledger (`oikos/ledger.py`), which stays authoritative for infra changes with
who/what/risk/approval/verification.
## Rules
- Wiki pages stay short and focused. A page past ~300 lines splits.
- Pages stay flat under `wiki/<section>/` until there are enough to warrant a sub-group.
- Every page follows [writing-style.md](writing-style.md).
- Plans and design docs always live in the repo `plans/` folder (`plans/YYYY-MM-DD-slug.md`),
listed in `plans/index.md`, moved to `plans/done/` on completion — never a scratch path or a chat
message. See [the operations schema](../domains/operations/schema.md).
