dtoro 5c5016b3c7 docs: reshape runbooks into .agents/skills/<name>/SKILL.md (phase 4)
Problem: runbooks are agent-executable procedures but lived at the repo root,
separate from the other agent instruction now under .agents/.

Change:
- Move runbooks/<name>.md -> .agents/skills/<name>/SKILL.md (folder per skill,
  matching the wiki-hq skills layout). Frontmatter (name, risk_class, inputs,
  verification, docs_update_checklist, transition) preserved.
- Rewrite links (inbound from plans; between-skill siblings) via the move map.
- Update prose references in AGENTS.md, HERMES.md, .agents/OIKOS.md, and the
  operations schema; fix a pre-existing stale link to operations/commands.md.

No code consumed runbooks/ by path, so nothing else changes.

Verification: all SKILL.md frontmatter parses with valid risk_class; every
lifecycle transition resolves to an oikos/ontology.yaml state; broken-link
count 127 -> 126 (fixed one, introduced none).

# Operations domain — schema
The operations domain holds the procedural and time-stamped documentation: runbooks (repeatable
procedures), investigations (incident evidence), and plans (design docs for non-trivial work). It
follows [writing-style](../../shared/writing-style.md); runbooks and plans use the imperative voice
exception.
## Plans always live in `plans/`
**Any plan or design doc for the Homelab is written into the repo `plans/` folder as
`plans/YYYY-MM-DD-slug.md` — never a scratch path, an agent-private plan location, or a chat
message.** An agent drafting a plan:
1. Writes the file under `plans/` using the plan template in [page-templates.md](../../shared/page-templates.md).
2. Lists it in `plans/index.md`.
3. On completion, moves it to `plans/done/` and updates the index status.
This is the single source for homelab design intent; keeping it in-repo means the plan is
versioned, reviewable, and reachable by MCP `get_page`/`search_docs` like any other doc.
## Runbooks
Repeatable procedures are skills — one folder per skill at `.agents/skills/<name>/SKILL.md`, with
YAML front-matter that the Oikos policy and lifecycle machinery reads:
```yaml
---
name: <name>
risk_class: read_only | reversible_low | config_mutation | destructive
inputs: [<param>, ...]
verification: "<shell expression that proves success>"
docs_update_checklist: [<doc artifacts to update>]
transition: "<from> -> <to>" # only for lifecycle runbooks
---
```
`risk_class` values and the lifecycle `transition` states must match
[`oikos/policy.yaml`](../../../oikos/policy.yaml) and [`oikos/ontology.yaml`](../../../oikos/ontology.yaml).
## Investigations
Incident records live in `investigations/YYYY-MM-DD-slug.md` and are **evidence sources** — written
once at incident time, then linked from the changelogs of the nodes they implicate. Sections:
`## Summary`, `## Timeline`, `## Root cause`, `## Mitigations applied`, `## Open questions`. Resolved
incidents move to `investigations/archive/`.
## The operations log
`plans/log.md` and `investigations/log.md` are append-only records of documentation operations on
those areas (`## [YYYY-MM-DD] <op> | <summary>`), distinct from the Oikos change ledger.
