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).

# Incident investigation
Goal: understand what broke and why, before touching anything.
1. `homelab service <name> explain` (or `homelab node <name> relations`
if the affected entity is a host) — get the blast radius and doc
pointer first. Don't start pulling logs blind.
2. `homelab service <name> health` + `homelab service <name> log` (or
MCP `get_service_status` / `tail_log`) for the affected service.
3. Walk the blast radius: is a shared dependency down (`caddy`, `dns`,
`authentik`, or the backend host itself)? `homelab node <name>
relations` shows "affected by" — check those first.
4. `homelab apt-audit` if the symptom looks like a dpkg/upgrade
interaction.
5. Check the change ledger for recent mutations to the affected entity
or anything upstream of it: `homelab service <name> history` (once
populated) or grep `ledger/*.jsonl`.
6. Write findings to a new `investigations/<date>-<slug>.md` — symptom,
timeline, root cause, fix applied, prevention. This is the durable
record; don't rely on chat history.
Docs-update checklist: always create the investigation entry. If the
root cause was stale/wrong inventory data (a `doc_page`, `config_repo`,
or `backend` that didn't match reality — this happened during Week 1
kernel work, see the `authentik` backend fix), correct `inventory.yaml`
in the same session.
