dtoro 5e3b946ded cleanup: fix all stale references across .agents/ docs
- Rewrite AGENTS.md: DB as source of truth, MCP knowledge tools, archive refs
- Fix OIKOS.md: seeds/ paths, remove Python-era notes, update deployment status
- Fix commands.md, agent-enrollment.md: archive/knowledge/ links
- Fix all SKILL.md files: remove hosts/*.yaml refs, point to inventory.yaml
- Fix HERMES.md, schema.md, page-templates.md, llm-wiki.md: update paths
- Fix bootstrap.sh: identity check reads inventory.yaml
- Fix README.md, cutover-checklist.md: stale wiki references
- Move convert-wiki.py to archive/ (one-shot done)

# Lifecycle: deprecate a node
Per [seeds/ontology.yaml](../../../seeds/ontology.yaml): a node keeps running
but takes no new dependents. **Completion condition: zero remaining
inbound `depends-on`/`routes-to` edges** — this is a hard gate, not a
suggestion; `seeds/policy.yaml` `lifecycle_overrides.deprecated.refuse`
lists `new-inbound-edges` as refused going forward.
1. Set `state: deprecated` on the node.
2. `homelab node <name> relations` — read `affected_by`. Every entry
there is something still relying on this node.
3. Migrate or retire each dependent one at a time (point its `backend`/
`config_repo`/ingress route elsewhere, or deprecate it too if it's
being retired alongside).
4. Re-run `homelab node <name> relations` after each dependent is moved.
The transition to `destroyed` is only safe once `affected_by` is
empty — check this every time, don't assume from memory.
5. Note the deprecation on the doc page: reason, replacement (if any),
date.
If step 2 shows dependents you didn't expect, stop and investigate
before proceeding — that's exactly the kind of drift the Week-3 detector
will catch automatically, but until then this manual check is the gate.
Next (once `affected_by` is empty):
[lifecycle-destroy-node.md](../lifecycle-destroy-node/SKILL.md).
