A standing reference for invariants that hold across storage, engine,
server, schema, indexing, observability, and the OSS/Cloud split. Used
to check RFCs and PRs against the substrate boundaries (don't rebuild
what Lance gives us), layering rules (one trait boundary per layer),
distributability constraints (Send+Sync, location-neutral IR), honesty
expectations (estimate-vs-actual, bounded failure modes), unified
patterns (reconciler, Union polymorphism, SIP, factorize), the §IX
deny-list, and the §X review checklist.
§IV (additivity / migration) and §VIII (OSS/Cloud kernel-product split)
are referenced but not yet drafted — flagged as placeholders pending
upstream fill-in.
AGENTS.md surfaces it from the topic index, the always-on rules
section, and the maintenance contract; the deny-list is also inlined
there as a fast-pass review filter so it stays in scope every turn.

Splits the 990-line AGENTS.md into a 184-line map (architecture,
where-to-find index, always-on invariants, capability matrix,
maintenance contract) plus 18 new docs/*.md files holding the deep
content per topic (storage, schema and query languages, indexes,
embeddings, branches/commits, runs, merge, changes, execution, policy,
server, CLI reference, audit, errors, CI, constants, v0.3.1 notes).
Adds scripts/check-agents-md.sh and a check_agents_md CI job that
verifies every docs/ link in AGENTS.md resolves and every doc in the
canonical set is linked. CLAUDE.md remains a symlink to AGENTS.md.

- docs/deployment.md: new "Token sources" section listing the three
bearer-token source precedences (AWS SM, JSON file/env, single token).
New "Build Variants" section explaining default vs aws builds and
their release-artifact naming. New "AWS Secrets Manager" section
covering env var, secret payload format, IAM role credential
discovery, and the hard error for feature-less builds.
- CONTRIBUTING.md: documents the `aws` feature and the two test
commands contributors should run when touching auth code.
