docs: one owner for the one-log rule, and an honest scope on the census

The one-work-log rule was written near-verbatim in four places — okf-spec,
okf-maintenance, log.md's preamble, and APPEND_SYSTEM.md. Four copies is four
authorities: each can be edited alone, and the next reader cannot tell which one the
linter implements. okf-spec.md owns it; maintenance now carries the action (collapse
a second log into the root, then re-run the linter) instead of re-arguing it; the log
page points at the rule rather than restating it. APPEND_SYSTEM keeps its imperative —
a system prompt cannot fetch a link at the moment of writing — but no longer carries
the duplicated reasoning.

`inventory/index.md` advertised "all userspace program configuration on the
workstation". The one page in that directory measures `~/.config` on blankpad: not
`~/.local/share`, not system package state, not the servers. A coverage claim that
names what was measured is the difference between a census and an alibi.
