Frank 82dd0c7d09 docs(power): reclaim the sleep docs from the sold box; fix AGENTS.md machine facts

The sleep/wake saga (Alienware-M16a2 research + Sleep-Fix-Guide) framed a
machine sold on 2026-09-28 as 'this system' — the 2026-09-28 identifier
purge missed both because they name no hostname. blankpad probed live:
Lenovo, AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 5650U / Cezanne, unified memory, s2idle only,
no NVIDIA, no ~/GitPackages/llama.cpp.

- research/Sleep-Fix-Guide.md -> .AGENTTRASH (verbatim restatement of the
  research doc's fix steps; PowerCluster overlap census)
- Alienware doc: archive banner, 'this system' -> retired dankware
- linux-power-management.md: scope note (blankpad s2idle-only; NVIDIA
  section is dankware/future-NVIDIA territory), boilerplate AGENTS.md
  cross-ref dropped
- cachyos.md: de-pinned rolling-release kernel versions (7.1.4 doc vs
  7.2.9 live), repo list confirmed verbatim against pacman.conf, SDDM
  confirmed live, verified: 2026-10-19
- AGENTS.md: dev-workstation row rewritten for blankpad; Gitea gotcha
  corrected — remote URLs carry NO token (credential-store file, verified)
