docs(dragoon): the 262144 ceiling, the 200,000 window, and the 95 % trigger law

Shape + harness contract on the endpoint page, AGENTS.md, and the OMP
Harness worked example recomputed to the live pair; the 400-zone law now
names the 85 %-comments vs 95 %-config disagreement as the recurring
cause and points at the seam that enforces the arithmetic.
