"""Destroy measurement ledgers in the surviving pages.
Point of use (AGENTS.md → Documentation Policy): a rate/throughput figure for
anything not running and not being compared is destroyed, not filed. This pass
deletes
1. any section whose heading is a bench/throughput/rate/ladder/verdict ledger,
2. any table row or standalone bullet that REPORTS a rate (`123.4 t/s`,
`tok/s`, `ms/token`, `TTFT`, acceptance %, `llama-bench`, a bench arm),
and it never touches a shape number (ctx, slots, MiB budgets, ports) or a bullet
under a *Laws* / *Wire contract* / *Rollback* heading, where the sentence is the
payload and the number is decoration. Dry run by default; `--apply` writes.

"""Destroy the vault's dead weight: era ledgers, retired runtimes, dead experiments.
`AGENTS.md` was treating a measurement as a record worth keeping forever. It is not: a
throughput figure for a payload that no longer runs, on a runtime that no longer exists,
is a liability — the next agent spends context on a number that AI progress has already
obsolete. This pass moves those pages to `.AGENTTRASH/` (repo law: never `rm`) and then
deletes every reference to them from the surviving pages, including the sentence that
carried the link when the link was the sentence's only content.
