Frank 8775e64ed0 feat(scripts): tools to destroy documentation, not preserve it
Point-of-use enforcement needs hands, not advice:

- `destroy-vault.py` — moves the pages on a kill list to `.AGENTTRASH/` and then
  deletes every reference to them from the survivors, including the whole line
  when the dead link was the line's only content. Stems are seeded from the trash
  so the pass is re-runnable; `pathlib.Path.stem` is NOT used to compare link
  targets, because it strips the real suffix off names like `sd.cpp`.
- `axe-measurements.py` — deletes bench/throughput ledger sections and rate rows,
  blanks any table cell that reports a rate, and folds Eras older than the current
  one into a single row that says the numbers were destroyed and that rollback is
  a commit. Never touches a shape number or a Law/Wire/Rollback section.
- `repair-damage.py` — fixes the two artifacts those passes can leave (a list
  marker that lost its space, a table separator left without its header).
- `restore-punctuation.py` — restores a line whose only difference from HEAD is
  stripped trailing punctuation. Written after `repair-damage.py`'s first version
  matched every wrapped prose line ending in a comma and deleted 660 of them: the
  rule is now `… see .` only, and the incident is recorded in its docstring.
- `gen-vault-index.py` — never walks into `.AGENTTRASH/`, and sweeps rows whose
  page cell is empty (a description left nameless by a destruction).

Full suite: 451 tests pass.

"""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.
Usage: destroy-vault.py <list-file>
List file: one vault-relative path per line; a directory path destroys the whole tree.
