PR Summary

Low Risk
Documentation and agent-process guidance only; no runtime or merge-gate code changes in this diff.

Overview
Replaces Brunch’s multi-protocol agent operating model (steering, arc-close, document index, spec ledger, wayfinding, partition worktrees, legibility, and related skills) with a mission-first charter centered on AGENTS.md, new MISSION.md, and slimmed tracker docs.

AGENTS.md now states three execution laws, a six-field mission contract (imperative, throughline, proof, constraints, fog-line, stop/reorient), correctives, and an explicit rule that specs/ADRs/evidence are reference hypotheses, not build obligations. apps/brunch-agent/AGENTS.md points agents at MISSION.md first and scopes the app to Flue plus packages the current mission needs.

MISSION.md defines Mission 1: prove Petrinaut ↔ plain Flue chat end-to-end (AI SDK transport only, no harness/plugins on the active path, Flue history authoritative) before re-adding elicitation semantics.

Removed or retired: docs/INDEX.md, docs/control/SPEC-LEDGER.md, most of docs/agents/* (steering, arc-close, documentation, legibility, domain, partition-worktrees, triage-labels, posture), and arc-close skill wrappers. CONTEXT.md and README.md are trimmed; docs/adr/README.md labels ADRs as historical. git-workflow, issue-tracker, and issue-writing are rewritten for one issue / one branch / one PR and inbox-style Linear posture without bulk reconciliation.
