Edward Langley d2a54ac320 kb: restore six doctrines a hard reset discarded, and record how
Consolidates four doc branches and restores what resyncing lost.

I wrote doctrines to kb.pl on local main, pushed each as a branch, then ran
`git reset --hard gh/main` twice to resync -- discarding six clauses that
existed only in the unmerged local commits. Nothing failed: kb_consistent
passed on the reduced file, the counts simply read lower, and the loss was
found only by grepping for clause names I happened to remember writing.

That is the same shape as everything else this wave found. A count that looks
plausible is not evidence, and the check that would have caught it -- diff the
clause NAMES, not the total -- is the one this repo already applies to tests
after a merge.

doctrine(a_hard_reset_discards_knowledge_written_to_the_working_branch) states
the two rules: write a fact once, on the branch that will carry it to main, not
on a local main that is going to be resynced; and after any reset or force-move
of a branch holding knowledge, re-count and diff clause names.

Restored: every_wave_agent_gets_its_own_worktree,
the_orchestrator_delegates_substantial_work,
a_message_assertion_is_a_uniqueness_claim_about_the_whole_vocabulary,
run_the_gate_ci_runs,
an_observation_correct_about_what_changed_can_be_wrong_about_when_it_is_read,
a_siblings_unmerged_pr_is_invisible_to_bd_search.

Also carries: the wave skill, the Copilot-gate correction to AGENTS.md, the
help evidence rename, and the code-review skill's missing -D warnings.
