docs: scrub #NNN self-references (closes #719)

Last pass of the docs-from-code → docs/ epic (#708). Drops every
attribution cookie from docs/ + README.md + CLAUDE.md so the
source-tree files no longer reference the issue tracker. Issue
threads + commit history retain the references — those are the
canonical record.

- README.md: drop #701 / #660×2 / #551 from matrix + display-name
  sections, rephrase to convey the semantics directly
- CLAUDE.md: scrub 18 cookies from the file map (#655, #15, #784,
  #832, #444, #425, #361, #548, #598, #539, #544, #589, #701,
  #658, #280, #660, #551, #764, #772, #793, #14, #805)
- docs/agent-hierarchy.md: drop #658 ×3 (per-agent user is the
  current shape, not a transition)
- docs/conventions.md: drop #571 (replaced with a docs xref to
  persistence.md::matrix-avatar-sync)
- docs/gateway.md: scrub vhost-map table cookies + Sub-domain
  rationale + Per-agent unix-socket upstream + Self-signed TLS +
  Firewall posture + HIVE_FORGE_URL + Per-agent error pages
  sections; drop the trailing 'Sequencing history' issue list +
  the 'Next-up' issue-link footnote
- docs/matrix.md: scrub serverName/gatewayHost + Default-closed
  firewall + Provisioning flow + Initial rollout + Assertion
  rationale + fluffychat-web build fixes; drop the trailing
  'Sequencing history' issue list
- docs/network.md: drop 'Why ship before #14' #805 quote +
  Container shape #805 attribution + trailing 'Sequencing history'
  + Cross-references issue links; rename v2 column to 'after netns
  isolation'
- docs/web-ui.md: drop #784 from Container row, replace with a
  docs xref to docs/gateway.md::Per-agent unix-socket upstream

Only remaining #NNN in docs/ is the literal markdown-heading
example in docs/forge.md (`#tag`, `#123`, `#!/bin/bash`)
which demonstrates the renderer's behaviour — not an attribution
cookie.

## Sub-domain shape (rationale)
mara verdict at #749:9609 + #747:9722: sub-domain over sub-path for forge + matrix, sub-path for per-agent UIs.
Operator decision: sub-domain over sub-path for forge + matrix, sub-path for per-agent UIs.
- forgejo's default `ROOT_URL = http://<host>/` works without any `X-Forwarded-Prefix` gymnastics — sub-domain hosting is the canonical Forgejo deploy shape.
- matrix-spec deployments universally use `matrix.<server_name>` for the actual API listener — federation already expects this.
- per-agent UIs are hyperhive-internal; iris's #731 made them base-path-aware specifically for `/agent/<name>/`. Sub-domain per agent would multiply DNS + TLS-per-subdomain cost without per-app config wins.

## Per-agent unix-socket upstream (#784)
## Per-agent unix-socket upstream
Sub-agent `/agent/<name>/` upstreams flip from TCP loopback to a
unix-domain socket as each agent opts in. The mechanism:
1. **Agent side** (`hyperhive.web.useUnixSocket = true` in
`agent.nix`, #815). Sets `HIVE_WEB_SOCKET=/run/hive-agent/<name>/web.sock`
`agent.nix`). Sets `HIVE_WEB_SOCKET=/run/hive-agent/<name>/web.sock`
on the harness service env; `web_ui::serve` binds a `UnixListener`
at that path instead of TCP.
2. **Host side**. `hive-c0re` bind-mounts the per-agent subdir
(`/run/hive-agent/<name>/`) into the agent's container (#813). Dir
(`/run/hive-agent/<name>/`) into the agent's container. Dir
bind, not file bind — file bind-mounts don't survive the
harness's `unlink + bind(2)` cycle on socket replace. Per-agent
subdir keeps each agent's container blind to siblings'
sockets (mara on #800).
subdir keeps each agent's container blind to siblings' sockets.
3. **Marker gate**. After successful `bind_unix`, the harness drops
`<dir>/.bound` next to the socket. c0re's `agent_sockets::write`
filters its JSON map by marker presence — only agents whose
harness has actually bound the socket appear there (#784 atlas
gate). Without this filter, the gateway would `proxy_pass` to a
non-existent socket for every sub-agent that hasn't opted in yet.
4. **Gateway side** (#829). Reads `agent-sockets.json` at
request-handling time and routes `/agent/<name>/` to
harness has actually bound the socket appear there. Without this
filter, the gateway would `proxy_pass` to a non-existent socket
for every sub-agent that hasn't opted in yet.
4. **Gateway side**. Reads `agent-sockets.json` at request-handling
time and routes `/agent/<name>/` to
`http://unix:/run/hive-agent/<name>/web.sock:/`. Whole
`/run/hive-agent/` is bind-mounted read-only into the gateway
container so it can reach every published socket.

## Sequencing history
- #15 v0 (per-agent routing, #740) — first sub-app behind the gateway, JSON port table from c0re.
- #686 / #729 — Accept-header SPA fallback pattern.
- #749 / #754 — forge to sub-domain (mara: sub-domain over sub-path).
- #747 / #764 — matrix sub-domain vhost + `.well-known` delegation.
- #772 / #775 — fluffychat hops from `<hive>/matrix/` to `matrix.<hive>/`.
- #784 / #800 / #813 / #815 / #822 / #829 — sub-agent UI flips to unix-domain socket upstream, opt-in per agent.

## Self-signed TLS (`selfSignedTls`)
On by default since #837. The gateway generates a self-signed RSA-4096 cert at first boot (10-year validity) and listens on `httpsPort` (default 443) on every vhost beside the plain-http `port` (default 80).

**Why on by default**: matrix-dart-sdk (FluffyChat's SDK) hardcodes `https://<host>/.well-known/matrix/client` for homeserver discovery and refuses to fall back to plain http. Without TLS the browser client cannot bootstrap (#837). For headless agent traffic and operator dashboard reach plain http is fine, so the http listen stays in parallel — operators can keep using `http://<hive>/` from the dashboard if they don't care about the cert prompt.
