docs: fix genuine passive-voice hits in docs/tools (hand-written files)

Read all 62 write-good.Passive hits across the 6 hand-written files in
docs/tools/ (bash.md, lifecycle.md, forge.md, hivectl.md, matrix.md,
scheduling.md) in context. Excludes forge-cli.md/hivectl-cli.md/
swarmctl-cli.md (57 more hits) -- those are CI-generated from the
clap doc-comment strings in hive-forge/hivectl/swarmctl, freshness-
checked against the committed markdown, so a fix there has to go in
the Rust source and get regenerated -- separate batch.

33 rewritten to active, actor usually already established in the same
paragraph or given via a 'by X' clause (the daemon, hive-c0re,
hive-forge, hivectl, hyperhive itself, or an established module name
like nix/agent-modules/mcp.nix). Several sibling-inconsistency fixes:
a passive clause next to an already-active sibling stating the same
fact (lifecycle.md's server-scoping sentence, forge.md's clone-derives
sentence, hivectl.md's daemon-hashes-passwords sentence, matrix.md's
daemon-upserts-a-todo paragraph).

29 left alone: no-X-is-Y / no-X-is-needed invariant idioms, config-state
conditionals (whenever/when X is set/configured/given), requirement-
list idiom, a false-positive tokenization (vale matching 'are read'
inside 'read-only'), definitional facts about CLI/attrset structure
with no real actor, hypothetical/counterfactual clauses describing a
rejected design alternative, a forward-looking not-yet-real removal,
compressed bullet-fragment conventions, and one deliberately-parallel
sentence structure left both halves alone to avoid breaking the
symmetry.

Verified via vale on the 6 touched files, diffed against main's exact
baseline (not just the Passive count): write-good.Passive 62 -> 29
exactly, every other category unchanged in count AND location
(TooWordy 16, Microsoft.We 1, Microsoft.FirstPerson 1, and the same
4 pre-existing Microsoft.Contractions errors at the same 4 lines).

# Lifecycle and approvals tools
Two tool groups govern agent lifecycle management and config changes.
Both are scoped to **direct children only** (topology-enforced: the

The server scopes both to **direct children only** (topology-enforced: it
rejects any name that's not a direct child of the calling
agent per `topology.json`). Privileged agents (for example ruth) may operate
on any sub-agent — the topology scope applies to all others.
