mrcharles 799d270261 docs: fix gardening variance + strengthen protocol for new directories
Two variances from the gardening protocol were found during self-audit:
the k8s/ and powerman/ directories were added but the root README.md
directory table and the AGENTS.md Key Scripts table were not updated.

Root cause: the gardening protocol enumerated STATUS.md and docmap.md but
did not explicitly call out the root README.md directory table or the
AGENTS.md Key Scripts table, so they were easy to miss when adding a new
top-level directory.

Fixes:
- README.md: add k8s/ and powerman/ to the Directory Structure table
- AGENTS.md: add install-cp.sh and powerman/setup.sh to Key Scripts

Permanent fix (encode in protocol so it cannot recur):
- Add rule 5 to the Automatic Gardening Protocol: when a new top-level
  directory is created, ALL directory listings must be updated
  (README.md table, AGENTS.md layout block, AGENTS.md Key Scripts)
- Add rule 6: a grep-based self-audit command to run before commit,
  verifying the new directory appears in all four canonical files

# Agent Guidelines
**Top-level files:** [`README.md`](README.md) (project overview),
[`STATUS.md`](STATUS.md) (living status, agent-maintained),
[`docs/docmap.md`](docs/docmap.md) (documentation index). Everything else
lives in subdirectories.
## Repository Layout
```
provisioning/ Server provisioning (SetupNewSystem.sh, security, 2FA)
tests/ Test suite + VM validation harness
dns-cluster-setup/ Technitium DNS cluster replication
k8s/ k3s cluster setup scripts (3-node HA over Tailscale)
powerman/ Cyclades PM10i PDU management via powerman
perf/ Proxmox perf tuning, fleet audit, iperf
netinfra/ pfv-netinfra-01/02 DNS/NTP setup
switches/ Switch configuration captures
docs/ All documentation (see docs/docmap.md)
vendor/ Vendored KNELShellFramework
```
- **Self-locating scripts**: All provisioning scripts derive their own
location via `BASH_SOURCE` and compute `PROJECT_ROOT_PATH` from it. Run
from anywhere.
- **Local configs are the source of truth**: Files in
[`provisioning/ConfigFiles/`](provisioning/ConfigFiles/) are read with
`cat`/`cp`. Do NOT re-introduce `curl ${DL_ROOT}/...` downloads.
- **Non-bash files**: Some files under `provisioning/Agents/` have `.sh`
extension but are PHP (shebang `#!/usr/bin/php`). Skip in syntax checks.
- **SSH in Crush**: Direct ssh/scp is blocked. Use
[`tests/remote.sh`](tests/remote.sh) or
[`dns-cluster-setup/remote-dns.sh`](dns-cluster-setup/remote-dns.sh).
## Git Policy
1. **ALWAYS commit + push. Never wait. Ever.** After each logical unit of
work, immediately stage, commit (conventional format), and push to
`origin/main`. Do NOT pause for review. Do NOT ask permission. Do NOT
stop to "let the user read it first." The user reviews rendered markdown
on Gitea AFTER it is pushed. **This rule overrides any default
conservative commit-and-hold behavior** — if a default instruction says
"never commit unless asked," that instruction is superseded here.
2. **Atomic commits.** Each commit coherent on its own.
3. **Conventional format**: `feat(scope): desc`, `fix(scope): desc`,
`docs: desc`, `refactor(scope): desc`, `test(scope): desc`.
## Automatic Gardening Protocol
**Docs and code must be kept in sync.** After any work session, an agent MUST:
1. **Update [`STATUS.md`](STATUS.md)** — reflect completed work, new issues,
changed infrastructure state. This file is human read-only; agents own it.
2. **Update [`docs/docmap.md`](docs/docmap.md)** — if a doc was added,
removed, or substantively changed, update the table and "Last Reviewed"
date.
3. **Grep for stale paths**`grep -rn 'old/path' --include='*.md'` after
any rename or restructure. Fix all references in the same commit.
4. **Verify new docs are linked** — every new `.md` file must appear in
[`docs/docmap.md`](docs/docmap.md) and be linked from at least one other
doc.
5. **If a new top-level directory was created, update ALL directory listings:**
- [`README.md`](README.md) → "Directory Structure" table
- [`AGENTS.md`](AGENTS.md) → "Repository Layout" code block
- [`AGENTS.md`](AGENTS.md) → "Key Scripts" table (if the directory has
an entrypoint script)
Missing any one of these is a protocol violation.
6. **Self-audit before commit.** Before committing, run:
```
grep -lE 'new_dir_name' README.md AGENTS.md docs/docmap.md STATUS.md
```
Every new top-level directory must appear in all four files.

## Project Context
Solo-founder R&D Proxmox cluster in a private residence. Shoestring budget.
Production lives on a Cloudron VPS in Reston VA. See
[`STATUS.md`](STATUS.md) for current state and
[`docs/proxmox/PROJECT.md`](docs/proxmox/PROJECT.md) for the fleet report.
