docs(rfc): define and enforce a uniform RFC format; adopt it across the corpus

Define the in-file RFC contract in docs/rfc/README.md § The file format:
the header block (`# RFC: <title>` plus a dateless Status enum
cross-checked against the lifecycle folder), the per-lifecycle body
skeleton (a Problem opener everywhere; Proposal/Alternatives considered/
Acceptance criteria/Risks in proposed/; present-tense Decision/
Consequences with proposal-era headings banned in implemented/; the
frozen proposal shape in rejected/), and a mandatory Alternatives
considered section with a date-fenced grandfather comment for pre-format
RFCs whose alternatives are not reconstructible from the record.

Enforce it with a new doc-sync gate, scripts/verify-rfc-format.ts, and
normalize all 112 RFCs to it: ~15 Status-line spellings collapse to the
enum, 29 Context openers become Problem, the 39 legacy-format XXX debt
markers are resolved and banned from reappearing, proposal-era sections
in implemented RFCs are rewritten to shipped reality (including the
web/fs/subagent seam RFCs' migration plans and test checklists, closing
the doc-tiers deferred-work item on the web seam), every RFC gains an
Alternatives considered section or the grandfather comment, and the
bilingual pair is re-mirrored and re-recorded.

Move the generated index tables out of README.md into a fully generated
docs/rfc/INDEX.md — gen-rfc-index now writes the whole file, and
verify-rfc-classification checks its freshness and rejects index-shaped
rows in the curated README — which makes room for the format contract to
live in the README front door instead of a separate FORMAT.md.

The decision record, and the first RFC written in the new format, is
docs/rfc/implemented/process/2026-07-05-uniform-rfc-format.md.

## Problem
Two architectural guarantees currently live only in prose: (1) nothing depends on the concrete loop package ([the microkernel promise](../../implemented/architecture/2026-06-11-microkernel-event-taxonomy.md)), and (2) every LlmAdapter speaks the chunk protocol correctly. Both should be mechanical ([the quality-gates principle](../../implemented/process/2026-06-11-quality-gates.md)).

dependency-cruiser config + CI step first (an hour of work, permanent guarantee); the conformance kit lands with its first consumer test against MockAdapter, and is a prerequisite for the V4 adapter phase.
## Acceptance criteria
- dependency-cruiser runs in CI with the rule families above; a violating import fails the build.
- The conformance kit runs against the mock adapter and both shipping adapters, and a new adapter package inherits the suite by invoking it with its factory.
## Risks
Dep-cruiser rule maintenance as packages are added — keep rules pattern-based (`dsh-*`) rather than enumerated.
