docs: trim obsolete history and align current integration guidance

[sunib]

Older guides still described unguarded save-response adoption, automatic keyed-list merging, and authorization more broadly than the current APIs support. They also repeated migration stories and completed plans across the reader-facing docs. This cleanup makes current integration guidance easier to find and removes 566 net lines.

• Review all 33 tracked Markdown files. Remove implemented proposals 0001–0003 whose decisions already live in conformance, verification and saving guidance; update their source-comment references. Retain projection rationale, stream/save tradeoffs and the active work plan, including measurable host lifecycle acceptance criteria.
• Remove the duplicated stale-version clause and release-process narration called out after fix: define content and redaction convergence while suppressed writes retain older RVs #33. Trim migration anecdotes, old implementation status tables and unsupported comparison/novelty claims while retaining shared-watch security consequences and the reason convergence excludes RV. Keep generated changelogs and recorded cluster observations intact.
• Clarify host credentials and authorization versus gateway enforcement, optional watch sharing, default atomic arrays and schema-enabled keyed lists. Point asynchronous saves at captured intents and guarded reconciliation. Replace schematic create/delete handlers with host responsibilities and a compact UID-precondition delete fragment; compile that fragment against the pinned adapter dependencies.
• Refresh the example index, status-demo descriptions and security policy's stale version table. Shorten fixture rationale without changing watch scripts, expected events or client assertions.

Validation: task fixtures-check, task test (111 client tests, 2 Vue tests and Go suites), and task lint pass. All 145 relative links/anchors across the remaining 30 Markdown files resolve. All five Mermaid diagrams render in Chromium; the revised authentication flow was visually inspected. Related-project descriptions were checked against their primary sites.

Compared generated fixture objects with only why removed: identical. SSE transcripts, fixture bodies, spec MUST/SHOULD/MAY lines, changelogs and generated cluster evidence are unchanged. Outside docs/fixture prose, edits are comments and real-cluster test diagnostic wording only. No runtime change, new dependency or new adoption recipe implementation; real-API hardening and continuation remain in the work plan.

CI and CodeQL passed on final commit 189ef777b52b739cc55a0ce923adb2d57a4b1dad, including real-browser, HTTP wire and clean Go-consumer checks. CodeRabbit was review-rate-limited; its passing status does not represent a completed review.

Summary by CodeRabbit

Changes

Documentation and protocol alignment

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Host-owned credentials and authorization README.md, SECURITY.md, docs/auth.md, docs/why-a-gateway.md, docs/glossary.md, examples/README.md	The documentation now describes host-owned Kubernetes clients, allowlisted targets, managed browser streams, authorization seams, and shared-watch authorization.
Save and client-state contracts README.md, docs/client-state-model.md, docs/glossary.md, docs/saving.md, docs/proposals/0003-validate-patch.md, docs/proposals/0005-kubernetes-stream-and-save-semantics.md, spec/v1.md	The documentation defines projected server state, conflict handling, captureSave, host-side validation, UID and resourceVersion preconditions, and save outcomes.
Protocol and conformance evidence conformance/*, docs/facts/kubernetes-api-concepts.md, docs/proposals/0001-watch-ops.md, docs/proposals/0002-real-cluster.md, docs/proposals/0004-views-and-bytes.md, examples/vanilla-browser/README.md, gateway/conformance.go, spec/v1.md, Taskfile.yml, test/cluster/sample-apiserver/README.md	Protocol notes and conformance materials now cover watch events, projections, resource-version ordering, snapshot recovery, and aggregated-API verification.
Documentation structure and release guidance docs/adopting.md, docs/alternatives.md, docs/proposals/0006-stream-and-save-implementation-plan.md, docs/releasing.md	Adoption, alternatives, implementation-plan, and release documentation were condensed and updated with current references and package publishing rules.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Change: Other

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 1a094

The stream-and-save plan needs measurable lifecycle targets before hosts can reliably validate reauthorization and termination behavior. This is a bounded documentation-planning risk but should be resolved before relying on the plan for acceptance.

- Around line 131-132: Update the lifecycle acceptance criteria near “UID
replacement in the browser” to define measurable pass/fail thresholds for
reauthorization intervals, timeouts, and stream termination under the host
workload, including the current 30s and 5s targets where they remain valid and
explicit bounds for host-specific measurements.
