A close commit with zero preceding impl commits is valid — some leaf
nodes involve operational steps (e.g., creating a mirror) with no code
changes. Removed the false-positive check.

During finalization, all mikado frontmatter (requires, status, branch) should
be removed — cards become plain documentation linked via wiki-links. Updated
agent-change-process docs and cleaned up 10 cards from closed chains. Also
fixed ai-docs referencing deleted plans/ files.

The mikado-branch-invariant-check hook now inspects staged files (commit-msg
hook) and historical commit files (standalone mode) to reject impl commits
that touch markdown files with Mikado frontmatter (requires:, status:, or
branch: mikado/). Cards should only be modified by plan, close, or finalize.

## Summary
- **C0 (Quick Fix):** Now explicitly allows direct-to-main commits with no PR required — for low-risk, fix-forward-safe changes
- **C1 (Human Review):** New docs-first workflow with branch deployment (ArgoCD `--revision`, Ansible from checkout). Includes upgrade criteria for escalation to C2
- **C2 (Mikado Chain):** Introduces the **Mikado Branch Invariant** — strict commit ordering where card-introducing commits come first, followed by code progress, followed by card closures. Branch resets required when new prerequisites are discovered
Updates CLAUDE.md rules (3, 4, 8, 9) to reflect that C0 bypasses branching/PR requirements. Also updates ai-assistance-guide, how-to index, and docs-mikado task description.
