chore(repo): isolate benchmark bulk and preserve architecture work

Decision ask: approve as-is; zero code changes, only docs, .gitignore, and archive moves.

What

Removes generated benchmark bulk from source control, preserves architecture-review HTML/PDF, and adds reproducibility guards and handoff docs.

Why now

bench/harness-bakeoff contained .venv, .zenith, node_modules, and run results. This slowed clones and obscured real source.

What changed

Benchmark bulk moved to memory archives; architecture docs preserved under deploy/pages-architecture/; .gitignore guards for generated artifacts; skills-lock.json for reproducible installs; implementation handoff + destructive cleanup inventory.

Risk / trade-off

Low risk. No source code changes. Original files archived on disk; repository records their location.

Money & ops

Smaller repo, faster CI, cleaner diffs, preserved institutional knowledge, and a documented AWS cleanup backlog.

CEO decision

Approve. Safe cleanup PR. No deploy needed.
