Patrick Buckley 471d1a3311 docs: audit documentation for 1.4 / 1.5 state
Systematic pass over every doc under docs/, the root-level README /
QUICKSTART / CONTRIBUTING, and the PlantUML diagrams.  Memory and docs
had drifted against the code since 1.2 — this catches them up to the
1.4.0 release and the 1.5.0a1 experimental line.

User-facing fixes
- README: fix broken docs/mcp.md link (→ mcp-registry.md); channel
  gateway entry reflects shipped Discord + Slack adapters instead of
  "Slack/Teams planned"; diagrams table mentions both.
- QUICKSTART: docs/*.md relative links were wrong from the repo root;
  wizard version bumped from 0.5.4.
- CONTRIBUTING: add dev extra plus the ruff / mypy / pytest commands
  we actually expect before push.

Reference docs
- architecture.md: 19 tool schemas (was 15), 18 admin tabs (was 14),
  turnstone-bootstrap added to entry-points table, OpenAI provider
  file split (chat/responses/common) documented, 38 SDK event
  dataclasses (was 27 and referenced deleted mq/protocol.py), Slack
  adapter + multi-adapter gateway, plan_agent/task_agent naming,
  governance admin-panel rewrite.
- api-reference.md: full attachment endpoints (POST/GET/content/
  DELETE on /v1/api/workstreams/{ws_id}/attachments) plus the
  multipart mode on POST /v1/api/workstreams/new.
- channels.md: Slack Setup section (Socket Mode app creation, OAuth
  scopes, tokens), Slack CLI/env reference in config table, combined-
  adapter architecture diagram.
- console.md: 18-tab listing (was 13) with Channels/Models/Nodes/TLS
  descriptions and ConfigStore live-edit note.
- docker.md: Slack env vars block; image entry-point list now
  includes turnstone / turnstone-bootstrap.
- sdk.md: attachments methods on the server client, attachments
  example (upload-then-send and at-creation), event count fixed.
- releasing.md: four-track table (stable/1.0, 1.3, 1.4 + main 1.5);
  promotion workflow uses 1.5 / 1.6 numbering.
- settings.md: plan_model / task_model / plan_effort / task_effort
  overrides section.
- governance.md: skill naming (/skill, `skill` field — not /template),
  Prompts/Judge tabs called out.
- security.md: two-token-types wording; src claim values match the
  AuthResult source strings actually emitted.
- mcp-registry.md: SDK package name is @turnstone/sdk.
- tools.md: plan / task renamed to plan_agent / task_agent in the
  section headings and summary table; primary-key table matched.
- design/consistent-hash-ring.md: dead direct-http-transport.md
  pointer redirected to architecture.md.

Diagrams
- 02-package-structure: drop phantom chat.py entry point, add admin
  and bootstrap, add slack/bot.py, rename channels/gateway.py →
  channels/cli.py.
- 16-channel-architecture: Slack is no longer "(future)", add a
  SlackBot class and the slack-bolt Socket Mode edges; wire the new
  bot into ChannelService.  PNGs regenerated from both puml sources.
