docs(vault): remove drift tracking artifacts, bump vault docs to stable

The vault spec-to-implementation sync is complete. Remove the drift
tracking tools that were only needed during sync:

- Remove the Known Source Drift table from vault/README.md
- Remove 'known drift' / 'current source uses X' prose from Security
  Constraints sections in vault/README.md, encryption.md, and service.md.
  The permanent constraint statements (OsRng for IVs, zeroized drop,
  no unwrap, etc.) are preserved.
- Remove the drift paragraph in encryption.md Key Versioning.
- Remove stale 'to be updated per ADR-025' / 'postcard tests to be
  removed' notes in protocol.md References.
- Bump status: draft -> stable in the frontmatter of all vault docs
  (README, mnemonic-derivation, encryption, service, protocol).
- Update architecture/README.md: vault doc status entries to stable,
  Current State paragraph reflects vault implementation complete (no
  'pending ADR-025/026 refactor' language).

## Known Source Drift
The vault crate carries over source from the POC. The following items are
known divergences between the current source and the spec. All must be
corrected during implementation sync. This table is the single source of
truth for drift tracking — if an item is fixed in source, update this table.
| # | Item | Current source behavior | Target behavior (per spec) | Source location | Spec reference |
|---|------|------------------------|-----------------------------|-----------------|----------------|
| 1 | IV generation | `rand::random()` | `OsRng` (CSPRNG) | `encryption.rs` L133 | [encryption.md → Security Constraints](encryption.md#security-constraints), [service.md → Security Constraints](service.md#security-constraints) |
| 2 | RwLock `unwrap()` | `unwrap()` on every `RwLock` acquisition (L142, 161, 182, 191, 196, 227, 264, 307, 340, 367) | `unwrap_or_else(\|e\| e.into_inner())` for poisoned lock recovery | `service.rs` (see line numbers) | [service.md → Security Constraints](service.md#security-constraints) |
| 3 | `CURRENT_KEY_VERSION` | `1` (HD-derived, but v1 is reserved for TS PBKDF2 legacy per ADR-020) | `2` (HD-derived, per ADR-020) | `encryption.rs` | [encryption.md → Key Versioning](encryption.md#key-versioning), [ADR-020](../../decisions/020-hd-derivation-for-encryption-keys.md) |
| 4 | irpc dependency | `VaultProtocol` enum with `#[rpc_requests]`, `VaultServiceActor`, `Client<VaultProtocol>`, irpc/postcard deps | Remove entirely — direct method calls on `VaultServiceHandle` (ADR-025) | `protocol.rs`, `service.rs`, `Cargo.toml` | [ADR-025](../../decisions/025-vault-local-only-dispatch.md) |
| 5 | `DerivedKey` dual serialization | JSON redacts, postcard preserves bytes | Always redact on serialize; reject `"[REDACTED]"` on deserialize with error (ADR-025, resolves W8) | `protocol.rs` | [protocol.md → Serialization Redaction](protocol.md#serialization-redaction), [ADR-025](../../decisions/025-vault-local-only-dispatch.md) |
| 6 | `HashMap::clear` zeroization | `KeyCache::clear()` removes entries and relies on `CachedKey`'s `Drop` impl for zeroization | Verify `HashMap::clear()` actually drops values (it does, but worth a test) | `cache.rs` | [service.md → Security Constraints](service.md#security-constraints) |
| 7 | `derive_password` / `site_password_path` | `derive_password`, `derive_password_string`, `site_password_path` methods exist | Remove entirely — password-manager pattern not relevant to RPC system's vault (ADR-025, resolves C9) | `service.rs`, `mnemonic-derivation.rs` | [ADR-025](../../decisions/025-vault-local-only-dispatch.md) |
| 8 | `unlock_new` return type | Returns `String` (not zeroized on drop) | Return `Zeroizing<String>` — the mnemonic is the root of trust and must not linger in freed memory (resolves W7) | `service.rs` | [service.md → unlock_new](service.md#unlock_newword_count--phrase) |
| 9 | `key_version` ignored in encrypt/decrypt | `encrypt`/`decrypt` always derive at `PATHS::ENCRYPTION` regardless of `key_version` | Derive at `encryption_path_for_version(key_version)` — encrypt stamps the passed version, decrypt selects the key by the blob's version (ADR-021) | `service.rs` | [service.md → encrypt](service.md#encryptplaintext-key_version--encrypteddata), [ADR-021](../../decisions/021-key-rotation-via-version-indexed-paths.md) |
