glm-5.2 3f011cbb82 docs(arch): tighten door-type framing — reversal cost, not deferral
ADR-009, open-questions.md, and the architect agent spec all had the same
conflation: 'two-way door' was phrased as 'can be decided during
implementation,' which reads as 'defer the decision.' That's not what it
means. A two-way door is a decision you make now and can revert later if
wrong — it's about reversal cost, not urgency.

ADR-009: add §'What this framework is NOT' — explicitly separates door
type (reversal cost) from deferral (scope management). State that
architecture decisions are the architect's regardless of door type.
Reword the two-way-door process from 'can be decided during
implementation' to 'pick the simplest option that works, implement it,
revert if needed.'

open-questions.md: reword the header to clarify door type describes
reversal cost, not urgency. Add 'Door type is separate from whether a
decision is made.'

architect.md: add Key Principle #8 (decisions are made, not deferred),
a new 'Door Types and Decision Urgency' section, and two new anti-patterns
(#8: door type as deferral, #9: hedging language in resolved decisions).
