glm-5.2 da0d395ab3 docs: fix tty-bast.md to cover only binary framing, not JSON payloads
The previous BAST document modeled the JSON payloads (NegotiateRequest,
ControlMessage and its resize/signal/eof/exit variants, TerminalParams)
as BAST struct/union definitions with uint16/int32 fields. That was a
category error: BAST describes binary data layouts, and per the BAST
format spec itself, "a BAST document cannot validate a JSON payload."
The control and negotiation payloads on the wire are UTF-8 JSON text
serialized via serde_json, not struct-encoded binary — the uint16/int32
field widths implied a binary encoding that does not exist on the wire
and would have misled any generated validator.

The rewrite keeps only the genuinely-binary framing layer:

- ChunkHeader (5-byte: stream_type u8 + length u32 BE)
- StreamType enum (name->index table; documented deviation: on-wire
  is uint8, not BAST's standard u32 enum index)
- Chunk (header + length-prefixed bytes payload)
- NegotiationFrame (4-byte BE length prefix + UTF-8 JSON body,
  modeled as bytes since the body's JSON interpretation is above the
  BAST layer)

The JSON shapes (NegotiateRequest, ControlMessage, TerminalParams)
remain specified in tty-wire.md and implemented by the Rust source
(src/negotiation.rs, src/control.rs), which are the source of truth
for those payloads. Cross-references in tty-wire.md, overview.md, and
README.md updated to reflect the simplified scope.

The drift-detection test (project plan "Risk: BAST schema drift")
still works unchanged — it asserts the StreamType enum values match
wire.rs's STREAM_* constants, and that enum is retained.

Docs-only change; no Rust source changes.

Verification:
- cargo test --all-features -> 122 tests pass (unchanged)
- cargo clippy --all-targets --all-features -- -D warnings -> clean
- cargo fmt --check -> clean
- cargo doc --no-deps -> no new warnings (9 pre-existing rustdoc link
  warnings in src/, unchanged)
- BAST JSON block parses as valid JSON (4 : ChunkHeader,
  StreamType, Chunk, NegotiationFrame)

glm-5.2 b3f50d1836 phase 4: architecture docs + BAST schema + renumbered ADRs
Port the alknet-tty architecture docs into alktty and add the BAST
document for the alk/tty wire format. Docs-only; no Rust source
changes.

Spec docs (docs/architecture/, flat layout — single-crate repo):
- overview.md — crate purpose, two-carriage model, deps, ALPN,
  backend location map, feature gates
- tty-wire.md — 5-byte chunk codec, control channel split
  (STREAM_CTRL_IN=3 / STREAM_CTRL_OUT=4), sentinels
- tty-backend.md — TtyBackend trait, TtyHandle, TtyControl,
  REQ-TTY-01 (backends need not be natively async)
- tty-adapter.md — TtyAdapter, three-pump driver, exit-chunk
  ordering (ADR-004), cancel cleanup (ADR-005), access control
- tty-local.md — LocalTtyBackend (local feature module), PTY +
  pipe modes, REQ-TTY-02 (signal forwarding to process group)
- README.md — architecture index

ADRs (docs/architecture/decisions/, renumbered 001..008 from
alknet 052,053,054,055,056,057,077,093 in order):
- 001 wire format + two-carriage model (incl. Phase 7 control-
  channel split amendment)
- 002 TtyBackend trait + TtyHandle
- 003 local backend placement (records both the alknet sibling-
  crate decision and the alktty single-crate consolidation behind
  a local feature)
- 004 exit code on a control chunk
- 005 backend cleanup on session cancel
- 006 self-contained negotiation framing
- 007 tty inside channels (reversed by 008; kept for historical
  context with reversal notice)
- 008 channels pure channel multiplexing (reverses 007; TTY
  always uses its 5-byte format)

BAST document (docs/architecture/tty-bast.md):
- Normative JSON spec for the alk/tty wire format, conforming to
  the BAST meta-schema at https://alk.dev/bast/v1/schema
- 5-byte chunk header (struct, big-endian: stream_type uint8,
  length uint32) + StreamType enum (Stdin=0..CtrlOut=4)
- ControlMessage union (field-name discriminator on type:
  resize/signal/eof/exit) with documented deviation that on-wire
  control payloads are UTF-8 JSON, not BAST's binary union
  encoding
- NegotiationFrame (4-byte BE length + UTF-8 JSON body) +
  NegotiateRequest / TerminalParams JSON shapes
- StreamType enum deviation noted: on-wire uint8, not BAST's
  standard u32 enum index (chunk header is 5 bytes, not 8)
- alktty does not depend on alktype; the hand-rolled wire.rs is
  the runtime codec, the BAST is the human-readable contract

AGENTS.md: fixed the ADR mapping table to match the plan's 8-to-8
mapping (the previous table substituted ADR-050 for 054, relabeled
056 as control-message split, dropped 077, and added a new
control-split ADR at 006 — inconsistent with both the plan and the
prose). ADR-050 (dynamic resource ownership) is an alkcall/alknet-
core ADR, not tty-specific, and is not ported; the Phase 7 control
split stays as an amendment inside ADR-001, mirroring alknet.

Verification (all pass, no Rust source changed):
- cargo test (80 passed)
- cargo test --all-features (103 passed)
- cargo clippy --all-targets -- -D warnings (clean)
- cargo fmt --check (clean)
- cargo check --target wasm32-unknown-unknown (clean)
- cargo clippy --target wasm32-unknown-unknown -- -D warnings
  (clean)
- cargo doc --no-deps: 9 pre-existing intra-doc-link warnings in
  src/session.rs and src/channels.rs (untouched by this commit;
  not introduced here)
- BAST JSON parses; StreamType indices match wire.rs constants
  (0=Stdin..4=CtrlOut)
- all markdown cross-reference links resolve
