docs: the operator moved the design ownership boundary, and the fence was ours

Round 1 ruled not-as-shown: 'He didn't go far enough, still looks like the
booth. I want him to consider the flow and the requirements — design touches,
layout, usability all belong to him.'

The handoff paragraph that said we were not asking for layout changes driven by
information architecture is void. design-dev's 'class additions only, no
reordering' was that constraint honoured, so the ruling corrects our brief
rather than his round — worth recording that way round, because the next session
reading only the artifact would read it as a design failure.

Flow, layout, usability and the requirements are his now; the IA is no longer
fenced off. What survives is split in two on purpose: correctness invariants
that are not design opinions, and engineering defaults we chose that he may now
argue with, where a dispute goes to the operator rather than being settled
between agents.
