docs(u5): state what the contract deliberately leaves out

The out-of-scope block is load-bearing for the cross-frontier review
gates — without negative constraints their signal-to-noise drops sharply,
and both /heid-code-review and /heid-bug-hunt refuse to fire without one.
Written for the reviewer, but it is the same list the roadmap gate
produced: the what-landed feed is parked for v1.1, nothing enforces that
a booth must announce itself (rsync is a documented path and never runs
the CLI), and the manifest describes rather than decides — U4 owns
lifetime.

## Out of scope
Deliberately deferred or never. Divergence here is not drift.
- **A second index ordering keyed on `created`** — a "what landed" feed. Operator
decision, 2026-09-22: parked for v1.1. It is a new ordered collection needing
its own stated rule, it competes with the existing order for what "the third
one" means, and it has nothing to sort the 26 manifest-less booths by.
- **`why` in the zip manifest, or a `booth ls` column.** One-liners over the
same record, neither on the v1 path.
- **Enforcing that a booth MUST announce itself.** `rsync` is the documented
path for every host that is not nh3-dev and never runs the CLI, so a refusal
would break the documented workflow. The marker is the whole mechanism.
- **Deleting, expiring or migrating anything based on the manifest.** U4 owns
lifetime; this unit only describes.
- **Any change to how items, marks, blur, keep or the link board work.** The
manifest is a dotfile and every existing listing already skips it.
- **Auth, or treating a manifest as trusted.** Standing non-goal; the Booth is
LAN-internal and a hand-written `.booth.json` is a supported input.
## Invariants
**INV-1 — one resolver for the manifest.** `read_manifest(booth)` is the only
