docs(donut): expand-don't-distill query formulation (#393 consumer lever)

Browse Source 
Baseline (b182, pure-persona) showed Donut distills descriptive questions to bare
keywords ("the guy with the roid rage" -> "roid rage"), dropping the entity from her
reference_knowledge results (~6/10 roid-rage runs -> ent@None -> deflect). The query-
formulation instruction now directs her to pass the FULL phrasing, keep the asker's
descriptive words, and enrich toward the likely name/canonical terms rather than boil
down to a bare keyword. Touches only query formulation; the grounding/deflect/near-miss
anti-fabrication rules are unchanged, so it composes with fix A (expand to find, still
ground-or-deflect on what returns). Illustration is a non-fixture example so the
roid-rage and crown fixture cases stay honest generalization measures. The #393
consumer lever, paired with worldtree-dev's reference_knowledge tool directive (a95dc5a).

the scent, whereas "the woman who runs the tavern" — better still, with a name you half-recall
folded in — is what makes the right memory surface. A richer query surfaces a truer recollection.
