docs: the recurring upstream sync, its standing resolutions, and a guard on where the delta lives (#200)
The third child of #197, written immediately after performing the sync it
describes, while the findings are still first-hand.

docs/UPSTREAM-SYNC.md carries the procedure and the six standing resolutions,
each with the issue that decided it, so they are not re-argued every sync. The
parts that are not obvious from the outside, and that the 0.6.0 sync paid to
learn:

  * THE AUDIT STEP. `git merge` takes upstream's side wherever only upstream
    moved a region, so a function upstream ADDED to a file this tree owns
    arrives with no conflict and no question. Reviewing the hunks cannot find
    it — four reviewers read the same diff and each found a different subset.
    That was eight runtime `gh` call sites in three files and two file types.

  * THE SAME MECHANIC APPLIES TO STATE. A resolved region can remove a producer
    whose consumers auto-merged, and those consumers degrade to empty rather
    than erroring, so nothing goes red. Three such seams in one sync.

  * VERIFY WHERE IT RUNS. "Green locally" was wrong three times, for three
    different reasons: shellcheck-all lints TRACKED files so a new file's first
    lint is meaningless; CI pins shellcheck 0.10.0; and the runner's jq 1.6
    exits 0 where 1.7 exits 4 on `jq -e` with empty input — which was not a
    test problem but a guard accepting an unreadable read.

  * TEST THE MERGE RESULT. Forgejo tests heads, never what two branches produce
    together, and two green PRs did produce a red tree in this sync.

  * AFTER MERGING, CHECK THE SWEEP RECONCILED SOMETHING. The first post-merge
    run was green and had done nothing.

.upstream-ref records the carried commit in machine-readable form beside the
CHANGELOG's prose. test/upstream-delta.test.sh asserts every forge-DECIDING
file is named in the inventory — offline, comment-aware, and refusing rather
than skipping when the ref is missing. Shim CONSUMERS are allowed by name, so
a seventh consumer is silent and a seventh decider is not.

docs/CONSUMERS.md now states that two ceremonies answer to the same version
number and how a consumer says which one it pinned.

Must-fail, both from the issue's test plan: scattering a forge_detect branch
into an unlisted file reds the guard; blanking .upstream-ref reds it too.

test/run.sh 29 files 0 failed under jq 1.7 and jq 1.6; shellcheck 0.10.0,
actionlint, self-ref, marker, vendored and changelog-armed all clean.

changelog.d/ — the next release's section, one fragment per issue

Machine-assembled by bin/changelog-assemble (#112): every PR that changes behavior writes one file here — <issue>.md, the exact prose that will be published, nothing else — and the release PR folds them all into the next ## X.Y.Z — DATE section of CHANGELOG.md, consuming them. Distinct filenames never conflict, which is this directory's whole reason to exist. This README is the marker that keeps the directory tracked when it holds no fragments (#112 D1) — changelog-armed refuses a tree without it; do not delete it. The shape sentinel beside it declares the set's shape — grouped here, so every fragment carries ### headings (#182).
