docs: volition, planning, agency and cognitive research
New documents define goal, want, intention, commitment, plan, action, capability, authority, agency and introspection operationally, state prominently that no operational measure establishes phenomenal consciousness or sentience, and describe the rules, thresholds, events, inspection points and limits of each subsystem: - docs/volition.md: want derivation, reinforcement, decay and suppression, conflicts, formation and its outcomes, the intention–action gap, reconsideration, commitments and volition metacognition; - docs/planning.md: plans and step kinds, validation, strategies, the executor, observe–act–verify, replanning, budgets, operator attention, long-running work, restarts and duplicates; - docs/agency.md: the fifteen authority invariants and their tests, scoped authority, forensic why, attribution and the agency timeline; - docs/cognitive-research.md: operational definitions separating implementation property from philosophical interpretation, experiment protocols (global workspace, ablation, self-model, counterfactual, model comparison, conflict), every measure, introspection accuracy, metacognitive calibration and temporal self-continuity. Updated: interpretation table, capabilities (metadata, typed operations, scoped grants, requests), cognition, snapshots (fork authority), security and threat model (T14, T16, new T27–T29), architecture, README, changelog, release notes, ADR-0012 and ADR-0013, and PLAN.md §8.10 status. The unimplemented record_procedure internal step is removed from the vocabulary; procedural memory is recorded when a plan completes.
