joakimp d2764bf78e docs: take the Phase 1 exposure record private, leave a moved-note
463 lines with 64 mentions of specific hosts, in a public repo: the primary and
tunnel hosts by name, the registrar/DNS step, the tunnel resource wiring, shared
token custody, per-machine flip dates, and a palace lineage naming three work
machines. Now in the private fleet repo (fleet-ops 093fb65); this file becomes a
moved-note in the shape docs/synlig-primary-runbook.md already established.

Git history keeps the old text, so this limits future exposure rather than
undoing it.

Unlike the primary-host runbook, this file was MIXED — and the stub says so
instead of quietly implying the toolkit still documents HTTP exposure. §1.1-§1.3
(why one shared fleet token rather than per-device proxy users, and the one place
per-device identity does exist), §2 (the bind trap and the Host/Origin pin) and
§3.7 (a client is flipped by three env vars that travel as a set) are reusable
mechanism now published nowhere else. Named in the stub so the extraction is
tracked debt rather than a silent loss, and named in the private copy too so
whoever extracts it can delete the duplicate.

Inbound references fixed rather than left pointing at content that moved: two
§3.8 pointers in extensions/pi/README.md are replaced by the instruction they
were pointing at (the palace path reported by mempalace_status must be the
remote host's — a half-flipped client looks healthy while reporting a local
path), and the bind-trap reference is replaced by the Host/Origin sentence
itself, so the extension README no longer depends on the moved file. contrib
also loses a hostname and a seeding date it did not need to make its point.

(moved) primary-host runbook

This file used to contain the deployment runbook for one specific primary host — its hostname, addresses, user, service wiring and rollback steps.

That content now lives in a private repository, because a host inventory is operator data for one deployment, not part of the toolkit. This repository is public and keeps only host-agnostic mechanism.

What lives where:

Content Home
How this deployment was exposed over HTTP (tunnel, DNS, token custody) private fleet repository — see phase-1-exposure-runbook.md, also moved
Why a palace needs a special backup, and how to restore one docs/backup-and-recovery.md (here)
Unit/timer/plist templates contrib/ (here)
Which machine is primary, its addresses, users, tunnels, offsite target private fleet repository
Per-host feeder device names and schedules private fleet repository

If you are looking for the mechanism, the two runbooks above are the same procedures with <PRIMARY_HOST> and <USER> in place of one site's specifics.
