Every audience-facing doc now has two clearly separated voices — a civic-staff (plain-English) section and an IT/technical section with architecture drawings.

  • User Manual — Part 1 (civic staff) + Part 2 (IT) with 3 Mermaid diagrams (deployment, trust-flow sequence, data-model ER), full API table, security, ops.
  • Landing page (docs/index.html) — civic panels + a "For IT & technical staff" section with an inline SVG deployment diagram.
  • README / README.txt — two-voice split; the .txt carries an ASCII architecture sketch. USER-MANUAL.txt mirrors the two-part structure.
  • Discussion posts — civic-staff set + technical set (with a Mermaid diagram and v0.4.0 change summary).

Also corrects stale facts (SQLite-as-default, missing /analyze, write token, audit events) to match shipped v0.4.0.

An adversarial 3-lens doc review (accuracy-vs-code, consistency/honesty, clerk readability) ran before this PR; the technical lens confirmed the docs match the code, and all findings (1 data-model diagram drift + clerk-jargon polish) were fixed. verify-docs + version-surface gates pass locally.

…th architecture diagrams

All audience-facing docs now have a clearly separated civic-staff (plain English)
section and an IT/technical section with architecture drawings:

- USER-MANUAL.md: Part 1 (civic staff) + Part 2 (IT) with 3 Mermaid diagrams
  (deployment, trust-flow sequence, data-model ER), full API table, security, ops.
- docs/index.html: civic panels + a "For IT & technical staff" section with an
  inline SVG deployment diagram and an at-a-glance table.
- README.md / README.txt: two-voice split; README.txt carries an ASCII architecture
  sketch. USER-MANUAL.txt mirrors the two-part structure in plain text.
- docs/github-discussions-seed.md: civic-staff posts + technical posts (with a
  Mermaid diagram and a v0.4.0 change summary).

Also corrects stale facts the old docs carried (SQLite-as-default, missing /analyze,
the write token, and audit events) to match the shipped v0.4.0 behavior.

Adversarial 3-lens doc review (accuracy-vs-code, consistency/honesty, clerk
readability) run before commit; all findings fixed: added the missing `disclaimer`
column to the data-model diagram; removed "token"/raw-URL-path jargon from the
clerk sections (now "staff password" + named surfaces); fixed a landing-page
overclaim ("every check" -> "every review you save"); quoted Mermaid edge labels.
