zernie ea9a0a693d chore: retire buggy legacy evals; document the faithful reproduce command (#62)
* Retire buggy legacy evals; document the faithful reproduce command

The bench/evals caveman-claim + ecosystem-pilot evals used the old bare-SKILL.md
delivery (dropped in the run cwd, which Claude Code never registers), so the
skill never loaded — and their docstrings still broadcast the resulting
discredited numbers (output up, costs more, ~1% bill) that contradict the
corrected canonical run in bench/ecosystem/FINDINGS.md.

- Delete bench/evals/caveman-claim.eval.mjs and ecosystem-pilot.eval.mjs. They
  are fully superseded by bench/ecosystem/benchmark.mjs, which installs skills the
  faithful way (--plugin-dir + activation hook) over the same corpus.
- Repoint every reference (corpus + CLAUDE.md.spec.ts + benchmark header +
  headroom-pilot header + research/roadmap + research/benchmark-methodology) to
  the faithful benchmark / FINDINGS.md, and refresh roadmap's stale numbers to the
  corrected finding (~6% output cut, pooled bill flat, output ~20% of the dollar bill).
- Regenerate CLAUDE.md from the spec (fresh integrity hash).
- Add bench/ecosystem/README.md documenting the reproduce commands (cheap pilot +
  the published 7x5 Sonnet run), named explicitly so there is no accidental
  full-manifest fan-out.

Verified: npm run build, vigiles self-lint (integrity + refs, exit 0), prettier --check.

* Remove remaining buggy-era pilots: headroom-pilot eval + launch-article draft

- Delete bench/evals/headroom-pilot.eval.mjs — same June-2026 bare-SKILL.md
  delivery bug as the retired caveman/ecosystem pilots (skill never registers).
  Not superseded content-wise (it measured correctness-lift, a distinct claim),
  but the delivery is broken; rebuild faithfully if headroom becomes a priority.
- Delete research/launch-article-draft.md — a publicly-visible early draft of the
  now-published, corrected article, still carrying the discredited pre-correction
  numbers. Remove its index entry (research/README.md) and Key-File entry
  (research/CLAUDE.md.spec.ts) + recompile research/CLAUDE.md.

Verified: vigiles self-lint (integrity + refs) exit 0, prettier --check.
