docs: mark phases A and 0 complete, record two deliberate deviations

Phase 0 is done: commits 6df2f20, 1580504, 0722f1a, 643cdd5 in the
server-management repository, tests 37 -> 58.

Two items were not implemented as the plan specified, and the reasons are
recorded rather than left as silent gaps.

The plan called for .pi/SYSTEM.md to list seven tools. Phase 0's agent genuinely
has none, and naming tools that do not exist invites the model to call them, so
the deployed file states the absence instead. The tool-bearing specification is
kept in §4b.

The plan called for CURATOR_HOST to be narrowed to a specific LAN address and for
IPAddressDeny=any. Neither is safe here: the journal shows real traffic from both
the LAN and 127.0.0.1, so narrowing the bind address breaks one of them, and the
main service needs egress to Telegram and the model provider, which
IPAddressDeny would cut. The real fix is authentication, already tracked as P2-6.

+

+
+## 三个结论
+
+**1. `--skill` 确实是空操作，在真实生产配置上得到确认。**
+改动前那一列里，`--skill` 明确指向了 64 行的 `curator-media/SKILL.md`，而
+`available_skills=false`、`SKILLNAMES=[]`。那份媒体策略从未进入过系统提示。
+原因是 pi 只在存在**激活的 `read` 工具**时生成 skills 段落
+（`dist/core/system-prompt.js:59,113`），而 `--no-tools` 关掉了全部工具。
+服务上线以来一直如此，README 与部署手册描述的机制并未发生。
+
+**2. 只有 `-nc` 能阻断父目录污染。**
+改动前，workspace 自己的 `AGENTS.md` 和父目录 `/home/claw/pi-workspaces/AGENTS.md`
+的标记**都**进入了系统提示。加 `--no-context-files` 后两者都消失。
+`AGENTS.override.md` 做不到这件事（另见 `pi-runtime-notes.md` §9）。
+
+**3. 系统提示变长了，这是修复的结果而不是代价。**
+2548 → 3539 字符。改动前那 2548 里，约 1.9 KB 是 pi 的编码助手框架、工具纪律和
+pi 文档指引 —— 对一个书影音 agent 全是噪音甚至风险（文档指引是注入文本的现成
+提权路径）；真正属于 Curator 的领域策略一个字都没有。改动后这 3539 全部是
+Curator 自己的内容。
+
+> 这一点纠正了本仓库 README 早先的写法。`isolation-probe.md` 里那个 960 字符
+> 是用一个几行的 stub `SYSTEM.md` 测出来的，用来演示替换机制；把它当成
+> Curator 的实际数字就成了误导。机制结论（skills 依赖 `read`）成立，
+> "缩小 72%" 这个说法不适用于真实的 Curator 系统提示。
