fix(star): its data lives under devlore/, like writ's - #921
Merged

Conversation
star is one of devlore's products, and its config and cache already said so; its data did not. The user scope becomes ~/.local/share/devlore/star/extensions, the system scope /usr/local/share/devlore/star/extensions, the self install target <prefix>/share/devlore/star/extensions, and the release archive share/devlore/star/extensions. Each old path is probed after its replacement so a machine holding both prefers the new one, and nothing breaks before writ redeploys or star is reinstalled; they go in #920. The design doc gains the model this settles: scopes come from star -- project, user, system, with embedded as packaging -- ownership comes from writ, and a repository's maintainer chooses which scope their extensions inhabit. It also corrects project scope's description: the root is found by walking up for .git, not read from an environment variable named GIT_WORKSPACE_ROOT, which does not exist.

Summary
Lane 15 of NobleFactor/noblefactor-ops#217, pass 1 of two. star is one of devlore's products, and its config and
cache already said so --
~/.config/devlore/config.d/star.yaml,~/.cache/devlore/star-- while its data sat besidedevlore/rather than in it.~/.local/share/star/extensions~/.local/share/devlore/star/extensions/usr/local/share/star/extensions/usr/local/share/devlore/star/extensionsself installtarget<prefix>/share/star/extensions<prefix>/share/devlore/star/extensionsshare/star/extensionsshare/devlore/star/extensionsEach old path is still probed, after its replacement, so a machine holding both prefers the new one and nothing
breaks before writ redeploys or star is reinstalled. Pass 2, #920, removes them.
Project scope does not move. A repository's own
star/extensionsis build tooling:make generatecallsstar devlore actions generate, andknowledge-extract.yamlcallsdevlore knowledge extract, both from a barecheckout with nothing deployed.
The design document gains the model this settles (
docs/architecture/star-extensions.md): scopes come from star-- project, user, system, with embedded as packaging -- ownership comes from writ, and a repository's maintainer
chooses which scope their extensions inhabit. It also drops a fiction: the Search Path table described project scope
as
${GIT_WORKSPACE_ROOT}, an environment variable that does not exist. The root is found by walking up for.git.Next, and required for the live path: a noblefactor-ops PR moves the base layer's
