Tianyi Cui 7c400e9c02 docs: unify ADR/RFC trees into one lifecycle-organized RFC tree
Collapse docs/adr/ and docs/rfc/ into a single docs/rfc/ with proposed/,
implemented/, and rejected/ subfolders. Every file is renamed to
yyyy-mm-dd-topic-title.md, where the date is when the topic was first
proposed (from git history). ADRs and RFCs that covered exactly the same
topic are merged (property-based testing, session persistence); the
umbrella RFC 005 stays split across its three implemented decisions, and
RFC 006's deferred part-3 (API extractor reports) splits into its own
proposed RFC. All cross-references become machine-checkable relative
links instead of bare "ADR NNNN" / "RFC NNN" prose.

Add a verify-md-links doc-sync gate (scripts/verify-md-links.ts) that
checks every relative Markdown cross-link resolves, wired into doc-sync
alongside verify-md-wrap. This makes the reorganization self-verifying:
the same change that rewrote ~forty inter-doc links adds the check that
proves none dangle. Document the cross-link convention in a new
docs/AGENTS.md and record the gate as an implemented RFC.

doc-sync, typecheck, lint, and the full test suite (667) all pass.

# RFC: Custom typed tool-schema DSL instead of schemastery
Status: implemented (accepted 2026-06-11)
<!-- XXX: legacy ADR/RFC body format, not yet normalized to a unified RFC template. -->
## Context
Tool parameters must reach the model as standard JSON Schema (the wire format), and tool authors deserve typed `execute(args)` without casts. The repo already vendors schemastery (used for plugin Config), so reusing it was the obvious candidate. The user also explicitly preferred per-property `required: true` booleans over JSON Schema's separate `required` array.
## Decision
A small custom DSL in dsh-tools: `SchemaSpec` (per-property specs with `required: true` booleans), type-level `InferArgs<S>` mapping a spec to the argument type (required keys non-optional, others genuinely optional via `?`), a runtime `schemaSpecToJsonSchema()` converter, and `defineTool()` tying them together. Raw JSON-Schema `ToolDefinition`s remain accepted by `ToolRegistry.register()` — that's how MCP-sourced tools arrive.
Schemastery was evaluated and rejected for this use: it targets validation / transformation against StandardSchema, not JSON Schema *generation*, so it would add indirection without producing the wire format cleanly.
## Consequences
- First-party tool authors get zero-cast typed args; the type gymnastics cost stays inside the core package (sanctioned by the AGENTS.md type-safety policy).
- The DSL is deliberately small (string/number/boolean/object/array, enum, default, nested properties/items). Gaps vs full JSON Schema (unions, formats, constraints) are accepted until real tools demand them.
- The InferArgs mapping is regression-tested at the type level (expectTypeOf) after an early optionality bug shipped and was caught by review.
