chore: fill derivable placeholders, drop false ARCHITECTURE, surface the rest

Estate top-up pass. Three separate things, none of which invents a value.

FILLED — every token with a single mechanical answer: OWNER, REPO, FORGE,
PROJECT, PACKAGE_NAME, PROJECT_NAME, AUTHOR, AUTHOR_EMAIL, CONDUCT_EMAIL,
AUTHOR_FIRST/LAST/INITIALS, CURRENT_YEAR, CURRENT_DATE, DATE, MAIN_BRANCH.
Identity comes from the git remote, dates from the clock, project name from the
README H1 where there is one.

Deliberately NOT filled, because more than one defensible answer exists and a
confident wrong value is worse than a visible gap: SECURITY_EMAIL (two competing
addresses are in use across the estate), RESPONSE_TIME, CONDUCT_TEAM (which
substitutes into "a {{CONDUCT_TEAM}} member", not English), WEBSITE,
PROJECT_DESCRIPTION, LANG_STACK.

DELETED — ARCHITECTURE.md, where it is byte-identical to the 346-copy estate
boilerplate (blob 607e3d8). Those 33 lines describe a src/ tests/ docs/
scripts/ config/ tree that this repo does not have, so the file is not merely
uninformative, it is wrong. Genuinely written ARCHITECTURE files are matched by
hash and left alone. No file beats a confidently false one.

CODEOWNERS — rewritten to the solo form mandated by
hyperpolymath/standards CODEOWNERS-POLICY.adoc Rule 1, which forbids a catch-all
line where the only owner is the sole maintainer. The estate's own
templates/CODEOWNERS contradicts that policy; the policy is versioned, dated and
resolves standards#55, so it wins. Files naming a genuine co-owner are Rule 2
and are untouched. Note @hyperpolymath and @metadatastician are the same person,
so a file naming the other account is a copy artifact that silently routed
review requests to the wrong account.

SURFACED — REQUIRES_INITIALISATION.md, and a priority action in
0-AI-MANIFEST.a2ml. Tokens that need a decision no script can make are left
visibly unfilled rather than faked or quietly deleted. The marker says what each
one is, which files it belongs in, why it was not done already, and that it must
be deleted only once the work is genuinely finished.
