docs: host-session and agent-watching discovery

[charliek]

Summary

Discovery notes only — no product commitment and no vision.md / AGENT_ROADMAP.md edits.

• docs/discovery/host-sessions.md — opt-in persist and SSH: roost-session, iced as a smart libghostty client, Superlogical-shaped attach, phased execution (localhost first, SSH second, optional later default flip).
• docs/discovery/agent-watching.md — expanding agent coverage (hooks + screen/process fallback) without blocking host sessions.
• mkdocs.yml exclude_docs: discovery/ so these notes stay in git but are not built into the public site.

Test plan

• uv run mkdocs build succeeds; site-build/discovery is not produced
• Nav and published pages unchanged

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Documentation
  • Added internal discovery notes covering host sessions, agent state detection, architecture options, implementation phases, and open questions.
  • Added an overview directing future recommendations and decision updates to relevant feature work.
  • Configured the documentation site to exclude discovery notes from public builds.

Inline comments:
In `@docs/discovery/agent-watching.md`:
- Around line 155-159: Update the Herdr licensing guidance to specify that
copied or modified files retain the Herdr LICENSE and copyright notices,
identify modifications, and note that the current upstream repository has no
NOTICE file; require verifying the exact upstream revision before import, and
clarify that idea-only reuse distributes no Herdr files.

In `@docs/discovery/host-sessions.md`:
- Around line 173-174: Define a single versioned attach contract in the
host-sessions documentation covering the reattach sequence, exact ordering of
current screen, scrollback, and live PTY bytes, and the buffering or
sequence-number fence that prevents loss or duplication. Align the READY flow
and the version/capability handshake sections with this contract, including
behavior for unsupported payload versions.
- Around line 369-377: Update the roost-session documentation to define its
endpoint trust boundary: specify the socket owner, 0600 permissions, per-user
directory permissions, same-UID peer authorization, and restrictions on SSH
forwarding. If roost-ipc::IpcServer is reused, require these controls to apply
to roost-session, including explicit peer authentication beyond its existing
0600 mode.
