Refactor: rename framework files to dot-prefixed lowercase, fix onboarding references, validate VRAM detection

- Rename AGENT.md -> .agent.md, RULES.md -> .rules.md, ONBOARDING.md -> .onboarding.md
- Rename BUG_REPORT.md -> .bug_report.md, ADVERSARIAL_BUG_REPORT.md -> .adversarial_bug_report.md, VERDICT.md -> .verdict.md
- Fix onboarding.md references to use new .onboarding.md path
- Fix stop-hook-pattern.md reference to use .onboarding.md
- Update README.md, config.md, install.sh, update.sh, prompts/*, references/*
- VRAM detection script validated and working

The agent will automatically:
1. Detect your project type (New, Existing, or Upgrade).
2. Create the `./.agent-framework/` directory.
3. Generate your `AGENT.md` and `RULES.md` files.
2. Create the `./.automaton/` directory.
3. Generate your `.agent.md` and `.rules.md` files.
4. Initiate the "Exploration Ritual" to understand your codebase.
### Option B: The Manual Way
If you prefer to set it up manually, create a `.agent-framework/` directory in your project root and add:
- `AGENT.md`: Project-specific configuration (Mode, rules, etc.).
- `RULES.md`: Project-specific constraints and past failure modes.
If you prefer to set it up manually, create a `.automaton/` directory in your project root and add:

The framework uses a **layered approach** to file management, with a clear precedence:
1. **Project overrides** (highest precedence): `{project}/.agent-framework/` — contains project-specific customizations
2. **Global framework** (default): `~/.agent-framework/` — contains the base framework files
1. **Project overrides** (highest precedence): `{project}/.automaton/` — contains project-specific customizations
2. **Global framework** (default): `~/.automaton/` — contains the base framework files
**Precedence rule**: If a file exists in the project's `.agent-framework/` directory, the Orchestrator reads it from there. If it doesn't exist, the Orchestrator reads it from the global `~/.agent-framework/` directory.
**Precedence rule**: If a file exists in the project's `.automaton/` directory, the Orchestrator reads it from there. If it doesn't exist, the Orchestrator reads it from the global `~/.automaton/` directory.
### What files belong in each layer?
- **Project's `.agent-framework/`**: AGENT.md (project-specific settings like Autopilot mode, rules override), RULES.md (project-specific constraints)
- **Global `~/.agent-framework/`**: All prompt files, contracts, scripts, config.md, workflow.md
- **Project's `.automaton/`**: .agent.md (project-specific settings like Autopilot mode, rules override), .rules.md (project-specific constraints)
