Scott Idem 860cf80a4e Documentation Standardisation & Unit Test Stabilization
- Overhauled README.md to serve as a unified system index and WIP tracker.
- Standardized documentation filenames (ARCH__, GUIDE__, PLAN__) for better discoverability.
- Archived completed project plans and scopes.
- Fixed regressions in unit tests (errors, models, email) caused by V3 architectural updates.
- Ensured unit tests remain non-destructive and environment-independent via mocking.
