v1 acceptance: the setup contract walked end to end

[jerome-queck]

Parent

Spec: Syrax v1

What to build

The whole, demoed: the public setup and configuration documents updated to the real contract, then
walked from a clean state directory to a working system where every chat answers. This is the
spec's acceptance pass — the ticket that proves the pieces are one system rather than twelve.

Acceptance criteria

• The public setup and configuration documents describe the real contract end to end, including the file whose loss orphans the carriers.
• A walkthrough from a clean state directory reaches a working system with every chat answering.
• The documented contract and the deployed configuration have zero drift.
