Delete the smolmachines backend (the whole bot_bottle/backend/smolmachines
package and its tests). It had fatal Linux issues (TSI networking under
sustained use, exec-channel contention, no SIGWINCH) and is superseded by
the Firecracker backend (issue #342).
Backend selection now:
- default is macos-container on macOS, firecracker on KVM-capable Linux
hosts, and docker as the last resort (was smolmachines).
- firecracker is selected on a KVM host even when the `firecracker`
binary isn't installed, so start routes through its preflight and
prints an install pointer (same UX as require_container), instead of
silently falling back. Split is_host_capable() (Linux + KVM) out of
is_available() (adds the binary check) to drive this.
Retarget the cross-backend tests (parity, print-parity, prepare,
workspace, freezer, selection) from smolmachines to firecracker rather
than dropping the coverage. Remove docker.util.image_id/save, which only
smolmachines used. Update README/AGENTS/example bottles and stale
comments; historical docs/prds are left as a point-in-time record.
BREAKING: BOT_BOTTLE_BACKEND=smolmachines now errors as unknown.

Implements #213: PRDs use prd-new-<slug>.md while a PR is open; a
post-merge workflow on main assigns sequential numbers and renames the
file. A required PR check blocks prd-new-*.md from landing on main
without going through the workflow.

- Remove bot-bottle.demo.json (unused artifact from pre-YAML-migration era)
- Update AGENTS.md to reflect current manifest system (YAML markdown in ~/.bot-bottle/)
- Fix stale docstring in test_docker_bottle.py that referenced superseded PRD 0021

Replace the two thin "docs live in …" lines with the conventions the
docs/ READMEs establish: the three document types (PRD / research note
/ decision record) with their numbering and the PRD Status lifecycle,
plus the cross-cutting rule that decision rationale stays self-contained
in the repo rather than in Gitea issue threads. Points at the per-folder
READMEs as the source of truth instead of duplicating them.

Document what research notes are (opinionated investigations of a
question/design space), their unnumbered kebab-case naming, and their
loose verdict-first shape — explicitly freeform, not a template. Point
the AGENTS.md research line at it.

Remove the one-line docs/INDEX.md (its directory pointers are covered
by docs/README.md's "when to write which document" table). Add
docs/prds/README.md documenting the PRD naming, Status lifecycle, and
section format. Repoint the AGENTS.md repository-layout list at the
new READMEs and add the decisions/ dir.

Delete CLAUDE.md in favor of AGENTS.md as the orientation doc, rebrand
the project from Codex-bottle to provider-agnostic bot-bottle, and
repoint every CLAUDE.md reference across PRDs, research notes, the
implementer agent example, and the yaml_subset comment.
