Merge branch 'main' into feature/techlog-ui-migration

Integrates the frontend template sync (a0fbafb → 5434760) into the TechLog UI
migration. Merged in this direction so every conflict is resolved and proved in
the worktree; main is only fast-forwarded afterwards and never holds a state
that was not verified here.

15 conflicts. The rule throughout: keep the template's mechanism, keep the
product's content, and never invent a third state neither branch would accept.

The template's product manifest and its runtime feature kill switch are adopted.
The route registry is deliberately not composed from contract.routes: the
reference feature still declares screens this product deleted, and reducing over
them would register paths with no component behind them. ROUTE_FEATURE_OWNER is
narrowed to registered routes for the same reason. The first resolution did
compose from contract.routes and was rejected by product-features.test.ts.

Three files pinned counts and a digest describing the gate contract. Neither
side's numbers describe the merged config/ci/gates.json, so they were recomputed
from it rather than chosen: 27 gates, 82 commands, 94 command references, 107
evidence references, 128 artifacts, shape sha256 5063586d.

README.md and docs/accessibility/manual-checklist.md now enumerate this
product's 27 routes, which the template's own verify:documentation requires.

product-feature-switch.test.tsx was rewritten around the invariant that still
applies here — no registered route without a component — rather than deleted
with the screens it used to exercise.

docs/operations/template-merge-2026-08-17.md records every decision, the gate
results, and the three follow-ups this merge deliberately did not decide.
