docs(core): refine project intelligence system and deprecate legacy context (#93)

* feat(context): Add project intelligence system

- Add project-intelligence.md standard (what & why)
- Add project-intelligence-management.md guide (how to manage)
- Add project-intelligence/ folder with 6 context files:
  - navigation.md (quick overview & routes)
  - business-domain.md (business context, users, value)
  - technical-domain.md (stack, architecture, decisions)
  - business-tech-bridge.md (business → technical mapping)
  - decisions-log.md (decision history with context)
  - living-notes.md (active issues, debt, questions)
- Update standards navigation with new entries
- Register all new contexts in registry.json

This enables projects to document and maintain business + technical
context for quick onboarding and lasting project understanding.

* fix(registry): Add project-intelligence to profiles

- Add context:project-intelligence/* to developer, business, full, and advanced profiles
- Ensures project intelligence contexts are included when these profiles are selected

This complements commit c731328 which added the context entries.

* docs(core): refine project intelligence system and deprecate legacy context

+# Project Intelligence Management
+
+> **What**: How to manage project intelligence files and folders.
+> **When**: Use this guide when adding, updating, or removing intelligence files.
+> **Related**: See `project-intelligence.md` for what and why.
+
+## Quick Reference
+
+| Action | Do This |
+|--------|---------|
+| Update existing file | Edit + bump frontmatter version |
+| Add new file | Create `.md` + add to navigation.md |
+| Add subfolder | Create folder + `navigation.md` + update parent nav |
+| Remove file | Rename `.deprecated.md` + archive, don't delete |
+
+---
+
+## Update Existing Files
+
+**When**:
+- Business changes → Update `business-domain.md`
+- New decision → Add to `decisions-log.md`
+- New issues → Update `living-notes.md`
+- Feature launch → Update `business-tech-bridge.md`
+- Stack changes → Update `technical-domain.md`
+
+**Process**:
+1. Edit the file
+2. Update frontmatter:
+   ```html
+   <!-- Context: {category} | Priority: {level} | Version: {X.Y} | Updated: {YYYY-MM-DD} -->
+   ```
+3. Keep under 200 lines
+4. Commit with message like: `docs: Update business-domain.md with new market focus`
+
+---
+
+## Add New Files
+
+**When**:
+- New domain area needs dedicated docs
+- Existing file exceeds 200 lines
+- Specialized context requires separation
+
+**Naming**:
+- Kebab-case: `user-research.md`, `api-docs.md`
+- Descriptive: filename tells you what's inside
+
+**Template**:
+```html
+<!-- Context: project-intelligence/{filename} | Priority: {high|medium} | Version: 1.0 | Updated: {YYYY-MM-DD} -->
+
+# File Title
+
+> One-line purpose statement
+
+## Quick Reference
+
+- **Purpose**: [What this covers]
+- **Update When**: [Triggers]
+- **Related Files**: [Links]
+
+## Content
+
+[Follow patterns from existing files]
+
+## Related Files
+
+- [File 1] - [Description]
+```
+
+**Process**:
+1. Create file in `project-intelligence/`
+2. Add frontmatter with `project-intelligence/{filename}`
+3. Follow existing file patterns
+4. Keep under 200 lines
+5. Add to `navigation.md`
+
+---
+
+## Create Subfolders
+
+**When**:
+- 5+ related files need grouping
+- Subdomain warrants separation (e.g., `api/`, `mobile/`, `integrations/`)
+- Improves navigation clarity
+
+**Structure**:
+```
+project-intelligence/
+├── navigation.md           # Root nav
+├── [new-subfolder]/        # Create this
+│   ├── navigation.md       # Subfolder nav required
+│   ├── file-1.md
+│   └── file-2.md
+```
+
+**Process**:
+1. Create folder: `mkdir project-intelligence/{name}/`
+2. Create `navigation.md` inside:
+   ```html
+   <!-- Context: project-intelligence/{name}/nav | Priority: medium | Version: 1.0 | Updated: {YYYY-MM-DD} -->
+   
+   # {Name} Navigation
+   
+   > Quick overview
+   
+   ## Files
+   
+   | File | Purpose |
+   |------|---------|
+   | `file-1.md` | [Desc] |
+   ```
+3. Add content files
+4. Update root `navigation.md` with subfolder entry
+
+**Rule**: Every subfolder MUST have `navigation.md`. Avoid nesting deeper than 2 levels (e.g., `project-intelligence/domain/subdomain/`) to prevent context fragmentation.
+
+---
+
+## Remove/Deprecate Files
+
+**When**:
+- Content moved elsewhere
+- File no longer relevant
+- Merged with another file
+
+**Process**:
+1. Rename: `filename.md` → `filename.deprecated.md`
+2. Add frontmatter:
+   ```html
+   <!-- DEPRECATED: {YYYY-MM-DD} - {Reason} -->
+   <!-- REPLACED BY: {new-file.md} -->
+   ```
+3. Add banner at top:
+   > ⚠️ **DEPRECATED**: See `new-file.md` for current info
+4. Mark as deprecated in `navigation.md`
+
+**Never Delete**:
+- Decision history (archive instead)
+- Lessons learned (move to `living-notes.md`)
+- Context that might be needed later
+
+---
+
+## Version Tracking
+
+**Frontmatter**:
+```html
+<!-- Context: {category} | Priority: {level} | Version: {MAJOR.MINOR} | Updated: {YYYY-MM-DD} -->
+```
+
+**Version Rules**:
+| Change | Version |
+|--------|---------|
+| New file | 1.0 |
+| Content addition/update | MINOR |
+| Structure change | MAJOR |
+| Typo fix | PATCH |
+
+**Date**: Always `YYYY-MM-DD`
+
+---
+
+## Quality Standards
+
+**Line Limits**:
+- Files: <200 lines
+- Sections: 3-7 per file
+
+**Required Elements**:
+- Frontmatter with all fields
+- Quick Reference section
+- Related files section
+
+**Anti-Patterns**:
+❌ Mix concerns in one file
+❌ Exceed 200 lines
+❌ Delete files (archive instead)
+❌ Skip frontmatter
+❌ Duplicate information
+
+✅ Keep focused and scannable
+✅ Archive deprecated content
+✅ Use frontmatter consistently

+# Project Intelligence
+
+> **What**: Living documentation that bridges business domain and technical implementation.
+> **Why**: Quick project understanding and onboarding for developers, agents, and stakeholders.
+> **Where**: `.opencode/context/project-intelligence/` (dedicated folder)
+
+## Quick Reference
+
+| What You Need | File | Description |
+|---------------|------|-------------|
+| Understand the "why" | `business-domain.md` | Problem, users, value |
+| Understand the "how" | `technical-domain.md` | Stack, architecture |
+| See the connection | `business-tech-bridge.md` | Business → technical mapping |
+| Know the context | `decisions-log.md` | Why decisions were made |
+| Current state | `living-notes.md` | Active issues, debt, questions |
+
+## Why This Exists
+
+Projects fail when:
+- Business intent is lost in code
+- Technical decisions aren't documented with context
+- New members spend weeks instead of hours understanding the project
+- Context lives only in people's heads (who leave)
+
+This ensures **business and technical domains speak the same language**.
+
+## Structure

+## Onboarding Checklist
+
+For new team members or agents:
+
+- [ ] Read `navigation.md` (this file)
+- [ ] Read `business-domain.md` to understand the "why"
+- [ ] Read `technical-domain.md` to understand the "how"
+- [ ] Review `business-tech-bridge.md` to see the connection
+- [ ] Check `decisions-log.md` for context on key choices
+- [ ] Review `living-notes.md` for current state
+- [ ] Explore codebase with this context loaded
+
+## How to Keep This Alive
+
+| Trigger | Action |
+|---------|--------|
+| Business direction shifts | Update `business-domain.md` |
+| New technical decision | Add to `decisions-log.md` |
+| New issues or debt | Update `living-notes.md` |
+| Feature launch | Update `business-tech-bridge.md` |
+| Stack changes | Update `technical-domain.md` |
+
+**Full Management Guide**: See `.opencode/context/core/standards/project-intelligence-management.md`
