docs(P55): rewrite PROJECT/ROADMAP/decks to verified reality; unfreeze decks

PROJECT.md gains a 'Capability Status (Re-Verified 2026-07-27)' section
after Domain Boundaries: decay disclosure, the 16 auto-verified
capabilities table, the 6 IAM-gated escalated resources, and the
regression-gate note. ROADMAP.md v1.9.8 entry annotated 'Last
deck-polish phase before the v1.10 deck-freeze'; new v1.10 overview
entry noting v1.9.1-v1.9.8 are 'superseded-by-reverification'. Both
leadership decks disclose the 2026-07-27 re-verification in their
maturity-framing headers, citing .ciagent/CAPABILITY_INVENTORY.md as
the source of truth.

No 'shipped'/'Available today' claims remain that aren't backed by a
Verified capability or an explicit escalation note. The 6 IAM-gated
cloud resources (contracts table, Lambda, ECS service, CloudFront
stack, uptime-kuma, OIDC role) are explicitly listed as escalated,
not silently omitted.

Decks unfrozen. v1.10.0 ready to tag.

+> runs against the live AWS account (581513795199).
+
+**Decay disclosure.** Capabilities marked complete in v1.1–v1.8 ran
+successfully at the time of tagging. As of 2026-07-27 they were **not
+reproducible** — the v1.7/v1.8 platform simplification introduced 7
+adapter defects that prevented `terraform init/validate/plan` from
+succeeding against live AWS, and the decks (v1.9.1–v1.9.8) presented
+the capability as current without disclosing the decay. The v1.10
+milestone (Phases 52–55) re-verified every advertised capability and
+fixed all 7 defects in-sweep (D-090: no cap). The headline E2E now
+passes at both tiers.
+
+**Auto-verified capabilities (16/16 Verified):**
+
+| ID | Capability | Tier | Status |
+|----|-----------|------|--------|
+| CAP-001..CAP-012 | contract schema, resolver, adapter, interpolation, confidence, outbox, pytest, run_ci, local E2E (microservice + static-assets) | local | Verified |
+| CAP-013 | terraform init+validate+plan live AWS (microservice) | live-aws | Verified |
+| CAP-014 | terraform init+validate+plan live AWS (static-assets: CloudFront+WAF+S3) | live-aws | Verified |
+| CAP-015 | DynamoDB outbox table exists + describable | live-aws | Verified |
+| CAP-016 | S3 state bucket exists + readable | live-aws | Verified |
+
+**IAM-gated cloud resources (6, escalated — not auto-verifiable):**
+CAP-017..CAP-022 (DynamoDB contracts table, Lambda contract-ingestor,
+ECS service live, CloudFront production stack, uptime-kuma, OIDC
+role). The `acdl-spike-runner` IAM user lacks the permissions to
+verify these (chicken-and-egg: it cannot fix its own IAM). The
+terraform plan path (CAP-013, CAP-014) proves the code would deploy
+them; the local emulators (Phase 53) prove the runtime behavior.
+Re-bootstrap of the OIDC role + IAM re-grant requires an admin
+principal — escalated, not silently skipped. See
+`CAPABILITY_INVENTORY.md` §"Cloud capabilities NOT re-verified".
+
+**Regression gate.** `bash scripts/run_regression.sh` re-runs all 16
+auto-verifiable capabilities and fails closed on any non-Verified
+result. The gate runs at milestone completion (D-091).
