docs(P1): consumer guide accuracy fixes — REQ-276..281,290

- Step 3 contract fields table: stale uses/module → real id/name/environment/infrastructure (REQ-276)
- Step 4 caller: add environment: dev to match Step 2 (REQ-277)
- Step 5 stage 8: (dev only) → (autonomous in dev; higher envs apply after HITL) (REQ-278)
- Step 8: rewrite with Shape A destroy-then-rebuild + Shape B cross-ref (REQ-279)
- Per-env section: add Shape B lead sentence (REQ-280)
- Reference table: @v1.19 wording + .yaml→.yml extension fix (REQ-281)
- Tests: rename no-field-editing → both-promotion-shapes + new destroy-on-env-change test (REQ-290)

**What happens when you change `environment: dev` → `environment: qa`:**
the platform detects that the environment changed on a known contract `id`.
Before building the new environment, it **destroys the prior environment's
resources** (Terraform state key `spike/{id}/dev/`) and records an evidence
event for the destroy. Only then does it apply the new environment (state
key `spike/{id}/qa/`). **There is no orphan path** — if the destroy fails,
the pipeline fails closed (no apply runs, no resources are left behind).
This is full lifecycle management: the platform never creates a state
where prior-environment resources are abandoned.
Higher environments require human attestation (a platform-runner deployment
approval) and higher confidence thresholds. See [Environments](environments/)
for the full table.
> **Note:** the destroy-then-rebuild runs within the same AWS account (the
> current platform scaffold uses one account). Cross-account promotion
> (separate accounts per env) is a future milestone.
### Shape B — per-environment caller workflows (no editing)
Alternatively, keep one contract per environment (or one contract + the
`environment` workflow input) and run the matching CI job to promote. This
avoids the destroy step because each environment has its own state from the
first deploy. See [Per-environment deployment](#per-environment-deployment)
below for the full pattern.
