Phillip Tarrant ac8da4e6da feat(content): reparent disposition-ladder to mechanics.md; purge Duncarrow

Move rule.disposition-ladder into content/lore/mechanics.md and delete the
Duncarrow scaffolding (source + 23 generated JSON). Remove the redundant
test_duncarrow.py (routing/secrecy already covered by test_emit.py synthetic
fixtures); repoint a cosmetic slug-test id.

MECHANICS — canonical world rules (mechanical, not lore)

Home for mechanical rule.* entries the dialogue/engine layer depends on. rule.disposition-ladder lives here (moved from the retired duncarrow.md scaffolding); it is the required-exactly-once gate vocabulary every NPC knowledge-gate references.

id: rule.disposition-ladder
type: rule
status: canon
secrecy: 0
related: []
rungs: [hostile, cold, neutral, warm, trusted]
body: >
  NPC trust toward the player is one of five ordered states:
  hostile < cold < neutral < warm < trusted. Where a given player sits with a
  given NPC is runtime state owned by code. The ladder itself is canon. Every
  knowledge-link gate references one of these five names, plus the special
  gate `never` (fact is known but never revealed through dialogue at any rung).
