docs: map Kun Chen dotfiles + agentic setup as advisory (Windows adaptation)

Maps L8 Meta/Microsoft engineer's Nix-based Mac dotfiles setup
for Windows adaptation. 10 tool mappings, 6 key takeaways.
Validates TRUTH.md reproducibility, flat-ledger state pattern,
worktree-isolation agent isolation. No vendoring.

- **GRC_Claw** (2 ★, MIT): Agent Policy Firewall + attestation ledger. Same governance problem. Advisory.
- `browser-harness-engineering-advisory-map-20260705.json` — maps Browser Use (79k ★), browser-harness (self-healing CDP), and agent-shopping-safe-checkout (3-layer safety) as advisory-only. Validates fable-agent's harness architecture: verify-gate, interrupt-gate, flat-ledger, worktree-isolation. 8 pattern mappings. No vendoring.
- `cmux-herdr-multi-agent-orchestration-advisory-map-20260705.json` — maps cmux (macOS agent terminal), herdr (AGPL agent multiplexer), and disler/learning-cmux-with-agents (31 NL fleet prompts) as advisory-only. 12 pattern mappings. Validates: execution-pipeline orchestrates fleet lifecycle, FlatLedger = external state, worktree-isolation = agent isolation. No vendoring.
- `kunchen-dotfiles-advisory-map-20260705.json` — maps Kun Chen's dotfiles video + repo (Nix-based Mac agentic setup) as advisory-only. Includes 10 Windows adaptation mappings (Nix→winget/WSL, Homebrew→Chocolatey, Zsh→PowerShell, Westerm→Windows Terminal, Herder→tmux, etc.). Validates: TRUTH.md reproducibility pattern, flat-ledger.ts global memory pattern, worktree-isolation.ts agent isolation pattern. No vendoring.

"Global agent memory file (agents.md) is the same pattern as fable-agent flat-ledger.ts: state outside LLM context.",
"Herder multiplexer validates worktree-isolation.ts: agents need isolation, and seeing agent status at a glance is critical.",
