feat: add receipt provenance and feedback receipts

 This document mirrors `src/index.ts` command registration and is the canonical CLI reference.
 
+Trust boundary: live receipt > committed receipt > memory summary. Memory is advisory only; `8099/deploy` via git-proxy is the guarded deploy route, and `8098/deploy-webhook` is legacy/stale for fable-agent deploy trust.
