Commit: Remove the architect role: the supervisor writes the briefs, the driver stops for it
Body: drive.nika loses drive_architect; CUT, BATCH DONE and a RED with no builder queued now wait for the batch’s suite and stop with ESCALATE <stop line>: the supervisor writes the next briefs (drive_stop); a RED with a builder queued goes on with it (the fix-forward brief); the focus rotation skips an empty area instead of asking. cycle.nika prints -> SUPERVISOR; agent.nika drops the architect tool set. docs/architect.md moved into docs/supervisor.md (roles, language decisions, filing defects, lanes, briefs and reports, batches, stages, State) and deleted with .claude/agents/architect.md; links repointed; Needs: architect decision is now Needs: supervisor decision.
Pushed: local 174a6c7a12f891d8449c7d45238a9a32ec2f9998
Tests: drive_actions, agent_script, batch_frontmatter (run standalone from a scratch copy, outputs re-blessed for the removed step; new case red, nothing queued) - pass; nikaia check of drive/cycle/agent.nika - pass
Deviation: none
Found: none
Needs: none
Changelog: The architect role is removed: the supervisor writes the briefs and decides obvious language gaps, and the driver stops for it on CUT, RED and BATCH DONE.
