enforce: Anthropic ban — linter, pre-commit, tests, and policy doc

Anthropic is not just removed — it is banned. This commit adds
enforcement at every gate to prevent re-introduction.

1. architecture_linter.py — 9 BANNED rules for Anthropic patterns
   (provider, model slugs, API endpoints, keys, model names).
   Scans all yaml/py/sh/json/md. Skips training data and historical docs.

2. pre-commit.py — scan_banned_providers() runs on every staged file.
   Blocks any commit that introduces Anthropic references.
   Exempt: training/, evaluations/, changelogs, historical cost data.

3. test_sovereignty_enforcement.py — TestAnthropicBan class with 4 tests:
   - No Anthropic in wizard configs
   - No Anthropic in playbooks
   - No Anthropic in fallback chain
   - No Anthropic API key in bootstrap

4. BANNED_PROVIDERS.md — Hard policy document. Golden state config.
   Replacement table. Exception list. Not advisory — mandatory.

+
+This document is a hard policy. It is not advisory. It is not aspirational.
+Any agent, wizard, or automated process that violates this policy is broken

+## Permanently Banned
+
+### Anthropic (Claude)
+
+**Status:** BANNED — April 2026
+**Scope:** All configs, fallback chains, playbooks, wizard bootstraps, and fleet scripts.
+**Enforcement:** Pre-commit hook, architecture linter, sovereignty enforcement tests.
+
+No Anthropic model (Claude Opus, Sonnet, Haiku, or any variant) may appear as:
+- A primary provider
+- A fallback provider
+- An OpenRouter model slug (e.g. `anthropic/claude-*`)
+- An API endpoint (api.anthropic.com)
+- A required dependency (`anthropic` pip package)
+- An environment variable (`ANTHROPIC_API_KEY`, `ANTHROPIC_TOKEN`)

+### Exceptions
+
+The following files may reference Anthropic for **historical or defensive** purposes:

+- `training/` — Training data must not be altered
+- `evaluations/` — Historical benchmark results
+- `RELEASE_*.md` — Changelogs
+- `metrics_helpers.py` — Historical cost calculation
+- `pre-commit.py` — Detects leaked Anthropic keys (defensive)
+- `secret-scan.yml` — Detects leaked Anthropic keys (defensive)

-  FOR EACH OPEN PR:
-  1. Check CI status (Actions tab or commit status API)
-  2. Read the linked issue or PR body to verify the intended scope before judging the diff
-  3. Review the diff for:
-     - Correctness: does it do what the issue asked?
-     - Security: no secrets, unsafe execution paths, or permission drift
-     - Tests and verification: does the author prove the change?
-     - Scope: PR should match the issue, not scope-creep
-     - Governance: does the change cross a boundary that should stay under Timmy review?
-     - Workflow fit: does it reduce drift, duplication, or hidden operational risk?
-  4. Post findings ordered by severity and cite the affected files or behavior clearly
-  5. If CI fails or verification is missing: explain what is blocking merge
-  6. If PR is behind main: request a rebase or re-run only when needed; do not force churn for cosmetic reasons
-  7. If review is clean and the PR is low-risk: squash merge
-
-  LOW-RISK AUTO-MERGE ONLY IF ALL ARE TRUE:
-  - PR is not a draft
-  - CI is green or the repo has no CI configured
-  - Diff matches the stated issue or PR scope
-  - No unresolved review findings remain
-  - Change is narrow, reversible, and non-governing
