feat(project_create): mirror_to_github opt-in, default false (infra#34 ADR)

Per the Gitea-as-true-master ADR (infra#34), GitHub mirror is now an
explicit opt-in via mirror_to_github=true. Default (omit / false) provisions
a Gitea repo + staging namespace + experiment-brief issue only — no GitHub
repo, no push-mirror.

Rationale: US cloud providers (Microsoft/GitHub) are subject to CLOUD Act
and NSL. Client code, business logic, and infra-adjacent repos should
never live on US-owned infrastructure. Only open-source projects intended
for public community (hyperguild, gitea-mcp, template-*) should opt in.

Changes
- internal/skills/project/handlers.go
  - createArgs gains MirrorToGitHub bool (json:"mirror_to_github,omitempty").
  - res.GitHubURL is set only when MirrorToGitHub is true; empty string otherwise.
  - Steps 2 (create_github_repo) + 3 (mirror) are wrapped in `if args.MirrorToGitHub`.
  - experimentBrief renders "Gitea-only" line by default and the existing
    "Push-mirror configured" line only on opt-in.
- internal/skills/project/skill.go
  - Tool schema gains mirror_to_github (boolean, default false) with description
    spelling out when to opt in. Tool Description updated to reflect new default.
- internal/skills/project/handlers_test.go
  - Added mirroredArgs() helper (happyArgs + mirror_to_github:true).
  - Tests that exercise the GitHub flow (HappyPath, GitHubExists_Idempotent,
    GitHubFails, NoGitHubClient_DegradedMode, Idempotent_RepoExists,
    MirrorFails, InfraCommitFails) switched to mirroredArgs.
  - Added TestProjectCreate_DefaultSkipsGitHubMirror covering the Gitea-only
    path: 3 gitea-mcp calls, zero GitHub calls, empty github_url, reached=
    [create_repo, infra_commit, issue], body reflects Gitea-only.

Closes gitea/mathias/hyperguild#17. Moves infra#34 acceptance item
"project_create updated: mirror_to_github defaults to false".

+## 2026-05-12 — brain_answer and brain_classify: LLM routing via berget.ai → iguana
+
+**Context:** Brain MCP returned raw BM25 excerpts with no synthesis. Adding
+LLM-backed tools enables Q&A and ingestion enrichment without a separate service.
+
+**Decision:** Two new MCP tools in the ingestion service (`ingestion/internal/mcp/`):
+- `brain_answer(query)` — BM25 top-10 → LLM synthesis → answer + sources
+- `brain_classify(text)` — LLM classifies doc into type/title/tags
+
+Primary LLM: berget.ai `gemma4:31b` (EU cloud, spend tokens while available).
+Fallback: iguana `gemma4:31b` (local Ollama). Reranker deferred to follow-up.
+Router lives in `ingestion/internal/llm.Router`; opt-in via `BRAIN_LLM_PRIMARY_URL`.
+
+**Consequences:** Brain becomes a knowledge assistant, not just a search index.
+When berget.ai tokens run out, flip `BRAIN_LLM_PRIMARY_URL` to iguana.

+## 2026-05-18 — project_create commits staging namespace directly to infra main
+
+**Context:** `project_create` writes a k8s namespace manifest into the infra
+repo so Flux brings up a staging environment for the new project. Initial
+implementation pushed to a `staging/<name>` branch, which required manual PR
+merge before Flux saw the namespace — defeating the "one tool call, project
+exists, staging reconciling within 60s" goal.
+
+**Decision:** Option A — commit directly to `main`. `callInfraCommit` passes
+`branch: "main"` to gitea-mcp's `file_write_branch`; no PR, no merge step.
+
+**Consequences:** Staging namespace appears in cluster within ~60s of the
+`project_create` call. Consistent with project-wide TBD policy (CLAUDE.md):
+commit directly to main, every commit deployable. Acceptable because the
+manifest is a fresh namespace under `k3s/staging/<name>/` — isolated, low
+blast-radius, and Flux will simply recreate it if the file is bad. Manual
+review gating was friction for no compensating safety gain on experiment
+namespaces.

+## 2026-05-18 — pgvector over Qdrant for brain hybrid retrieval (supersedes 2026-04-08)
+
+**Context:** The 2026-04-08 ADR chose Qdrant for vector store. Since then,
+postgres18 with pgvector has been deployed in the `databases` namespace on
+koala and is already the shared default for the rest of the project
+(CLAUDE.md lists `pgvector (vector), BM25` as the primary search layer and
+Qdrant only as a fallback "when >1M vectors or hybrid retrieval"). Qdrant
+itself has never been deployed — `kubectl get` finds no pod, service, or
+manifest. Standing up a new vector engine for a single consumer is friction
+that the original ADR did not weigh.
+
+**Decision:** Use pgvector for brain hybrid retrieval. Issue #8 — and any
+follow-on embedding work — targets the existing `postgres18` instance:
+
+- one table `brain_embeddings(path TEXT PRIMARY KEY, embedding VECTOR(768), updated_at TIMESTAMPTZ)`,
+  IVFFlat or HNSW index by feel once volume warrants
+- BM25 stays as today (file walk + token frequency); cosine via pgvector
+- hybrid scoring done in SQL or Go; pick once we measure
+- nomic-embed-text on iguana ollama provides 768-dim vectors
+
+**Consequences:** One database engine instead of two. Backups, monitoring,
+and connection pooling already solved. Trade-off: pgvector at >1M vectors
+or under hybrid-search load may underperform Qdrant — revisit only when
+benchmarks hurt. The 2026-04-08 ADR is superseded for the brain use case;
+Qdrant remains the noted fallback path in CLAUDE.md if scale demands it.
