feat: vault path tokenization — make the Crew work with any vault structure (#22)

All 8 agents and 14 skills now use vault-role tokens ({{inbox}}, {{projects}}, {{areas}}, etc.) instead of hardcoded folder paths. Each file reads Meta/vault-map.md at runtime to resolve tokens to the user's actual folder names. Full backward compatibility: if vault-map.md is absent, agents fall back to built-in defaults. - Add Vault Path Resolution preamble to all 22 agent/skill files - Replace ~365 hardcoded folder paths with 11 vault-role tokens - Add docs/vault-mapping.md explaining the system and customization - Add Vault Path Resolution section to all dispatcher files - Add vault-token contributor rules to CONTRIBUTING.md - Update README.md with vault-mapping references - Add dispatcher backup logic to scripts/lib.sh Based on the approach by @sborenst, re-implemented on the current codebase.

+## Vault path tokens
+
+Every agent and skill uses **vault-role tokens** instead of hardcoded folder paths. This allows the Crew to work with any Obsidian vault structure.
+
+### The 11 tokens
+
+| Token | Default | Purpose |
+|-------|---------|---------|
+| `{{inbox}}` | `00-Inbox` | Capture inbox |
+| `{{projects}}` | `01-Projects` | Active projects |
+| `{{areas}}` | `02-Areas` | Life areas |
+| `{{resources}}` | `03-Resources` | Reference material |
+| `{{archive}}` | `04-Archive` | Completed content |
+| `{{people}}` | `05-People` | Person notes |
+| `{{meetings}}` | `06-Meetings` | Meeting notes |
+| `{{daily}}` | `07-Daily` | Daily notes |
+| `{{templates}}` | `Templates` | Note templates |
+| `{{meta}}` | `Meta` | Crew config |
+| `{{moc}}` | `MOC` | Maps of Content |
+
+### Rules for using tokens
+
+1. **Every agent/skill file needs a Vault Path Resolution preamble** after the YAML frontmatter. It tells the LLM to read `Meta/vault-map.md` (always this literal path — never `{{meta}}/vault-map.md`, to avoid circular lookup) and substitute the tokens listed in its table.
+2. **Only list tokens the file actually uses** in the preamble table.
+3. **Only substitute vault-role tokens** — the 11 listed above. Many files use `{{...}}` for template placeholders (`{{date}}`, `{{Name}}`, `{{YYYY}}`, `{{N}}`). Those must **not** be substituted. The preamble must explicitly say this.
+4. **Use tokens everywhere**: in instructions, examples, templates, output formats, and `### Suggested next agent` sections. No hardcoded folder names outside the preamble defaults table.
+
+See [`docs/vault-mapping.md`](docs/vault-mapping.md) for the full specification.

+## Vault Path Resolution
+
+This crew uses a vault map (`Meta/vault-map.md`) to adapt to any Obsidian vault structure. The vault map file is always loaded from this fixed literal path — agents must **not** use `{{meta}}` to locate it, to avoid circular lookups. When agents reference folder paths, they use **vault-role tokens** (the 11 tokens: `{{inbox}}`, `{{projects}}`, `{{areas}}`, `{{resources}}`, `{{archive}}`, `{{people}}`, `{{meetings}}`, `{{daily}}`, `{{templates}}`, `{{meta}}`, `{{moc}}`) that resolve to actual folder names from vault-map.md at runtime. **Only** these vault-role tokens are eligible for path substitution — agents must **not** substitute other `{{...}}` patterns used for templating (dates, names, etc.). If vault-map.md is absent, each agent falls back to its built-in default paths — existing users are unaffected. The Architect generates vault-map.md during onboarding. No dispatcher action is required for path resolution.

+# Vault Mapping
+
+The Crew adapts to your existing folder structure — you don't have to rename anything.
+
+## How it works
+
+During onboarding, the Architect scans your vault and asks about any ambiguous folders. It then creates `Meta/vault-map.md`, which maps logical roles to your actual folder names:
+
+```yaml
+---
+inbox: 00-Inbox
+projects: 01-Projects
+areas: 02-Areas
+resources: 03-Resources
+archive: 04-Archive
+people: 05-People
+meetings: 06-Meetings
+daily: 07-Daily
+templates: Templates
+meta: Meta
+moc: MOC
+---
+```
+
+Every agent and skill reads this file at runtime from the fixed path `Meta/vault-map.md` and resolves vault-role tokens to your actual paths before acting. Only the 11 tokens listed below are substituted — other `{{...}}` patterns (like `{{date}}`, `{{Name}}`) are template placeholders and are left unchanged.
+
+## Customizing
+
+Edit `Meta/vault-map.md` directly. For example, if your inbox is called `Inbox/`:
+
+```yaml
+inbox: Inbox
+```
+
+Changes take effect immediately — no restart needed.
+
+## Available tokens
+
+| Token | Default | Purpose |
+|-------|---------|---------|
+| `{{inbox}}` | `00-Inbox` | New notes land here first |
+| `{{projects}}` | `01-Projects` | Active projects |
+| `{{areas}}` | `02-Areas` | Life areas (Work, Health, etc.) |
+| `{{resources}}` | `03-Resources` | Reference material |
+| `{{archive}}` | `04-Archive` | Completed or historical notes |
+| `{{people}}` | `05-People` | Person notes |
+| `{{meetings}}` | `06-Meetings` | Meeting notes |
+| `{{daily}}` | `07-Daily` | Daily notes |
+| `{{templates}}` | `Templates` | Note templates |
+| `{{meta}}` | `Meta` | Crew config files |
+| `{{moc}}` | `MOC` | Maps of Content |
+
+## If vault-map.md is missing
+
+Each agent falls back to the defaults above and warns you once. Existing users are unaffected — the Crew works exactly as before until you run onboarding.

+## Vault Path Resolution
+
+This crew uses a vault map (`Meta/vault-map.md`) to adapt to any Obsidian vault structure. The vault map file is always loaded from this fixed literal path — agents must **not** use `{{meta}}` to locate it, to avoid circular lookups. When agents reference folder paths, they use **vault-role tokens** (the 11 tokens: `{{inbox}}`, `{{projects}}`, `{{areas}}`, `{{resources}}`, `{{archive}}`, `{{people}}`, `{{meetings}}`, `{{daily}}`, `{{templates}}`, `{{meta}}`, `{{moc}}`) that resolve to actual folder names from vault-map.md at runtime. **Only** these vault-role tokens are eligible for path substitution — agents must **not** substitute other `{{...}}` patterns used for templating (dates, names, etc.). If vault-map.md is absent, each agent falls back to its built-in default paths — existing users are unaffected. The Architect generates vault-map.md during onboarding. No dispatcher action is required for path resolution.
