A failed node with an effective `succeed` policy and no explicit recovery
route now finishes as `succeeded` and follows normal success routing. The
original failure stays on the outcome so the stage.completed event and the
checkpoint keep the diagnostic, and the outcome notes record which scope
promoted it.
- OnFailure gains a Succeed variant; Node::on_failure resolves the
deprecated auto_status=true attribute as an alias, with an explicit
on_failure winning
- The core executor applies the policy before the lifecycle observes the
result, so the recorded outcome, context keys, goal gates, events, and
routing all see the effective outcome; this replaces AutoStatusLifecycle
- Explicit routes take priority: a matching condition, preferred label,
suggested next node, or handler jump keeps the outcome failed. A failed
outcome takes an unconditional edge only under route, so under succeed
any edge selection is an explicit route
- succeed applies only to failed, matching exit; the auto_status alias no
longer promotes partially_succeeded
- Parallel branches promote after their retry loop, so a failed succeed
branch counts as succeeded in the parent aggregate
- Validation accepts succeed and adds an auto_status_deprecated warning
that suggests on_failure="succeed"
- Document the policy table, semantics, and deprecation; add a changelog
entry
Closes#807

A node can now set its own on_failure attribute to override the
graph-level failed-node routing policy in either direction: a
best-effort node can keep route inside an exit graph, and a critical
node can exit while the rest of the graph keeps the default. An absent
node attribute inherits the graph policy.
- Node::on_failure returns Option<OnFailure> so absence means inherit
- Graph::resolve_on_failure(node_id) is the single resolution point,
returning ResolvedOnFailure { policy, scope } so the executor's
end-of-run message names the scope that stopped routing
- The core Graph trait method becomes resolve_on_failure(node_id); the
graph-scope failure message is unchanged
- The failed-human-gate fallthrough block stays independent of a
node-level route override
- Validation now accepts and value-checks node-level on_failure (it
previously warned that node placement had no effect) and keeps the
edge-placement warning with updated wording
- Document precedence in transitions, failures, and the DOT reference,
and extend today's changelog entry

Add two lint rules so the graph format stops silently accepting
attributes that nothing reads:
- inert_attribute: handler-specific attributes (script, language,
duration, join_policy, max_parallel, output_schema, prompt) placed on
node types that never read them. Attributes read by several handlers
(timeout), resolved for every node (fidelity, retry_policy), or
injectable via model stylesheets (model, reasoning_effort, ...) are
deliberately excluded.
- parallel_branch_inert_attribute: fidelity/thread_id on parallel
branch nodes and fork->branch edges. Branch dispatch bypasses the
fidelity lifecycle, so these are dead letters today; the warning
points at the parallel node, where fidelity does take effect.
Also reconcile the loop_restart docs with actual executor behavior:
taking a loop_restart edge restarts from the target with a fresh empty
context (visit counts preserved), on success as well as failure; the
transient_infra guard applies only to failure crossings.

Invert the docs convention so the Mintlify-published site lives under
docs/public/ and internal artifacts (strategy docs, brainstorms, plans,
etc.) sit at docs/ root or docs/internal/. Tools that default to writing
into docs/ now land in the catch-all instead of leaking into the
published tree.
- Move Mintlify content (administration/, agents/, api-reference/,
changelog/, core-concepts/, examples/, execution/, getting-started/,
human-tools/, integrations/, languages/, reference/, tutorials/,
workflows/, images/, logo/, docs.json, favicon.svg, dot-highlight.js)
into docs/public/.
- Collapse docs-internal/ into docs/internal/.
- Update Rust path references (fabro-api/build.rs, fabro-server,
fabro-dev), TypeScript generator arg, CI path filters, clippy.toml
reasons, AGENTS.md/CLAUDE.md, and README.md image refs.
Mintlify dashboard project root must be updated to docs/public/ in a
follow-up. .mintignore move/trim and .claude/skills/ updates land in a
separate commit.
