Docs sweep: remove "awareness namespace" references after #1735 backend removal

PR #1737 deletes the awareness namespace backend (column, model, provisioner env injection, helpers, INSERTs, tests) but leaves narrative references to "awareness" / AWARENESS_URL / AWARENESS_NAMESPACE scattered through the runtime + architecture docs. The two API spec lines (docs/api-reference.md:106 describing the workspaces row, and docs/api-protocol/platform-api.md:93 claiming workspace creation assigns an awareness_namespace) are patched in #1737 because they would mislead anyone integrating against the workspace-server API.

The remaining ~30 hits below describe awareness as a live feature in handbook-style docs. Wrong post-#1737 merge, but not contract-breaking — file as a docs follow-up so the cleanup runs sequentially without bloating the backend PR.

Files needing edits

Scope File Notes
Architecture docs/architecture/memory.md §4 "Awareness-backed persistence" — delete entirely; remove from the surface-comparison table
Architecture docs/architecture/molecule-technical-doc.md Memory section row + env-var table row reference AWARENESS_URL / AWARENESS_NAMESPACE
Runtime docs/agent-runtime/config-format.md Lists both env vars under optional config
Runtime docs/agent-runtime/workspace-runtime.md Example env blocks reference the vars + claim memory routing through awareness namespace
Runtime docs/agent-runtime/cli-runtime.md Same shape as workspace-runtime.md
Postmortem docs/engineering/postmortem-2026-04-23-boot-event-401.md Minor in-line mention; one-line edit
READMEs README.md, README.zh-CN.md "HMA + awareness namespaces" framing in the architecture diagram; rephrase as "HMA via v2 memory plugin"
Index docs/index.md Cross-reference to memory.md §4

Suggested approach

One sweep PR after #1737 merges. Each file is a small surgical edit — total work ~30 min. Tag area:docs + tier:low. No code change, no migration.

Discovery method (for the future)

git grep -nE "awareness|AWARENESS_(URL|NAMESPACE)" docs/ README*.md plugins/

Refs

  • #1735 (the original awareness-removal RFC)
  • #1737 (the backend removal PR — closes #1735, leaves docs work for this issue)

Out-of-tree assets (no action in this repo)

  • plugins/superpowers/plans/2026-04-08-workspace-awareness-integration.md exists only in operator-cloned trees produced by scripts/clone-manifest.sh. The /plugins/ directory is gitignored in molecule-core, so the file is not version-controlled here. Cleanup belongs in the upstream superpowers plugin repo (or wherever the manifest resolves to) — out of scope for this docs sweep.
