Agents recall what Docs say before they answer or work, and each has required reading

- Every reply and session step recalls the passages of Docs closest to what was asked (docs: recall_for_agent), only from spaces the person it acts for and everyone reading can read, and puts them in front of the model with their source, as data; marked when a page may be out of date - An agent's required reading: Docs spaces it checks first (profile form), never wider than what its readers can see
