Bo 8ad6747913 chore(ao): delete the ao evolve CLI surface (ag-llni slice 1) (#724) ...

**Slice 1 of ag-llni** — retire `ao rpi`/`ao evolve` (orchestration is
no longer an in-CLI engine). This PR removes the **`ao evolve`** half;
the `rpi*.go` + phased web is slice 2.

**Architecture (operator-confirmed 2026-06-04):** orchestration is
two-tier — *inner loop* (one session) = skills/CLIs/native-subagents +
**Workflows** (`.claude/workflows/operating-loop.js` + `bead-crank.js` —
the Claude encoding of inner-orchestration that was mis-shaped as
`rpi`/`evolve`); *outer loop* (many sessions) = **NTM +
mcp-agent-mail**. Codex inner-loop = NTM + agent-mail for now. Leaf CLIs
(`corpus`/`goals`/flywheel/knowledge loops = BC1 corpus), NTM, and
agent-mail all stay.

### Changes
- Deleted `ao evolve` + 4 subcommands (`config`, `next-work`, `blocked`,
`write-stop-marker`) — 10 files.
- Relocated the one non-evolve coupling, `countCronHistoryRows`, into
its sole consumer `cron_self_adjust.go`.
- Removed `evolve` from the `cobra_commands_test.go` golden
`expectedCmds` list (2 sites).
- Regenerated `cli/docs/COMMANDS.md` (−125 lines) +
`docs/cli-skills-map.md`.

### Verification
- `go build ./...` green · `go vet ./cmd/ao` clean · **`go test
./cmd/ao` = 9251 pass**.
- Net: 13 files, −2192 LOC.

Bounded-context: BC5-Runtime
Closes-scenario: ag-llni#delete-evolve-cli
Evidence: cli/cmd/ao/cron_self_adjust.go
Test-Removal-Reason: ao evolve CLI surface retired (ag-llni) —
orchestration moved to .claude/workflows + NTM; the 5 deleted
evolve_*_test.go covered now-deleted command code, not kept behavior.
