feat(docs): embed version-matched product documentation

Problem: Reasonix installations could not reliably search the exact documentation and release notes shipped with their build, and dynamic slash-menu filtering could leave stale virtual row gaps. Root cause: Documentation lived only as source files without a compiled retrieval identity or deterministic slash-command path. The shared virtual menu also let TanStack Virtual cache rows by numeric index while React used different keys. Fix: Embed docs and reviewed release notes, add the read-only docs tool and /docs command across CLI and Desktop, stamp and verify corpus identity in release builds, enforce documentation-impact declarations, and align virtual-list semantic keys across slash and file menus. Verification: - go test ./... - go test -race ./internal/productdocs ./internal/boot ./internal/control ./internal/cli - cd desktop && go test ./... - pnpm --dir desktop/frontend build - ./scripts/cache-guard.sh - bash scripts/release-workflows.test.sh - bash scripts/verify-embedded-docs.sh v0.0.0 e67b2aa824

+## Embedded documentation retrieval
+
+Reasonix bundles the Markdown files from `docs/` and the reviewed
+`release-notes/releases.json` catalog into each CLI and Desktop build. The
+read-only `docs` tool searches that exact offline corpus with local BM25
+retrieval and can read a complete matching section with source provenance. It
+renders every release in both languages under paths such as
+`changelog/v1.19.5.md` and `changelog/v1.19.5.zh-CN.md`, so questions about a
+specific version, upgrades, fixes, or known risks work offline. The agent should
+use the tool before web search or assumptions when a question concerns Reasonix
+configuration, CLI/Desktop behavior, release history, permissions, MCP, memory,
+recovery, providers, or maintainer workflows.
+
+No setup, network connection, vector database, or embedding service is needed.
+Search results prefer the query language while retaining explicit `en`,
+`zh-CN`, audience, and catalog filters. Balanced and Delivery profiles expose the
+tool directly; Economy connects the `docs` source on demand. Every result reports
+the product version, immutable source revision, and corpus SHA-256 digest. Release
+CI compiles the CLI and rejects publication unless that embedded manifest matches
+the candidate's `docs/*.md`, `release-notes/releases.json`, and build identity. A
+newer online `main-v2` page therefore cannot silently replace version-matched
+local guidance or release history.
+
+Use `/docs` to inspect the bundled corpus identity and usage examples without
+calling a model. Use `/docs <question>` (for example,
+`/docs 1.19.5 changelog`) to make Reasonix search the corpus locally first and
+then pass the version-matched evidence to the currently configured AI for a
+sourced answer. This command path does not depend on the model deciding to call
+the `docs` tool, while ordinary natural-language questions may still use the
+tool automatically.
+
+Pull requests that change user-visible CLI, Desktop, configuration, provider,
+permission, or tool behavior must declare whether embedded documentation was
+updated. When no documentation change is needed, the declaration must explain
+why the existing version-matched guidance remains correct.

+版本历史、权限、MCP、记忆、恢复、Provider 或维护流程的问题，Agent 应先查询这里，再考虑

+与当前版本匹配的证据交给当前配置的 AI 生成带来源的回答。这个命令路径不依赖模型是否主动
+选择 `docs` 工具；普通自然语言问题仍可由模型自动调用该工具。
