Add the operator seeding runbook and enforce the presence schema

Loosen the all-or-nothing stance on provisioning: where a platform has no
API to seed access, a guided runbook is the right answer. docs/seeding-runbook.md
covers the three Telegram steps that cannot be automated, and each carries a
"why not automated" line so the judgement can be revisited rather than
inherited. Telegram's steps resist automation incidentally -- nobody built
the endpoints -- unlike a control such as KYC, which resists by design and
where a weak component would be a defect rather than an opening.

Fix the schema's $id, which was a relative path and broke $ref resolution in
ordinary validators, and add the visibility/username constraint the field
descriptions already claimed. Both specs now validate, and the rejections are
tested.

That is the honest boundary. This is not "no human steps"; it is **one bounded
bootstrap, then a declared surface that converges.** The steps that remain are
the ones Telegram places outside any API on purpose.
bootstrap, then a declared surface that converges.**
Those steps are not left to improvisation. `docs/seeding-runbook.md` guides them:
what to have ready, what to do, what to record and where, and — for each one — why
it could not be automated. A manual step is acceptable when it is guided,
repeatable and bounded, and unacceptable when it is merely undocumented.
Worth distinguishing two reasons a step resists automation, because they age
differently. A KYC check resists *by design*; automating it would defeat its
purpose, and a component weak enough to permit it is a defect rather than an
opportunity. A web form that mints an API key resists only *incidentally*,
because nobody built the endpoint. All three Telegram steps are the second kind —
none is a fraud control — so each is a candidate for removal the moment the
platform changes.
