Oleksandr ShyshatskyiandClaude Opus 5 214a4e58b9 anvil-core owns firmwareExe and start.sh; kill the 3.8.2 myth
Three things, all downstream of klippy having moved to $MODDIR and our own
CPython 3.13.

SECTIONS 8 AND 9 ARE GONE. Both files install at $MODDIR/prog/ and
anvil-link-prog.sh points the stock paths at them -- from run-append.sh on a
flash and from anvil-core's postinst on `opkg upgrade anvil-core`. Nothing
execs either between run.sh distributing the component and link-prog running,
so the component copy bought no ordering. It cost, though: our firmwareExe
with no payload behind it logs "no anvil-env.sh", finds no s6-svscan and then
`while true; do sleep 3600; done` -- a printer that boots to a blank screen for
ever and never reaches app_startup.sh's own recovery. Absent, that recovery
restores a firmwareExe from a version directory. So patch.sh now REMOVES both
from the component: the stock component carries them, and deleting the two cp
lines alone would have shipped FlashForge's originals.

SECTION 5c IS GONE. It did no work -- two du prints and a comment whose first
line was the falsehood below.

THE FALSEHOOD. "klippy runs on the stock 3.8.2, started by
/usr/prog/klipper/start.sh" had spread well past patch.sh, and it had reached
things people follow:

  - docs/toolchange.md told owners to scp the ff_*.py extras to
    /usr/prog/klipper/klippy/extras/ -- the wrong partition -- and warned that
    an OTA would delete them there. Same wrong path in three ff-*.cfg headers
    and in ff_toolchange.py.
  - versions.env labelled our CPython 3.13 and its eighteen packages
    "SHIPPED BUT NOT USED".
  - docs/how-it-works.md said Moonraker runs on python3.8, contradicting line
    126 of the same file.

All corrected. Historical notes keep their history and get a [Superseded: ...]
marker instead -- including 80-s6-migration.md's "s6-rc-compile is not
shipped", which pkgs/3rdparty/s6-rc/build.sh contradicts deliberately.

Found while reviewing: every docs/ reference to the ff-*.cfg pointed at
pkgs/anvil-core/payload/config/, which does not exist -- they are
anvil-klipper-config's. 28 references across 9 files, several of them broken
markdown links on the published site. All 24 relative links under docs/ now
resolve.

Gates: verify.sh syntax-checks prog/start.sh and prog/firmwareExe out of the
payload (firmwareExe was never syntax-checked before) and fails if the
component carries either. A new replica test asserts both stock paths are
symlinks into $MODDIR/prog and do not dangle. One existing replica test stubbed
firmwareExe by redirecting into $FE, which now writes THROUGH the symlink into
the packaged wrapper; it moves the link aside instead.
