- adopt Flagship Collection naming from PR #965
- upgrade agent bundle selection callout to IMPORTANT
- restore Label Management section from PR #953

…ntation (#965)

Corrected documentation across 28 files to clearly differentiate three
products with overlapping names: the **HVE Core Extension** (flagship AI
artifact library, zero config), the **HVE Core Installer** (guided setup
companion with MCP auto-config and agent bundle copying), and
**clone-based methods** (full artifact customization via direct file
access). Removed inaccurate claims about Installer capabilities, added a
customization capability matrix, and updated site navigation to help
users choose the right installation method.

> Documentation conflated the Extension with the Installer and made
inaccurate claims about what the Installer provides (e.g., "select
specific collections," "install collections independently"). The
Installer copies agents by bundle and auto-configures MCP servers; it
does not filter prompts, instructions, or skills. The updated language
establishes consistent three-tier messaging: Extension (recommended) →
Installer (guided setup + MCP) → Clone (full customization).

### Terminology and Positioning

Updated language across all installation guides and 9 role-specific
pages to replace "all stable artifacts" and "Full collection" with
"flagship RPI workflow and core artifacts." The `hve-core` extension now
consistently describes the flagship collection, while `hve-core-all` is
referenced wherever the complete artifact library is relevant.

- Renamed **"Full Collection"** heading to **"Flagship Collection"** and
**"Collection Filtering"** to **"Agent Bundle Selection"** in
*install.md*
- Updated TIP boxes in all 9 role guides (*business-program-manager*,
*data-scientist*, *engineer*, *new-contributor*, *security-architect*,
*sre-operations*, *tech-lead*, *tpm*, *ux-designer*) with flagship
language
- Updated *ai-artifacts.md* extension packaging table from "Full / All
stable artifacts" to "Flagship / RPI workflow and core artifacts"
- Removed the "What HVE Core Does for You" heading in *engineer.md*
(content preserved, integrated under Recommended Collections)

### Installer Skill Cross-References

Added consistent references to the HVE Core Installer skill across
getting-started, customization, and lifecycle documentation,
establishing the installer as the recommended path for guided setup.

- Added installer callout to *README.md* linking to the HVE Core
Installer extension for guided setup and agent bundle selection
- Added TIP box to *docs/README.md* distinguishing flagship and complete
extension options
- Updated all 6 clone method Quick Start sections (*peer-clone*,
*submodule*, *git-ignored*, *multi-root*, *mounted*, *codespaces*) with
a consistent three-tier pattern: extension first, then installer skill,
then manual steps
- Added new **"Need MCP Configuration or Guided Setup?"** section to
*extension.md* with a capabilities comparison table
- Rewritten *extension.md* Scenario 4 ("Want to Customize Later") to
show progressive layering instead of uninstall-and-clone
- Added TIP box to *mcp-configuration.md* referencing installer skill
for auto MCP configuration
- Updated *cli-plugins.md* installer plugin description with broader
scope and extension link
- Added "Not sure which method fits?" entry to *install.md* decision
criteria
- Updated new contributor guide step 3 to acknowledge both
extension-only and clone-based installer paths

### Customization Documentation

Introduced a capability matrix and starting-point guidance to help users
understand what each installation type enables.

- Added **"Before You Customize"** capability matrix to
*customization/README.md* showing 8 customization levels across
Extension Only, Installer Skill (Clone), and Direct Clone
- Added **"Recommended Starting Point"** section to *team-adoption.md*
guiding teams from flagship extension to installer to direct clone
- Added IMPORTANT callout to *collections.md* clarifying that agent
bundle selection copies agents only (prompts, instructions, and skills
are not filtered by collection)

### Site Navigation

- Added **Customization** links to both Docusaurus navbar and footer in
*docusaurus.config.js*
- Created *customization/_category_.json* at position 5 for Docusaurus
navigation hierarchy

### Bug Fix

- Fixed broken extension ID `hve-hve-core-installer` → `hve-installer`
in *lifecycle/setup.md*

- Agent bundle selection remains scoped to agents only; collection-based
filtering of prompts, instructions, and skills is noted as future work
in multiple locations.
