docs(link): record world.ruleset and mark Protocol 3.0 progress

Protocol 3.0 order 2 (v3.md §5) is built across all four repos; this is its
documentation half, plus the running progress record the plan was missing.

v3.md
  - A progress table at the top and a State column on §9's sequencing table, so
    "what has landed" is answerable without reading four git logs. Part A (order
    1) and world.ruleset (order 2) are marked done; the spawn atlas is next.
  - §5 gains the implementation notes worth keeping, chiefly: where a system's
    on/off state is DERIVED rather than configured, read the system's own static
    instead of inventing a .cfg key (Shadowguard has no Enabled key — it's the
    TOL expansion gate; Factions is `!ViceVsVirtueSystem.Enabled` by
    construction in stock ServUO). Also that the plugin CAN be compile-verified
    despite the "no standalone build" caveat, and how.

INTEGRATION.md
  - The world.ruleset catalog entry and GET /ruleset, with the two things
    consumers get wrong: caps are in TENTHS (1000 = 100.0), and `connect` exists
    only if the operator set Bridge.PublicConnectAddress — the shard's real
    listen address is never published.
  - §2 now says plainly that v3 has NOT been bumped yet and what that means:
    sidecars on `edge` report 2 while already carrying some v3 kinds, so do not
    infer feature availability from the version during this window.

PROTOCOL_2.md §10.4
  - The deferred "which PvP system does this shard run?" is answered (VvV on,
    Factions off — and mutually exclusive by construction), and world.systems is
    marked superseded by world.ruleset, which carries the systems block it asked
    for. No orphan kind is left behind.

BACKEND_DESIGN.md — the shard_ruleset table (why it is stored whole rather than
normalized, and why no row means null rather than {}) and the public route.

PROJECT_TREE.md is deliberately untouched: sync-project-tree regenerates it on
push to main, so it updates itself at the v3 cutover.

Outbound event kinds are **additive** — a v1 client that ignores unknown kinds keeps working against the live feed — but the new *endpoints* require a v2 sidecar. If you send `X-UOLink-Version: 1`, calls to the new endpoints are refused with the 409 above.

+`X-UOLink-Version: 3` happens **exactly once**, at the end, when [`v3.md`](v3.md) §4's `edge` → `main`
+cutover lands — because a bump is an operator-visible hard break (409 on every protected route, and
+the website's WS closes on the `ws.hello` mismatch), so doing it per phase would break the site
+repeatedly.
+
+Until then, sidecars on `edge` still report `2` while already carrying some v3 kinds and endpoints.
+That is safe in the direction that matters: event kinds are additive, and a client that ignores
+unknown kinds and tolerates a `404` on a not-yet-present endpoint keeps working. What you must **not**
+do is infer feature availability from the version number during this window — probe the endpoint, or
+treat a missing `world.ruleset` as "this shard hasn't published one". There is deliberately **no

+#### Shard ruleset (Protocol 3.0)
+
+How the shard is actually configured, published by the shard itself. **Not a sweep** — it changes only
+when an operator edits `Config/*.cfg`, so it is emitted once per shard↔sidecar connect (and on
+`[bridge reload`), exactly like `server.hello`.
+
+| kind | fields | notes |
+|------|--------|-------|
+| `world.ruleset` | `rev`, `shard`, `expansion`, `connect?`, `systems`, `caps`, `housing`, `accounts`, `vetRewards`, `loot`, `vendors`, `champions?`, `treasureMaps`, `vvv?`, `store`, `schedule?` | The whole ruleset, always complete — **never a delta**, so the latest frame replaces the previous one outright. Every block except `shard`/`expansion` is optional and is **omitted when its system is off**, so absence means "not applicable here", not "unknown". |
+
+`rev` is the shard's FNV-1a of the body: identical `rev` means the ruleset is unchanged and this frame
+is just a reconnect re-send, so a consumer can skip the write. It is deliberately **not**
+`String.GetHashCode()`, which is seeded per process and would change on every shard restart.

+**Two things consumers get wrong.**
+
+1. **`caps.skill` and `caps.totalSkill` are in tenths**, the way ServUO stores them: `1000` is `100.0`
+   skill and `7000` is `700.0` total. Rendering the raw number is actively misleading. The other caps
+   (`stat`, `str`, …) are plain integers.
+2. **`connect` is present only if the operator set `Bridge.PublicConnectAddress`.** The shard's real
+   listen address (`Server.cfg`) is never published; nor are `Staff.cfg`, `Email.cfg`, `DataPath.cfg`,
+   `Bridge.cfg`, `Compiler.cfg`, `Reports.cfg` or `Client.cfg`. The frame is built from an explicit
+   allowlist in `BridgeRuleset.cs` — `Config.Entries` is never enumerated, because that would sweep in
+   every key on the server.
+
+Absent entirely if the shard runs `Bridge.RulesetEnabled=false` or an older plugin. Render from
+`GET /ruleset` (§6) on connect, then keep live with this event.
+
+This **supersedes the `world.systems` frame** sketched in [`PROTOCOL_2.md`](PROTOCOL_2.md) §10.4 and
