wtclaude 6304c42dfb docs(link): protocol 5 — the decay schedule, vendor fee state and account.login.result
Design of record for the bump, plus the reference updates it obliges.
Engagement Phase 10, as built.

link/v5.md is new. Three enrichments in one bump, because a bump costs a sidecar
release, a republished bundle and an operator update on every shard — a field left
out costs a whole second round of that, not a follow-up commit.

  a. house.decay gains ownerName and a nested `schedule`. estimatedCollapse is
     present ONLY where it is exact: under dynamic decay each stage's duration is
     drawn at random on entry, so collapse is knowable only once the house is
     already at IDOC; under static decay it is exact at every stage. Omitted
     rather than approximated — an absent field is honest where a wrong date
     becomes a dated promise in a player's mail.
  b. vendor.listing gains ownerAcct — a character name identifies nobody, only the
     game account joins to shard_account_links — and a `fees` block resolving
     PlayerVendor.PayTimer's dismissal rule into a dismissalAt instant. There is
     deliberately no daysRemaining: a pay period is a UO day on an old-system
     shard, so the name would be wrong by a factor of twelve.
  c. account.login.result is a NEW kind. account.login.attempt fires from a veto
     hook that runs before the auth decision and constructs with Accepted = true,
     so it fires on successful logins too and cannot carry a verdict.

INTEGRATION.md: the version banner to 5, the Housing and Market field tables and
examples, and the new kind beside the attempt — with the attempt's own row
corrected to say why it is not a failure signal.

PLAN.md: 5.1's "failed-login signals" row was wrong about what AccountLogin can
tell you; 5.3 and 5.4 gain the two new signals; 5.4's dynamic-decay model gets the
consequence for publishing a collapse time, and the CanDecay rule gets its testing
trap. 7's frames are marked as 1.0's design sketch rather than the shipped wire,
which they have not been for four versions.

ENGAGEMENT.md: Phase 10 as built. Two decisions taken during the build (both field
groups nested, so one admin rule governs each and a future field inherits the gate;
no daysRemaining), the three visibility classifications, and the pin improvement —
the schema test now asserts the declarations AGREE rather than that they all say a
literal, which is the protocol-4 bug seen from the other side.
