Subject: [PATCH] docs(deploy): retarget the NEMESIS.md pointer to TERMINUS.md
 (CLAWD-3862)

CLAWD-3769 enumerated this file and asked whether the reference is a path the
script READS -- because this is the one executable in its list, where a rename
would change runtime behaviour rather than documentation accuracy.

The material answer is that this is a text edit with no behaviour change, and
that holds. THE MECHANISM I FIRST GAVE FOR IT WAS FALSE, and an independent
reviewer measured it: I wrote "no code path reads, tests or resolves it", and
two of those three verbs are wrong.

Line 31 sits inside the `-h|--help` header block, which is emitted by
`sed -n '2,69p' "$0"` at :86 -- so it IS read from the script and printed to
the operator, and it IS pinned by a test
(tests/scripts/test_opt_provenance_report.py, which asserts the sed range ends
at the header boundary). What is true is narrower: it is never RESOLVED as a
path, and this edit is line-count-neutral, so the pinned range and both guard
tests are unaffected.

Verification:
  git grep -In 'NEMESIS' -- .                       -> rc 1, zero hits (was 1)
  bash -n scripts/deploy-to-runtime.sh              -> OK
  wc -l, HEAD vs origin/main                        -> 234 vs 234 (neutral)
  `set -euo pipefail` still at NR=70                -> range 2,69p still correct
  --help | grep TERMINUS                            -> prints the retargeted line
  pytest tests/scripts/test_opt_provenance_report.py -k help -> 2 passed

Rebased onto origin/main (ef452dfe1) -- the branch was cut from a local `main`
one commit stale, missing merged PR #64. The sweep result is unchanged by that
(`git grep` on origin/main returns the same single hit) but the branch should
not carry the staleness.
