OSAC-4008: Consume centralized design/prd template guidance via osac-ai-skills fan-out

Jira: https://redhat.atlassian.net/browse/OSAC-4008
Story type: [DEV]

Summary

Removes osac-workspace's independently-maintained copies of .design/templates/section-guidance.md and .prd/templates/section-guidance.md, replacing them with symlinks materialized by tools/link-agent-skills.sh from the new canonical copies in osac-ai-skills. Both files had real, independent edit history (e.g. OSAC-3573, OSAC-3059) — this eliminates a live drift risk, not a hypothetical one.

Changes

• .design/templates/section-guidance.md, .prd/templates/section-guidance.md — real content removed; now vendored symlinks
• tools/test/link-agent-skills-consumer-smoke.sh — extended seed_vendor() and test_shared_rules_agents_design_context with 4 new symlink/readability assertions for the two files
• .gitignore — added entries for the newly-symlinked files
• AGENTS.md — Template Overrides section updated to describe the new vendoring

Testing

• Unit tests: N/A (shell/markdown)
• Integration tests: Extended tools/test/link-agent-skills-consumer-smoke.sh, run end-to-end in a worktree against the real companion osac-ai-skills PR's vendor mechanism — all assertions pass, including a byte-for-byte diff of the removed content against the canonical copies
• Coverage: Same two-sided (materialize + verify) coverage as every existing materialize_shared_dir bucket

Acceptance Criteria

• AC-2 (consumer side — completes the pairing with the companion osac-ai-skills PR)

Related PRs

This ticket spans 3 repos and produces 4 PRs total. This PR depends on osac-project/osac-ai-skills#8 and must merge in the same window as it, not merely after it — that PR's new unconditional fan-out calls will otherwise hard-fail bootstrap.sh for any osac-workspace user in the gap between the two merges (a defensive safe_symlink fix on that PR narrows but does not fully close the gap for .design/templates/section-guidance.md, whose content differs from this repo's copy by one line). Please coordinate merge timing with that PR.

• Depends on: osac-project/osac-ai-skills#8 (same-window merge required)
• Independent of: OSAC-4008: Add trimmed cross-component docs to osac/docs/ osac#364 and the other osac-workspace cleanup PR in this ticket

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Documentation

  • Updated contributor guidance to document shared design and PRD template sources and symlink workflows.
  • Removed outdated local section-guidance documents for design and product requirements.

• Chores

Walkthrough

Design and PRD section-guidance files were removed from the workspace and documented as vendored files. Ignore rules and smoke tests now cover their symlinks and canonical-source verification.

Changes

Template guidance materialization

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Vendored template materialization .gitignore, AGENTS.md, tools/test/link-agent-skills-consumer-smoke.sh	Design and PRD section guidance is documented as vendored from osac-ai-skills. Ignore rules, fixtures, and symlink assertions cover both template paths.
Canonical source verification tools/test/link-agent-skills-consumer-smoke.sh	Verification now checks missing canonical files in rules, design templates, and PRD templates, and rejects stale symlinks.Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple)

- Around line 232-257: Isolate each iteration of the missing-canonical-source
loop so every --verify invocation fails only for its current bucket. Restore the
removed canonical fixture after each case, or recreate a fresh workspace per
case, while preserving the stale symlink assertion and error-message validation
for the rules, design templates, and PRD templates buckets.
