Drop "never phones home" as a hard rule

Browse Source 
The owner's call, 2026-07-31: a 0.8B model does not know enough about the
world to be useful without reading something. So she may now read external
sources to answer world questions.

What replaces the old rule, in all three docs:

- No telemetry, no cloud model, no third-party account. Unchanged.
- Local first: the Kiwix ZIMs on the box before anything on the network.
- External search is allowed but off unless configured, same as weather
  and telegram.
- His notes and facts are never search input. Only the utterance goes out
  — never the persona block, the history, or matched notes.

Docs only, no code.

## Non-goals (hard constraints)
Never phones home. Not a nag, not autonomous. Maven's persona is **feminine** — Russian
Not a nag, not autonomous. Maven's persona is **feminine** — Russian
self-reference must use feminine forms (the user is male; see memory `maven-persona-gender`).
**"Never phones home" is DEPRECATED** (owner's call, 2026-07-31). It used to be a hard
constraint and it is not one any more: a 0.8B — and a 1.7B — does not know enough to answer
world questions, so she needs to read external sources. What replaces it:
- **No telemetry, no cloud model, no third-party account.** That part never changes. Nothing
about Maven is reported to anyone, and inference stays on the box.
- **Local sources first.** Kiwix ZIMs on homesrv (Wikipedia, ifixit) before anything on the
network. Reading beats recalling for a small model, and a local read costs nothing.
- **External search is allowed and off unless configured**, like the weather and telegram
capabilities.
- **His notes and facts are never search input.** Looking up why the sky is blue and sending
his stored personal notes to an upstream engine are different acts. Only the utterance goes
out, never the persona block, history, or matched notes.
## Web UI conventions
Server-rendered pages share `cmd/mavweb/static/ui.css` (served at `/ui.css`) and the `nav`
