TODO: site published, drop retired-slug idea, keep docs tracked

Records that the site is live, removes the redirect-stub item (no file or link anywhere references victoria.html, cart.html or argent.html), and settles the docs question in favour of keeping memory-bank/ and .clinerules/ tracked. Memory bank synced: deployment is no longer an open question, though the live URL is still unknown.
