Adds an always-on _INSTRUCTIONS directive: when work touches Scribe and
no project is in scope, search for a related project and propose
enter_project (confirm first), or offer to create one (confirm name/goal
first) — never silently adopt or create. Pairs with the enter_project
handshake and the host-memory pointer directive. Closes scribe task #585.

Optional FKs on update_task previously had no way to express 'remove' —
0 meant leave-unchanged and any positive int meant set, so a milestone
(or project) could only be cleared via the web UI. Now -1 clears the FK
(NULL); clearing project_id also clears milestone_id since a milestone
can't outlive its project. update_note already NULLs on None, so the
change is confined to the tool wrapper. Closes scribe task #586.

When a project subscribes to a rulebook, the agent should ensure the
host's persistent memory carries a pointer that engineering/workflow
rules live in Scribe (loaded via list_always_on_rules / enter_project),
plus a one-line note of the current project's work. Pairs with the
existing 'don't duplicate rules into memory' directive: memory holds the
pointer + project context, Scribe holds the rules.

Adds a 'keep task state honest' directive to the MCP _INSTRUCTIONS: set
in_progress on start, log progress with add_task_log as you go, set done the
moment work completes (never leave finished work at todo), and write a dated
dev-log note on the project at significant landings. Reinforced in the
update_task status docstring. App-layer + always-loaded, no rule/config needed
— closes the gap where finished work (e.g. a shipped plan) sat open because the
lifecycle was available but never prescribed.
