feat(inception): services/inception.decide() + current_defaults(); the standard Systems vocabulary moves to the service and seeds at inception (#2881, milestone 297 step 3)
- inception.decide(user, project, choices=, via=): owner-only; validates the
  choices (pure) and every target (owned rulebook / always-on for an
  exclusion / readable design system) BEFORE any effect; then, each
  idempotent: exclude always-on rulebooks, subscribe rulebooks, point the
  design system (None = explicitly none), seed the standard Systems if asked
  and the project has none; writes projects.inception LAST. Re-deciding is
  additive for exclusions/subscriptions, replaces the design system, never
  re-seeds.
- inception.current_defaults(): what binds if nobody decides — the ask's
  payload (always-on / other rulebooks, standing exclusions + subscriptions,
  design system + the choices, Systems count).
- services/systems.STANDARD_SYSTEMS (name + generic charter) + seed_standard_systems();
  mcp/tools/systems names the same list in the bootstrap ask — one vocabulary.
- Integration tests: effects land and the record says why; bad targets apply
  nothing; outsiders cannot decide.

"""System CRUD + record-association MCP tools — wrappers over services/systems.py.
A System is a per-project, reusable, self-describing subsystem/area that any
record (note, task, or issue) can be associated with — so research, build-work,
and corrective work line up under the same area and recurring problem-spots are
visible. The service enforces the multi-user ACL (project permission); these
tools are thin wrappers.
Sentinels (match the milestone/task tool conventions):
- name="" / description="" / color="" / status="" → "leave unchanged" on update
- order_index=-1 → "leave unchanged" on update (0 is a valid order_index)

The generic zero-state question habituates: identical on every record,

organic sessions skip it forever and only audit-shaped sessions ever mint
(#2683). What separates the nudges that convert from the prose that
doesn't (the duplicate gate, the prior-art "already defined in 2 files")
is the project's OWN evidence in the ask — so this one carries the record
count and the recent titles, and asks for a concrete deliverable: create
a starter set directly, preferring the standard cross-project names.
Deliberately NOT an approval flow (#2798): the operator is not a
permission gate for vocabulary; the standard names carry consistency.
Self-retiring by construction: callers only reach for it while the
project has zero Systems, so the first create_system ends it everywhere.

a hint must never break the call it rides on).
