refactor(contractiles): deprecate lust verb, absorb wishes into Intentfile

The `lust` verb carried unwanted associations. Its [[wishes]] schema
(horizon-grouped aspirations) was always a second expression of the
north-star axis already owned by `intend`. Unified under one roof:

- intend/Intentfile.a2ml now holds BOTH [[intents]] (committed
  next-actions with probes) AND [[wishes]] (near/mid/far horizon
  aspirations).
- intend/intend.ncl schema extended with optional wishes array;
  run behaviour adds emit_grouped_by_horizon.
- lust/ dir removed (Lustfile.a2ml + lust.ncl deleted).
- Verb count 7 → 6 (plus the k9 exception, unchanged).

Also reverts the 2026-04-17 Intentfile → Intendfile rename. The
canonical file name is the noun form, Intentfile.a2ml (the one
irregular case — all other verbs have identical verb and noun forms).
The runner stays intend.ncl and references paired_xfile = "Intentfile.a2ml".

Updated canonical docs (INDEX.a2ml, CONTRACTILE-SPEC.adoc, both
contractiles README/CANONICAL-TEMPLATES), _base.ncl status-values
comment, audit-contractiles.sh verb array.

Template copies in a2ml/, k9-svc/, rhodium-standard-repositories/ etc.
still reference lust/ and Intendfile.a2ml — those get cleaned up in a
follow-up propagation wave.

+#                its `[[wishes]]` semantics were absorbed here so the

+#                next-actions live together in one north-star view.
+#
+# CLI:
+#   contractile intend run       → print status table (both sections)
+#   contractile intend progress  → diff declared-vs-observed for intents
+#   contractile intend horizon   → group wishes by near/mid/far
+#
+# ADOPTER INSTRUCTIONS: Replace the example intents and wishes below with
+# project-specific content. Each intent should have a probe command that
+# returns exit 0 when the intent is done. Wishes are report-only and never
+# run a probe. Omit either section if not applicable; don't delete the file.
+
+@abstract:
+Seed Intentfile for the standards contractile template set. Demonstrates
+both sections: concrete intents with probes and horizon-grouped wishes.
+Adopters should replace these with real project commitments and aspirations.
+@end
+
+## Purpose
+
+The standards contractile template set commits to the intents declared
+below and points at the wishes on the horizon. The primary goal is to
+keep the contractile system complete, documented, and machine-verifiable
+so repos copying this template inherit a working operational framework.
+
+## Anti-Purpose
+
+This Intentfile is NOT:
+- A feature roadmap (that belongs in the project ROADMAP.adoc)
+- A hard gate (intend never blocks; see the `must` contractile for gates)

+## If In Doubt
