Summary

Adds a new documentation page (docs/topics/faq.md) covering ACS positioning, scope, paradigm support, deployment, operations, and roadmap.

The FAQ answers questions from four audiences (enterprise security teams, framework implementers, researchers, press) on one page, sourced from the merged v0.1.0 spec. No normative claims beyond what docs/spec/conformance.md defines.

What lands

  • docs/topics/faq.md — new file, ~25 Q&As across six sections (About ACS / Scope and boundaries / For framework implementers / For enterprises / For researchers and paradigm authors / Versioning and roadmap)
  • mkdocs.yml — one-line nav addition adding the FAQ under the existing Topics group
  • Diagrams are ASCII box art in fenced code blocks (architecture, decision-failure flow, profile composition, paradigm-to-wire mapping). No mermaid plugin required.

Test plan

  • mkdocs serve renders the new page under Topics → FAQ
  • ASCII diagrams render correctly in MkDocs Material, GitHub, and VSCode markdown preview
  • No broken internal links

Two new questions under About ACS:
- What is a hook? (with airport-security analogy)
- How does it all combine in one session? (four-step walkthrough of
  handshake -> action -> audit -> seal)

Both written in simple language, no spec internals or jargon. The hook
question gives a reader the building block; the session question shows
how the three pillars combine in one runtime story.

PR Agent-Control-Standard#21 promotes subagentStart and subagentStop from SHOULD to MUST in
the ACS-Core hook minimum (8 hooks instead of 6). Update the FAQ to
match:

- "How do I make my framework ACS-conformant?" lists subagent hooks in
  the mandatory floor with a short justification.
- "What if my framework does not have a particular hook surface?" no
  longer lists subagent hooks under "Additional hooks (SHOULD)";
  they are now part of Core.

Frameworks without a sub-agent abstraction satisfy this requirement
vacuously, which is the same shape as the merged spec's "implement
when observable" pattern.

Merge-order note: hold this until #21 lands, and reconcile the FAQ to the slimmed floor before merging. Right now faq.md is half-aligned, so it contradicts whichever conformance.md it sits next to.

Fix is small: update those FAQ lines to match #21's floor, then merge after #21. No git conflict with #21 (different files), so this is sequencing for consistency, not a rebase.

cc @afogel since you approved this. The catch before merge is the FAQ reconcile plus ordering after #21. @bar-capsule
