Consumer-POV fieldtest evidence for the two-tier project model: the
data-only quickstart, the role-2 attach loop, real-data usage inside a
data-only project, and the refusal surfaces all match the docs.

Inline fixes for two of the friction findings:
- docs/project-layout.md: the day-in-the-life run example now shows real
  Unix-ms window bounds instead of bare years (--from/--to take ms).
- `aura new` --help one-liner no longer calls the project a crate.

Remaining findings tracked on the Gitea queue (empty first-manifest
provenance on a fresh scaffold; misleading no-data message for an
uncovered --real window; the tier hint missing on the graph-build path;
the raw cargo-metadata leak for a missing [nodes] dir).
