18 — DOC: Operational runbooks (stubs)

What to build

Add operational runbook stubs for alpha operators under docs/runbooks/ (or .scratch/alpha-hardening/runbooks/ until close-feature):

1. Ledger backup — billing SQLite, accounts SQLite, registry DB paths; gossip pause procedure
2. Treasury key rotation — devnet mock-USDT mint + treasury keypair rotation without double-credit
3. Upgrade path — tracker rolling restart with persisted strike/reputation (post issue 05)

Acceptance criteria

• Three markdown runbook stubs with prerequisites, steps, rollback
• Reference ADR-0015 settlement loop and ADR-0016 trust assumptions
• Secrets handling: never commit .env.devnet, keypairs
• No production code changes

ADR links

• ADR-0015
• ADR-0016

None (stubs can land before issue 05; update after persistence ships)
