docs: point the superseded drafts at the design document
Twenty-three documents that MESHBAY_DESIGN.md absorbs gain a header saying so and naming the sections their content went to. None is deleted: code comments, tests and the documents themselves cite their sections and their labels, and each records reasoning a synthesis compresses. The header states the precedence, because two documents describing one system will disagree eventually: where a draft disagrees with MESHBAY_DESIGN.md the design document is right, and where either disagrees with the code the code is. Seven status lines were corrected on the way through, all of them claiming less than the truth. Videos, Music, Photos, partial-read hashing and account recovery were headed "proposal, not implemented" months after they shipped; the desktop client said "nothing here is implemented" with stages A through D running; draft v6 still called itself the current specification.

# reCAPTCHA on Registration and Password Reset
+> **Superseded by `MESHBAY_DESIGN.md`.** This was the registration and reset captcha; its design
+> content now lives in §7.7.
+>
+> It is kept because code comments, tests and other documents cite its
+> sections and its labels, and because it records reasoning a synthesis
+> compresses. **Where it disagrees with `MESHBAY_DESIGN.md`, the design
+> document is right; where either disagrees with the code, the code is.**
+> `MESHBAY_DESIGN.md` §16 maps every section reference here onto its
+> replacement, and §13 defines every label.

> Goal: verify the user is not a bot **before** sending any email — registration
> verification code or password reset code. The captcha gate sits between form
> submission and the email-sending call, so a failed check never triggers an email.
