docs: mark TRIPOD/HERMES/ARTEMIS/CONSOLE.md superseded by FABRIC.md/FABRIC-2.md

Captain Bob ruled directly: all four subsystem docs are superseded, not
individually assessed for partial staleness case-by-case. FABRIC.md
(design history) and FABRIC-2.md (current/living) are the sole
design-of-record for Tripod/Hermes/Artemis/Console work now.

Added a superseded-header banner to the top of all four .claude/*.md
files, pointing to FABRIC.md/FABRIC-2.md. Corrected .claude/CLAUDE.md's
own pointer paragraph, which previously claimed these four were
individually "authoritative" for their subsystems - that's now wrong.

Closes FABRIC-2.md's three open documentation questions (CONSOLE.md's
fate, HERMES.md's stale block map, 5.3's larger shrink-the-docs ask) at
once: the header approach makes reconciling a superseded document's
internal accuracy moot, and accomplishes what "shrink to a pointer" was
already trying to do.

## The Pivot This Document Reflects
Console was first framed as "wrap the existing bitmap/VT100 framebuffer driver in a 4th Tripod VM." That framing is
