Three path updates in docs/guide_tier2_autonomous.md to match the
actual code defaults (project-relative, in tests/artifacts/):
- Bootstrap callout block: scripts/tier2/state/ and
scripts/tier2/failures/ -> tests/artifacts/tier2_state/ and
tests/artifacts/tier2_failures/
- 'The failure report' section: scripts/tier2/failures/ ->
tests/artifacts/tier2_failures/
- Troubleshooting: 'Failcount state not found' and 'Tier 2 ran out
of context' both point at the right path now.

Four updates to docs/guide_tier2_autonomous.md:
1. Bootstrap step 5: removed the AppData dir creation step;
added a callout block explaining the 2026-06-18 reversal
('NEVER USE APPDATA', default locations are scripts/tier2/state/
and scripts/tier2/failures/).
2. Hard bans table row: 'File access outside Tier 2 clone + app-data
dir' -> 'File access outside Tier 2 clone (AppData, Temp,
Documents, etc. all denied)'; the layer-1 enforcement is now
described as 'permission.read/write path allowlist + *AppData\\*
bash deny'.
3. Failure report location: C:\\Users\\Ed\\AppData\\Local\\manual_slop\\tier2_failures\\
-> scripts/tier2/failures/ (inside the Tier 2 clone).
4. Troubleshooting: 'Failcount state not found' and 'Tier 2 ran out
of context' no longer reference <app-data>; they point at
scripts/tier2/state/<track>/ and \C:\Users\Ed\AppData\Local is dropped.

User feedback from the first sandbox run (send_result_to_send_20260616,
2026-06-17) identified 6 conventions Tier 2 must follow. Update the agent
prompt template, slash command template, user guide, and workflow doc:
1. Test runner: ALWAYS use 'uv run python scripts/run_tests_batched.py'
(NOT 'uv run pytest'). The batched runner provides tier filtering,
parallelization (xdist), and a summary table that direct pytest lacks.
2. Default branch: this repo uses 'master', not 'main'. The Tier 2 slash
command now does 'git fetch origin master' (was 'origin main').
3. Line endings: preserve existing. This repo has a mix of CRLF and LF;
a repo-wide LF standardization is a future track.
4. Throw-away scripts: write to 'scripts/tier2/artifacts/<track>/', NOT
the base 'scripts/tier2/' directory. The base is reserved for
production code; throw-away scripts are kept for archival but
isolated per-track.
5. End-of-track report: write 'docs/reports/TRACK_COMPLETION_<track>.md'
and update 'state.toml' to 'status=completed'. The user reads this
to decide merge. Previously this was implicit; now it's explicit.
6. Run-time expectation: tracks are 1-4 hours. If context runs out, Tier
2 notes progress to disk and continues. The --resume flag picks up
from the last completed task.
Also updated the user guide with a 'Conventions' section and a
troubleshooting entry for the resume flow. The verify-the-sandbox
checklist now uses 'origin master' instead of 'origin main'.
