Remove Opus from the cheaper-model escalation option.

Rule 16 bars top-tier models for upkeep work. Its escalation option lists Opus as a cheaper model. Opus is conventionally the highest Claude tier, so the escalation option can route upkeep work to a top-tier model. This contradicts the prohibition in the same rule. The repository does not define the model tiers, so the conflict depends on that classification.

The fix belongs in the source doctrine that the template sync copies. Update that source, then regenerate CLAUDE.md. The same text appears at CLAUDE.md:31.

Suggested fix 

-If it needs real effort, stop and say so, then open a thread on cheaper models (Sonnet and Haiku, or Opus, Sonnet and Haiku). Keep top-tier models for proof work and hard design.

Review comment at @.machine_readable/arrival-pack/arrival-pack.ncl at line 51:
Update Rule 16 in the source doctrine to list only Sonnet and Haiku as cheaper-model escalation options, keeping the restriction on top-tier models for upkeep work. Then regenerate CLAUDE.md through the established template-sync process so its copied text matches the source.

Not changed in this PR. Rule 16 is copied verbatim from the merged template (hyperpolymath/rsr-template-repo#324), and the same text is already on main in about 20 estate repos. Editing it here would make this repo diverge from the template. Whether Opus belongs in the list is the owner's decision, and if the wording changes it should change in the template first and then roll out to every repo. I have raised it with the owner.

@hyperpolymath Thanks for the clarification. A repo-only edit would create template drift, so I won’t ask for one in this PR.

The owner’s decision on the wording is still pending, so I’m not marking the finding as addressed. If it is not already tracked, would you like me to open a follow-up issue in this repository for the upstream decision?

Learning: Within repository "hyperpolymath/anytype", only for files matching one of [".machine_readable/arrival-pack/arrival-pack.ncl"]: When reviewing a proposed wording change to the estate-common doctrine in `.machine_readable/arrival-pack/arrival-pack.ncl`, check it against the upstream template. If a wording correction is needed, recommend changing the template first and then syncing this repository, rather than introducing repo-only wording that creates drift.
