Add cross-project pattern registry for retrieval-augmented generalization

- Create patterns/ directory with README, manifest, and 10 initial patterns
  covering Ollama JSON fallback, API escaping, deprecation, PTY auth,
  queue-poll, LLM-as-parser, credential rotation, reverse proxy binding,
  human approval gates, and transient retry.
- Wire pattern loading into architecture/pipeline.js based on task tags.
- Update architecture/orchestrator.js to load patterns and surface them in
  the system prompt.
- Update MEMORY.md, ARCHITECTURE.md, and CONTEXT.md to document the registry
  and record the decision.
