Subject: [PATCH] TEMP: test with a clean tree, no crossing/rejoining edges

7 nodes, strictly tree-shaped, no diamond merges (removed DNS-->Vault
and the EdgeProxy/SSO/InternalProxy branch entirely). If gap is gone,
the rejoining-path topology is the trigger, not raw node count.

 Solid arrows are real dependencies; dotted arrows are asynchronous telemetry reporting, not a blocking dependency. Full breakdown of all 8 traffic laws (ingress, east-west, secrets, DNS, observability, notifications, CI/CD, management) with the actual trust-boundary reasoning: [docs/architecture-overview.md](docs/architecture-overview.md).
