docs(agents): gate irreversible operations and generalize preview validity

Browse Source 
State the destructive-and-high-impact section as a principle: irreversible operations need explicit authorization, destructive or force operations form a separate categorical gate, and unpublished history rewrites are exempt at section level. Generalize infrastructure preview invalidation to any input change, and add an irreversible-action eval scenario.
