docs: le nommage de NextGraph l'emporte toujours — y compris sur nos propres règles

La règle que je venais d'écrire bannissait « publish » sans réserve. Or le
moteur emploie `publisher` 126 fois — `as_publisher`, `publisher_advert` — pour
un rôle pub/sub sur un topic. Une règle appliquée à la lettre aurait fait
rejeter du vocabulaire amont, ce qui est exactement l'inverse du but.

Le principe est donc posé au-dessus, et il prime sur tout : là où la cible a un
mot, c'est le mot, point. Ce qui reste banni est NOTRE « publier un document »,
qui n'a aucun référent en amont et recouvre trois actes distincts — placer dans
un store public, rendre trouvable, remettre une clé. Ça n'autorise jamais à
renommer ce que l'amont appelle `publisher`.

`publisher`, `topic` et `advert` rejoignent le vocabulaire déclaré du contrôle
de noms, avec la raison en commentaire.

Le renommage `publishRepoLink` → `recordInPublicStore` reste justifié : cette
méthode n'a pas de pendant amont, elle enregistre un document en store public
(et, artefact d'émulation, lui frappe une clé).
