Bernt 78436cecc2 docs: Foundation Freeze v1.0 + directory reorganization
- FOUNDATIONS-v1.0.md:
  - Freeze contract for Landvex Design System
  - Scope: Motion, AI Principles, Semantic Colors, Grid, Elevation, Typography, RFC Template, Definition of Done
  - Reference components: Button, Input, Select, Card (all ~83%)
  - Invariants: token rules, component rules, accessibility rules, AI rules
  - Change policy: no new foundation concepts without v2.0 RFC
  - Versioning: 1.0.x patches, 1.x.0 new components, 2.0.0 new foundations
  - Compatibility matrix for all foundations and components

- Directory reorganization:
  - docs/design/foundations/ → frozen foundation documents
  - docs/design/components/ → component RFCs
  - docs/design/README.md → navigation and structure

- Foundation documents moved:
  - TOKEN_PHILOSOPHY, SEMANTIC_COLOR_SYSTEM, GRID_ELEVATION
  - AI_DESIGN_PRINCIPLES, COMPONENT_TEMPLATE, RFC_DEFINITION_OF_DONE
  - DESIGN_ANTI_PATTERNS, COMPONENT_DECISION_TREE, GLOSSARY
  - BRAND_PALETTE, RELEASE_DEFINITION, SEMANTIC_COLOR_SYSTEM_REVIEW

- Component RFCs moved:
  - RFC-002-Input, RFC-003-Select, RFC-004-Card

Rationale: Clear separation between foundations (stable platform) and
components (built on top). Foundations v1.0 frozen — components can be
added freely within v1.x, but foundations require v2.0 RFC to change.
This prevents gradual erosion of the design system architecture.

z-tooltip 60 Tooltips
z-dialog 70 Dialogs (highest)

7.2 Z-Index Rules

MUST NOT use arbitrary z-index values. MUST use tokens from the scale. MUST NOT exceed z-dialog (70).
