working-with-the-agent: apply the agent's review (fleet, two handles, allowlist mechanism, deploy policy as practiced, off-switch access caveat)

- The co-op now runs more than one isolated agent; the page covers all of
  them and names infrastructure-bot.
- Disambiguates @inference-bot (automation account) from @inferencebot
  (the steward agent members instruct).
- Names the mechanism behind "admitted members": a per-agent allowlist
  plus mention-required rooms.
- Restates the deploy norm to match standing practice (bug and security
  fixes deploy immediately and are reported; member-visible or risky
  changes are confirmed first) and points a stricter norm at the forum.
- Off switch: who can actually reach it, and that stopping is not
  restarting.
