Adds membership-allowances.md, the operator-facing record of the 2026-11-04 decision on how a member's monthly allowance renews and how a lapse is handled, plus a README index row.

Renewal is decided by asking Open Collective for a live recurring contribution, on the sweep's schedule, not from webhook delivery.
The reset is anchored to the member's join day, not the payment date (OC aligns charges onto a common billing day).
One reminder, then a grace window, then deactivate by removing group access while keeping the account.
No annual contributors exist (104 orders: 87 monthly, 17 one-time, zero annual), so only the monthly case is implemented.

Member-facing summary: co-op/support#44. Kept to the policy document and the README index row only, to avoid colliding with other work in this repo.

membership: record the allowance renewal and lapse policy (2026-11-04) c432edbae2

Renewal asks Open Collective for a live recurring contribution on the
sweep's schedule, anchored to the member's join day rather than the payment
date (OC aligns charges onto a common billing day). One reminder, then a
grace window, then deactivate by removing group access while keeping the
account. Member-facing summary: co-op/support#44.
