fix: point the HUMANS.md counterpart references at the file that exists

Why: three governance documents cited `docs/HUMANS.md`, which has never existed -- the human
practitioner rules live at `docs/wiki/HUMANS.md`. One of the three is
`core/instructions/governance.md`, which is `@`-imported into every session in every project,
so an agent following its "read it when making decisions not covered here" pointer hit a dead
path. That file was self-inconsistent: line 73 already cited the correct path while line 82 did
not.

Implementation notes: five occurrences corrected across three files --
`core/instructions/governance.md:82`, `docs/research/governance_principles/CONTROLS.md:5,101,106`,
and `docs/ai-constitution.md:238`. Text is otherwise untouched; this is a path correction only,
not a change to any governance rule. Marked the defect fixed in SIMPLIFICATION-AUDIT.md, which
recorded it in two places as outstanding.

Impact: no rule, gate or behaviour changes. The deployed copy at
`~/.claude/core/instructions/governance.md` no longer matches the repo and stays stale until
`scripts/install.sh` re-runs; it was byte-identical before this commit.

This file specifies the enforcement layer: controls that run mechanically, regardless of human or agent intention.
**Why this file exists:** Agent instructions and human practitioner rules are probabilistic — they depend on attention and intent. This layer removes that dependency. A control that runs automatically in CI enforces a principle more reliably than any instruction in any file. Where a principle can be enforced deterministically, it must be.
