Subject: [PATCH] refactor: rename Sentinel to toolgauge everywhere user-facing

"sentinel" collided as a PyPI import name (the `sentinel` package installs a top-level
sentinel module), as a command (HashiCorp Sentinel), and as a brand (mcp-sentinel is
another MCP testing project). Renames the distribution, import package, command, rule
namespace (TOOLGAUGE/...), config file, environment variables, history service binary,
Docker image, GitHub Action and pre-commit hook.

Kept: the repository URL and Go module paths, the reference server's internal names
(database, dev headers, *.sentinel.local), the frozen sentinel/approx-v1 tokenizer id,
"sentinel error/value" programming terms, and historical design docs and changelog entries.
Old baselines still load (sentinelVersion is read as a fallback).

 ## 0.4.0
 
+### Renamed: Sentinel is now toolgauge
+
+The project was called Sentinel. That name collided in three places: the PyPI package `sentinel`
+installs a top-level `sentinel` module, HashiCorp's Sentinel policy tool installs a `sentinel` command,
+and `mcp-sentinel` is a different MCP testing project. Everything user-facing is now `toolgauge`: the
+PyPI distribution, the import package, the command, the rule namespace (`TOOLGAUGE/...` instead of
+`SENTINEL/...`), the config file (`toolgauge.toml`), environment variables (`TOOLGAUGE_*`), the
+history service (`toolgauge-server`), the Docker image and the GitHub Action. Baselines written by an
+earlier build still load (`sentinelVersion` is read as a fallback); their `SENTINEL/` rule ids no
+longer match, so recreate a baseline after upgrading. The reference server's internal names (database,
+dev headers, `*.sentinel.local`) and the repository URL are unchanged.
+
 The harness stops being a one-shot grader and becomes something a team runs.
