docs: document asymmetric error handling in initTownAgentBeads (gt-m39yd)

Explain why agent bead creation failures are hard errors while role bead
creation failures are soft errors (log and continue).

Agent beads are identity beads that form the CV/reputation ledger foundation.
Role beads are documentation templates not required for agent operation.

// ERROR HANDLING ASYMMETRY:
// Agent beads (Mayor, Deacon) use hard fail - installation aborts if creation fails.
// Role beads use soft fail - logs warning and continues if creation fails.
//
// Rationale: Agent beads are identity beads that track agent state, hooks, and
// form the foundation of the CV/reputation ledger. Without them, agents cannot
// be properly tracked or coordinated. Role beads are documentation templates
// that define role characteristics but are not required for agent operation -
// agents can function without their role bead existing.
