docs(decisions): add Q-056 zone spec location_context field

Browse Source 
Zone specs need a location_context field (surface/station/vessel) so
the generator can filter environment-specific behaviors. Raised during
PR #88 review — rural zone had sky/weather references that only make
sense on a planet surface.

### Q-056: Zone spec needs location_context field (surface/station/vessel)
- **Status:** Open
- **Raised:** Sprint 25 PR #88 review (Miri)
- **Context:** Rural zone spec behaviors reference sky, weather, and diurnal heat — only valid on a planetary surface, not inside a station. The current `ZoneSpec` struct has no field for environment context. Without it, the generator can't distinguish surface-rural from station-rural, and behavior strings may be incoherent for the location.
- **Question:** Should `ZoneSpec` include a `location_context` enum (Surface/Station/Vessel) that the generator uses to filter or modify environment-specific behaviors? Or should zone specs be authored per-context (e.g. `rural-surface.ron`, `rural-station.ron`)?
- **Implications:** Affects all zone spec authoring going forward. The generator's ability to extrapolate from minimal input depends on knowing whether "rural" means open sky or sealed corridors.
- **Cross-reference:** D-012 (chunk-based map), D-036 (Krenn/Sova setting), D-104/D-105 (heritage roots), #609 (zone identity spec)
- **Assigned to:** Tyre, Miri
