docs: Update Actorization playbook with badge link and resources (#2624)
Link the Actor ideas (open-source libraries) and Actor status badge pages from the actorization guide, and replace hard-coded stats with evergreen wording so the page won't drift. Also retitle the permissions page to "Actor permissions" while keeping its sidebar label as "Permissions". https://claude.ai/code/session_01KHwbiX8ycRe4dkYy471oSg --------- Co-authored-by: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
