no-mistakes(document): Fix stale compression-model docs across 4 contracts

Relieves Strix Halo thermal pressure by routing compression through
syslog-auto weighted pool (55% RTX 3090, 30% Strix Halo, 15% RTX 5070).

- compression.model: strix-moe -> syslog-auto
- auxiliary.compression.model: strix-moe -> syslog-auto
- Rule 7: Updated for syslog-auto compression distribution
- Rule 8: Updated GPU workload distribution with syslog-auto pool
- Description/version banners: Added 2026-07-18 change record
