docs: acknowledge Pane-A in core docs and rule files (#21)

* docs: acknowledge Pane-A in core docs and rule files (#20)

src/View.res renders four panes (Pane-A, Pane-L, Pane-N, Pane-W)
and the README table at lines 99-110 enumerates all four, but
several adjacent docs and rule files still framed the layout as
three panes (no Pane-A). This commit reconciles the most direct
"three panel(s)/pane(s)" claims with the implementation.

Touched:

- README.adoc: section heading "Three-Pane Parallel Layout"
  -> "Four-Pane Parallel Layout" (the table immediately below it
  already lists four).
- .claude/CLAUDE.md: "106 panels across three panes ..."
  -> four panes, with Panel-A added and a one-line note on the
  Binary Star core (L + N orbiting W) plus Panel-A's ambient role.
- .machine_readable/6a2/META.a2ml: Binary Star decision now
  enumerates four panels (three orbital + one ambient); the
  three-pane-layout key is renamed four-pane-layout, with
  position called out as design intuition rather than
  architectural fact (architectural relationship is by flow +
  viewing perspective).
- .machine_readable/6a2/ECOSYSTEM.a2ml: VeriSimDB mapping
  reframed as a mapping to the L/N/W panes of PanLL's four-pane
  layout (with Panel-A as ambient substrate, not part of the
  VCL-DT mapping).
- Six rule files (.cursorrules, .clinerules,
  .github/copilot-instructions.md, .junie/guidelines.md,
  .q/rules/coordination.md, .claude/CLAUDE.generated.md):
  binary-star "Decision: Three panel types ..." -> "Four panel
  types" with Panel-A added; the Why line now distinguishes
  the Binary Star orbital core (L + N around W) from Panel-A's
  ambient role.

Out of scope for this PR (Binary Star descriptions left intact):

- Lines 101 and 196 in the rule files are descriptions of the
  Binary Star architecture, which is genuinely a three-pane
  metaphor (L + N orbiting W). They are correct as written.
- Line 103 ("The three panel types serve fundamentally different
  roles") and line 186 ("Binary Star model has exactly three
  types") are also Binary Star claims; they are accurate when
  read as referring to Binary Star types specifically. Reframing
  them so they remain accurate in the presence of Panel-A
  requires more nuance than this PR aims to land — left for a
  follow-up.
- README.adoc:287 (v0.2.0 component enumeration) is a snapshot
  of v0.2.0 status; PaneA may not have been functional at that
  release, so left unmodified.

* docs(help): acknowledge Pane-A in user-visible help content (#20)

HelpContent.res had two stale entries that surfaced "three-panel"
framing to operators in the Help panel:

- "welcome" entry body (line 44): "...unified three-panel workspace"
  -> "...unified four-panel workspace (Panel-A ambient substrate,
  Panel-L logic/symbolic, Panel-N neural, Panel-W world/barycentre)".
- "three-panel-layout" entry (lines 56-64): renamed id and title to
  four-panel-layout, body rewritten to introduce Panel-A as ambient
  substrate, Panel-L's letter clarified as "Logic" rather than "left",
  and the "(left)/(centre)/(right)" position framing replaced with
  flow-and-perspective framing per the architectural model.
- Keywords on the layout entry extended: keep "three-panel" for
  backward search, add "four-panel", "panel-a", "ambient",
  "binary star".

The "three-panel-layout" id is referenced in only this file — no
inbound help-anchor links break.
