feat(tropical-bridge): wire KnotTheory.jl RII into TangleGraph v0.2

- `_rii_neighbors` now calls `Main.KnotTheory.r2_simplify` via
  `from_dt` → `r2_simplify` → `to_dowker` pipeline; wrapped in
  try/catch for arc-renumbering gaps (known KnotTheory.jl v1.0.1 limit)
- `_riii_neighbors` documented as intentional no-op: `r3_simplify` is
  topology-preserving and returns the diagram unchanged in v1.0.1
- KnotTheory + AcceleratorGate added to Project.toml as dev deps
- `import KnotTheory` added to krladapter_integration.jl example;
  Case 5 pipeline verification added to demo_consonance()
- TROPICAL-BRIDGE.adoc gap table updated: RI+RII live, RIII pending
- STATE.a2ml updated for session; Intentfile/Mustfile corrected
  (were Burble copy-paste; now correct nextgen-databases content)

 ## Purpose
 
-Burble — // SPDX-License-Identifier: PMPL-1.0-or-later
+Nextgen Databases is a monorepo containing VeriSimDB (identity-persistent
+octad store with VCL proof clauses and tropical matrix consonance checking),
+QuandleDB (quandle-based knot invariant store), and Lithoglyph (graph-based
+storage). It is the primary dogfood target for KRLAdapter.jl and the
+verisim-modular-experiment proof-of-concept.
+
+Tropical proof work (Isabelle/HOL ↔ Julia mirror) lives in
+`tropical-resource-typing/` and is bridged to the VCL layer via
+`verisim-modular-experiment/impl/tropical/`.
 
 ## Anti-Purpose
 
 This project is NOT:
-- A fork or wrapper around another tool
-- A monorepo (unless explicitly structured as one)
+- A standalone database engine (sits above storage primitives)
+- A replacement for existing relational or document databases
+- A general-purpose time-series or event-sourcing store
+- A programming language implementation
 
 ## If In Doubt
 
 If you are unsure whether a change is in scope, ask.
-Sensitive areas: ABI definitions, license headers, CI workflows.
+Sensitive areas: VCL proof semantics, Isabelle/Julia tropical bridge,
+KnotTheory.jl integration boundary (KRLAdapter.jl / TangleGraph.jl only —
+never modify KnotTheory.jl directly).
