Massively updates the README to give the engine a hero and a "why".

Hero animations (reused from the carrier repo). Two looping GIFs lead the README — the main and mini PGA2350 carriers running the ghostshow firmware's effects.c light show on their 24-pixel WS2812 ghost matrix, auto-rotating in the RP2350 dashboard HUD. The caption makes the connection explicit: every WS2812 bit driving that show is produced by this engine stepping the Hazard3 core through the RP2350 bootrom, SIO, timers, and PIO.

New "Why a digital twin" section. Frames the engine as the brain inside the carrier's simulation — fail in software, not silicon — and links the Vite/TS dashboard that drives it.

All existing technical content (lineage & credit, the 19 RISC-V fixes, quick start, layout) is preserved verbatim. GIFs live under docs/ and are excluded from the npm package (files: ["dist"]).

No code changes — README + assets only.

Lead the README with the two PGA2350 carrier hero animations — the ghostshow
firmware's effects.c light show on each board's 24-pixel WS2812 matrix, the
same WS2812 bitstream this engine produces while stepping the Hazard3 core
through the RP2350 bootrom, SIO, timers, and PIO. Add a "Why a digital twin"
section linking the engine to the carrier it was built to bring up, and reuse
the GIFs under docs/.
