Ludovic MarieandClaude Opus 5.5 8cdec2c8d9 Tidy the repository now that parity is reached: launcher-first README, docs index, research leftovers removed ...

Removed (each unreferenced by code, workflows, tests or living docs; no harness
dependency record names any of them, and parity.py --list still finds all 281):
- 22 one-off write-ups of the Java-pack experiments in docs/: adaptive-terrain,
  client-graphics-smoke, compact-headers, core-performance, culling-empty,
  culling-rays, debounce-queue, dispatch-retry, foreground-first,
  graphics-api-comparison, heap-budget, mac-first-test, optimization-plan,
  playable-validation, quad-reuse, server-graphics-context, shader-world-smoke,
  terrain-measurements, terrain-position, terrain-read-wait, tick-membership,
  worker-pacing. Their findings are folded into one paragraph of java-packs.md.
- 24 benchmarks/ observation dumps only those write-ups linked (client graphics,
  culling, queues, heap, Mac Vulkan, shader worlds, software identity, and the
  unlinked rust-core, rust-worldgen-2026-10-05, rust-native-client and
  rust-cuboid-model-decoding runs), plus 12 unlinked files inside kept
  report folders. The scoped-parity reports the living docs cite stay.
- debug/: one server log from a chunk investigation.
- The manual macos-shader-research and macos-vulkan-research workflows.
- tools/logs/latest.log, an empty log committed by accident (now ignored).

Kept: research-lock.json (parity.py, packaging, the launcher and datafix read
it), the Java-pack how-tos (vulkan, collectors, profiling, process-memory,
tick-state) and tools/test_client_graphics.py (ci.yml runs it).

README: leads with what Horizon is and "Download the launcher" (the
launcher-v* releases; the launcher updates itself), then build from source
for developers. Direct game downloads and PLAY.txt steps for players are gone;
the launcher has its own section with two screenshots. The roadmap merges the
known differences, the final checks and the plans after parity, under the
"Roadmap" heading the launcher's What's next page reads. The parity table and
its 100%-of-what-the-harnesses-compare note are unchanged.

docs/README.md indexes what remains: build and run, parity (status and
workflow), world generation, world data and simulation, the old Java track.
Links to the removed pages and README anchors are fixed.

packaging/PLAY.txt now speaks to players who came through the launcher and
points anyone with a bare archive to it, keeping the manual steps short.

The launcher's README link points at main instead of the launcher branch.
.gitignore: tools/logs/ and .DS_Store. No code behaviour changes; the compiler
and clippy flag no unused code and the tree has no stale TODOs.
