b24be4bbc0 reachability: mode boundaries + comprehensive WALKTHROUGH.md
Adds mode_boundaries to predicates.json: per-DRC-mode X_entry, X_safe,
X_exit, T_max/T_min with the equilibrium-vs-transition taxonomy the
user articulated during walkthrough. T_max values are engineering-
reasonable guesses (5 hr heatup, 60 s scram); T_min = 7714 s for
heatup is physical floor from 28 C/hr rate limit over 60 F span.

WALKTHROUGH.md is a standalone document — read it cold without needing
the transcript. Covers:
  - Per-mode reach-obligation taxonomy (eq. vs trans.)
  - Formal reach-avoid claim per mode
  - Mode boundary concretizations (X_entry/X_safe/X_exit/T_max)
  - File-by-file code walkthrough of every reach artifact
  - Results: operation reach passes all 6 inv2 halfspaces; Lyapunov
    barrier fails all 6 (fundamental anisotropy limitation, quantified
    via the OL/CL comparison)
  - Caveats: soundness, alpha drift, saturation, DNBR, cold-shutdown
  - Next: nonlinear reach via JuliaReach TMJets

This is the 'prelim example' doc; thesis defense will need real tech-
spec numbers replacing the placeholders.

Hacker-Split: user asked for standalone walkthrough capturing the
analysis step-by-step with figures embedded. This is that.
