chore: add CI, crate metadata, and crate-level documentation

There was no CI of any kind — no workflows directory at all — despite a full
release pipeline (release.toml, cliff.toml, a maintained CHANGELOG, three
tagged releases). The workflow covers the feature combinations that actually
have distinct behaviour, including a release-profile job: `debug_assert!` is
compiled out there, which is exactly where the validation this branch added
has to hold, and a debug-only suite would never have seen it. Determinism is
checked at RAYON_NUM_THREADS of 1, 2, 4 and 8.

The Justfile gains test/lint/fmt/determinism recipes so the same checks run
locally with one command, and `just ci` runs the lot.

`Cargo.toml` had only name, version and edition, so `cargo publish` would
have been rejected. Added description, repository, readme, keywords,
categories, exclude, and `rust-version = "1.85"` — the edition-2024 floor,
now verified by a CI job. Two let-chains introduced earlier on this branch
would have pushed that to 1.88; they are rewritten to keep the floor where
it was.

`src/lib.rs` had no `//!` header at all, so the docs.rs landing page would
have been a bare symbol list — conspicuous given every other module has one.
It now explains what Through Time does differently, and carries three
runnable examples (which `cargo test --doc` checks, where previously there
was nothing to check), including the draw/p_draw interaction that is the
easiest way to get an error out of this crate.

`cargo publish --dry-run` now packages and verifies cleanly. The only
remaining blocker is `license`, which is yours to choose — noted as a TODO
in the manifest rather than picked unilaterally.

+//! TrueSkill Through Time — Bayesian skill rating over a time axis.
+//!
+//! Where plain TrueSkill gives each competitor one running estimate, TrueSkill
+//! Through Time treats a whole history as a single model and infers skill *at
+//! every point in time*. Evidence flows both directions: a result today
+//! sharpens the estimate of who someone was last year, so early estimates stop
+//! being frozen guesses and comparisons across eras become meaningful.
+//!
+//! This is a Rust port of
+//! [TrueSkillThroughTime.py](https://github.com/glandfried/TrueSkillThroughTime.py).
+//!
+//! # Getting started
+//!
+//! Record results, converge, then read off skills:
+//!
+//! ```
+//! use trueskill_tt::History;
+//!
+//! let mut history = History::default();
+//!
+//! history.record_winner(&"alice", &"bob", 1)?;
+//! history.record_winner(&"bob", &"carol", 2)?;
+//! history.record_winner(&"alice", &"carol", 3)?;
+//!
+//! let report = history.converge()?;
+//! assert!(report.converged);
+//!
+//! let alice = history.current_skill("alice").unwrap();
+//! assert!(alice.mu() > 0.0, "alice won every game she played");
+//! # Ok::<(), trueskill_tt::InferenceError>(())
+//! ```
+//!
+//! Teams, weights, explicit rankings and continuous scores go through the
+//! fluent event builder:
+//!
+//! ```
+//! use trueskill_tt::History;
+//!
+//! let mut history = History::builder().p_draw(0.1).build();
+//!
+//! history
+//!     .event(1)
+//!     .team(["alice", "bob"])
+//!     .team(["carol", "dave"])
+//!     .ranking([0, 1])
+//!     .commit()?;
+//!
+//! history.converge()?;
+//! # Ok::<(), trueskill_tt::InferenceError>(())
+//! ```
+//!
+//! # Draws need a draw probability
+//!
+//! A `p_draw` of zero asserts that draws cannot happen, so a tied result has
+//! no representable likelihood and is rejected:
+//!
+//! ```
+//! use trueskill_tt::{History, InferenceError};
+//!
+//! let mut history = History::default(); // p_draw defaults to 0.0
+//! let err = history.record_draw(&"alice", &"bob", 1).unwrap_err();
+//! assert!(matches!(err, InferenceError::TieWithoutDrawProbability { .. }));
+//! ```
+//!
+//! This also applies to [`Outcome::winner`] for three or more teams, which
+//! ties every loser. Configure a positive `p_draw` for those.
+//!
+//! # Core types
+//!
+//! - [`History`] — the top-level container: ingests events, runs
+//!   forward/backward message passing, and answers queries.
+//! - [`Gaussian`] — the probability type, stored in natural parameters
+//!   (`pi = 1/sigma²`, `tau = mu/sigma²`) so message passing is add/subtract.
+//! - [`Game`] — one match in isolation, for scoring a hypothetical without a
+//!   history.
+//! - [`Outcome`] — how a match ended: ranks, or continuous scores.
+//! - [`Rating`] — a competitor's static configuration (prior, `beta`, drift).
+//!
+//! # Feature flags
+//!
+//! - `approx` — implements [`approx`](https://docs.rs/approx) equality traits
+//!   for [`Gaussian`]. Useful in tests.
+//! - `rayon` — parallelises the within-slice sweep and the per-slice passes of
+//!   `learning_curves`/`log_evidence`. Opt-in; results stay bit-identical
+//!   regardless of worker count.
