logaritmiskandClaude Opus 5 31564b71a0 docs: document the whole public surface and deny(missing_docs)
80 undocumented public items, including three that are first contact:
`History::current_skill` — the method the crate's own first example calls
— `EventBuilder`, the type `h.event(t)` hands you, and `Gaussian::mu()`.
Now zero, and `#![deny(missing_docs)]` keeps it that way.

Several docs are measurements rather than readings of the code:

- `Outcome::Ranked` says ranks are used ordinally, so `[0, 1, 2]` and
  `[0, 5, 90]` are the same observation. Measured: bit-identical
  posteriors for both.
- `OwnedGame::log_evidence` says two identically-rated competitors give
  exactly `ln(0.5)`. Written as a doctest, so it runs.
- `Member::weight` says zero and negative are accepted. Measured.
- `ConvergenceReport::final_step` is `(|Δmu|, |Δsigma|)` in skill units,
  NOT natural parameters. That one had to be traced through
  `Gaussian::delta` rather than assumed from the neighbouring vocabulary.
- `GameOptions::score_sigma` rejects non-positive and NaN but accepts
  `+inf`, which is what the guard actually says.

README: it is the front door for a crate on a private registry, and it
opened with a link dump followed by 130 lines on drift. The first
`record_winner → converge → current_skill` block was at line 226 of 307.
It now leads with what the crate is, an install line, a quickstart, a
"which entry point?" table, and the `converge`-is-strict rationale that
was the crate's most opinionated recent decision and went unmentioned.
The two canonical examples disagreed on spelling (`History::default()`
vs `History::builder().build()`, `current_skill("a")` vs
`current_skill(&"a")`); they now agree. Five new README blocks are
doctested, taking the suite from 19 to 25.

`pub use smallvec;`. Four public items name `SmallVec` in their
signatures, and the only `Joint` example failed to compile from a
consumer crate with `unresolved import smallvec` — the dependency was in
the API but not reachable. Both worked examples now use the re-export,
so they teach the path that works downstream.

Vocabulary, from #75: "agent" was a fourth word for competitor, 200
occurrences, and it had reached public signatures before #73 un-exported
`TimeSlice`. Now zero.

Closes #77. Refs #75.

//! Typed event description for bulk ingestion.
//!
//! `Event<T, K>` is the public event shape taken by `History::add_events`. It
//! is a typed front end, not a replacement: `add_events` flattens it into the
//! nested `Vec<Vec<Vec<Index>>>` / `Vec<Vec<f64>>` / `Vec<Vec<Vec<f64>>>` that
//! the internal `add_events_with_prior` chokepoint still takes, and which
//! `record_winner` and `record_draw` also route through.
