docs: solver literature survey; explicit, EOS, lattice Boltzmann and FSI milestones (#17)

Owner decisions 2026-10-13: own solvers beyond linear (explicit dynamics with equations of state,
lattice Boltzmann CFD, fluid-structure interaction; blast fluids after), flow first; published
reference values allowed as a tagged benchmark suite beside the analytic gate; GPU backends
deterministic per device and checked against the bit-exact CPU path; layered crates (fem kernels,
solvers, fsi). ADR 0001 lists the GPL-family solver codes (Palabos, OpenFOAM, ...) and the
readable references.

where we aim to be clearly better: parametric geometry from SolidCraft, sets that survive
remeshing, automatic hex partitioning, undo, a text-diffable model and agent control.

The capability checklist is [docs/parity.md](docs/parity.md). Beyond the pre-processor and the
linear solver come our own explicit, CFD (lattice Boltzmann) and fluid–structure solvers (M10–M14;
