docs(writeup): NeurIPS-workshop paper skeleton + tectonic compile recipe

Minimal LaTeX skeleton: outline + evidence tables (route2 n=3 deploy numbers
filled with provenance, vanilla pending jobs 74/84) + figures + verified refs
+ appendix (4-mode traces, 6/6/6/6 partition counts, pseudocode). Build
artifacts and figs symlinks gitignored. `just paper` compiles via tectonic;
`just paper-qc` dumps text + greps for unresolved refs / TODOs.

+% This file can be used with Latex2e whether running in main mode, or
+% 2.09 compatibility mode.
+%
+% If using main mode, you need to include the commands
+%             \documentclass{article}
+%             \usepackage{nips10submit_e,times}
+% as the first lines in your document.  Or, if you do not have Times
+% Roman font available, you can just use
+%             \documentclass{article}
+%             \usepackage{nips10submit_e}
+% instead.
+%
+% If using 2.09 compatibility mode, you need to include the command
+%             \documentstyle[nips10submit_09,times]{article} 
+% as the first line in your document.  Or, if you do not have Times
+% Roman font available, you can include the command
+%             \documentstyle[nips10submit_09]{article}
+% instead.
+
+% Change the overall width of the page.  If these parameters are
+%       changed, they will require corresponding changes in the
+%       maketitle section.
