docs: cut-content research — article bodies recovered, claims verified vs decomp

All six TCRF article bodies were extracted (backlog/cut-content/articles/,
gitignored) and cross-referenced against src/ + assets/obseg/. Full verified
findings with file:line refs land in backlog/cut-content/RESEARCH.md.

Verified 1:1: the 11 unused cheats (CHEAT_ID enum vs cheat.c grant table),
music track index (MUSIC_TRACKS enum vs Notes-page GS index), MP character
table (~40 entries, 1.0446 eye height), all unused text strings (LmiscE/LgunE/
LpropobjE/LtitleE), build dates (compiletime.c), Spectrum emulator plumbing
(front.c MENU_SPECTRUM_EMU — only the transition is missing).

Corrections to TCRF/first pass: bg_dest is shipped Frigate geometry (not an
early version); cryp/dish are shipped Egypt/Temple; Library/Stack share
Basement's bg_ame; 28 of 29 unused items exist in the object table.

Tracked doc updated to point at the research file; backlog/ gitignored.

-The export covers six TCRF articles on GoldenEye 007 (N64):
-
-| Article | Export state |
-|---|---|
-| GoldenEye 007 (main) | **Body blocked** (Cloudflare challenge page). All ~172 article image *filenames* captured; images themselves are CF stubs. |
-| Unused items | **Body blocked**, but all 20 article images captured intact. |
-| Unused stuff by level | **Body blocked**, but ~150 article images captured intact (the richest page). |
-| Prerelease | **Body blocked**; image filenames + 7 YouTube embeds captured. |
-| Bugs / Notes | Body + images blocked; nothing usable. |
-
-So claims below are derived from (a) the captured image filenames/imagery, which
-are descriptive and map 1:1 onto ROM object names, and (b) direct cross-reference
-against the decomp source (`src/`) and extracted asset tables (`assets/obseg/`).
-Anything not verifiable in code/assets is marked **unverified** — re-scrape the
-article bodies (or read TCRF directly) before acting on those.
-
-Article imagery that *is* intact lives under the export's `*_files/` dirs; image
-names carry a per-page suffix (`_KYPp` main, `_LxbF` unused items, `_wAKT` by
-level, `_1vt` prerelease).
