docs(phase6d): document the ROOT Foundations milestone

Browse Source 
Adds PHASE6D_ROOT_FOUNDATIONS.md (the phase's own record: the generic-scenario-engine finding,
the tested container-runtime decision, what was authored, the bugs found and fixed, and honest
test/regression/rehearsal results) and ROOT_FOUNDATIONS_PILOT_READINESS.md (module-by-module
READY/DEFERRED classification for ROOT 01-04 against the unchanged Phase 6C readiness standard —
ROOT 01 READY, ROOT 02-04 DEFERRED by design).

Adds ROOT_PROGRAM_DURATION_MODEL.md — real per-course instructional-hour totals computed from
actual estimated_duration_minutes values (2,931 minutes / 48.9 hours across all authored
content), not invented, with an explicit note on why instructor-led timing isn't a separate
summable field yet.

Updates ROOT_PROGRAM_ARCHITECTURE.md (ROOT 01's new READY status and the real 01-04 prerequisite
chain), ROOT_PILOT_CURRICULUM.md (ROOT 01 added to the pilot, module-level detail), and
ROOT_CURRICULUM_COVERAGE_MATRIX.md (updated module/scenario totals) to reflect what Phase 6D
actually built, without restating Phase 6C's own Kubernetes-scenario tables.

## Bottom line
Every module the pilot's required completion path depends on (ROOT 05-07, 09-10, 12, Capstone)
meets the READY bar for instructor-led delivery. Three specific modules run instructor-led only
this pilot. ROOT 08 and most of ROOT 11 are explicitly out of the required path. Given that
scope, the pilot curriculum, delivered instructor-led, is ready.
Every module the pilot's required completion path depends on (ROOT 01, 05-07, 09-10, 12,
