docs(L5): Reverse RAG framing + no-embeddings + per-1k COGS at $0.33/kWh
- Frame the solution as a Reverse RAG (Merkle Providence Reverse RAG) with
  a link to the whitepaper (unfirehose.com/merkle-providence-reverse-rag-
  whitepaper — note: published on unfirehose, not uncloseai).
- New differentiator: NO vector embeddings — retrieval is lexical-first
  (FTS5 BM25 + Merkle), dense-vector optional + off by default; embedding
  10M docs costs 10-100x more/doc + a vector index to store/maintain. A
  big part of why COGS is low.
- COGS framed per 1,000 answers, labeled @ $0.33/kWh (intro + diagram cost
  node). Cost node clarified: no embeddings, NO reasoning (reasoning is the
  thing that would cost 4-6x, which we skip). Retrieval node + mapping
  table updated to lexical-first / no vector index.
