docs: consolidate self-reference design — flat MVP + fact-Core distillation
The two self-reference design docs were a sequential pair:

  self-reference-thought-chains-design.md  (96 lines, v1 MVP that
                                            shipped via 8de0044)
  self-reference-distillation-design.md    (208 lines, v2 fact-Core
                                            successor, design-only)

v2 explicitly named v1 as 'flat MVP' that 'falls short' and itself
as 'successor' — they're one story told in two files. Merge into

  docs/self-reference-design.md  (230 lines)

Structure: §1 problem statement, §2 v1 flat MVP (shipped),
§3 v2 fact-Core distillation (proposal), §4 v2 implementation
plan, §5 deliberate non-goals, §6 bench impact, §7 architectural
payoff. One narrative; the v1/v2 demarcation stays clear.

Net: 304 → 230 lines (-74), one file instead of two.

10/10 test_providence_source tests still pass.
