87b84f8c75 docs: add project report with architecture diagrams
Comprehensive report for FPGA partner covering:
- System architecture and channel model
- LDPC decoder hardware blocks
- Code optimization journey (5.23 -> 1.03 photons/slot)
- SC-LDPC threshold saturation results
- RTL implementation plan and area estimates

Includes 10 figures: system architecture, channel model,
degree distributions, FER curves, threshold progressions.

b4d5856bf9 data: add SC-LDPC results and comprehensive comparison plots
SC-LDPC threshold saturation results:
- SC original staircase: 2.28 photons/slot (vs 4.76 uncoupled)
- SC DE-optimized: 1.03 photons/slot (vs 3.21 uncoupled)
- Shannon limit: 0.47 photons/slot (remaining gap: 3.4 dB)

Add CLI to sc_ldpc.py (threshold, fer-compare, full subcommands).
Add threshold progression, SC threshold bars, and SC FER plots.

49c494401b data: add Z=128 pipeline results and comparison plots
Run FER validation at Z=128 with normalized min-sum (alpha=0.875).
Best alpha found via sweep: 0.875 (threshold 2.90 photons/slot).
Z=128 matrix achieves girth=8 vs girth=6 at Z=32.
Add Z=128 vs Z=32 FER comparison plot.
