docs(docs): replace Commonwealth with Settled Reach across docs
Updated in-universe "Commonwealth" references to "the Settled Reach" in decisions, architecture docs, design docs, workshop outputs, README, and wiki. Kept all references to Hamilton's books as inspiration/comparison in historical discussions and wiki-review workshop rounds. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

## Notes for Copy Team

1. **Aperture chamber is the in-world ritual.** Arriving via span gate is Commonwealth-mundane but the aperture ring has residual energy effects — ambient hum, slight color temperature shift as light normalizes from transit. Monologue lines for the detective's arrival should note this. Standard sensory detail for immersive-world arrivals.

2. **The customs inequity is not dramatic.** When the senior freight handler is waved through, it should read as routine from NPC behavior — a nod, a scan confirmed, the lane opens. Overheard dialogue, if any, should be procedural: manifest check language, not conversational. The player learns that something is wrong from the pattern, not from a flagrant scene.
|
||||
3. **The Commission inspector's gallery is their professional comfort zone.** Dialogue set in the gallery (if the detective accesses it) should reflect this — the inspector is at ease up here, slightly less guarded. On the floor, they are performing authority. In the gallery, they are just watching.
|
||||
4. **The operations manager on the freight staging floor.** This is their element. Logistics language, shorthand with the senior freight handler. Any casual conversation with the detective here is the operations manager on home turf — helpful enough, not forthcoming.
