docs(docs): replace Commonwealth with Settled Reach across docs

Browse Source 
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.

**Angry tell note:** Anger in the Commonwealth is internalized in public spaces. An angry NPC does not have an outburst. They move faster (shorter dwell times, quicker route execution), speak shorter sentences (Mellanie's domain), and avoid the person they are angry with if they can manage it. Avoidance is the primary behavioral tell. There is no raised fist or stamped foot. The station is a workplace; people here manage.
