handoff: VSync/event-wedge fixes + iterate 2.A–2.BC research notes

Source changes (dormant parity infra, retained from iterate 2.AI/2.AO):
- xenia-kernel/exports.rs: nt_create_event manual_reset polarity +
  related event wiring
- xenia-gpu/mmio_region.rs: D1MODE_VBLANK_VLINE_STATUS hardcode parity

Also lands the audit-runs/ analysis notes (.md/.txt/.json digests) for the
iterate 2.x VSync/0x10e8/0x1004 wedge investigation. Raw trace dumps
(.jsonl/.gz/.csv/.stdout) and agent worktrees (.claude/) are gitignored as
regenerable local artifacts — see memory + HANDOFF for the running findings.

+# Phase A diff report
+
+**This report is the output of Phase A's diff harness. Divergences
+shown here are INPUT for Phase B (first-divergence localization),
+not findings of Phase A.** Phase A's job is to make the harness
+itself correct, not to analyze what it surfaces.
