docs(splat-native): address review feedback on #34 (IVD-MDR → MDR Annex VIII Rule 11)
Follow-up to PR #34 (merged). Addresses one codex P2 finding. ## Fix — Regulatory basis for Rule 11 / Class IIa (codex P2) The §4 standards / vocabularies index cited "IVD-MDR Rule 11" as the EU SaMD risk classification for splat-native ultrasound. This is the wrong regulation. IVDR (the In-Vitro Diagnostic Regulation 2017/746) governs IN-VITRO DIAGNOSTICS (e.g., blood tests, immunoassays) and uses A-D risk classes. Ultrasound SaMD is regulated under the MDR (Medical Device Regulation 2017/745); the applicable classification rule is **MDR Annex VIII Rule 11**. Because this section is the regulatory cross-reference future D-SPLAT-14 (SaMD documentation track) work will follow, leaving the wrong regulation name would send the certification/evidence plan down the wrong rule set for the stated ultrasound device. Fix: corrects the IVD-MDR entry to MDR Annex VIII Rule 11 and adds a half-sentence call-out explaining that IVDR is a separate framework that does NOT govern this device. The Class IIa classification claim is unchanged (just attached to the correct regulation now). Companion fix in the lance-graph canonical plan (PR follow-up to #471) which had the same wrong citation in the D-SPLAT-14 row of both the plan body and the STATUS_BOARD. ## What's NOT in this PR - Source code: still none. Narrative-only doc. - The other regulatory standards (IEC 62366 usability, IEC 80001 risk, ISO 14971 risk-management) are unchanged. - The Class IIa classification claim itself is unchanged (it was correct; only the regulation citation was wrong). ## Test plan - [x] Codex P2 (regulatory basis) — IVD-MDR → MDR Annex VIII Rule 11. - [x] Cross-grep: no remaining IVD-?MDR references in this file. - [ ] Codex re-review on this PR.
