Add STATE.scm project checkpoint file

Create comprehensive project state documentation following the
hyperpolymath/state.scm format. Includes:
- Current position: initialization phase (2% complete)
- Route to MVP v1: phased roadmap (pending requirements)
- Issues: 7 identified blockers and improvements
- Questions for user: blocking and important clarifications
- Long-term roadmap: v0.1 through v3.0 vision

Critical blocker: Project purpose is undefined. Cannot proceed
with implementation until tech stack and requirements are clarified.
