docs(svalinn): update all documentation for security hardening session
STATE.scm: session-006, completion 70→75%, new working-features for type-safe code, updated blockers and next-actions. META.scm: ADR-006 banning getExn/Obj.magic, type-safety-enforcement design rationale. CHANGELOG: security hardening section (33 getExn, 38 Obj.magic removed). README: status 90→75%, security hardening row, expanded project structure. security-roadmap: mark getExn/Obj.magic elimination and OIDC/RBAC complete. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
