Apply BlackRoad brand design standards across all repository markdown files

[Copilot]

Repository markdown files lacked consistent BlackRoad brand identity — no badge headers, no platform links, no standardized visual structure across any of the docs.

Changes

• Brand header added to all top-level and subdirectory README.md files, plus INDEX.md, EXPANSION.md, SHA256.md — using shields.io for-the-badge badges with approved brand colors:
  • #FF0066 (Hot Pink / Primary)
  • #7700FF (Vivid Purple / Secondary)
  • #FF9D00 (Sunrise Orange / Accent)
• Brand footer added to README.md with platform links and copyright line

Badge pattern applied

<div align="center">

[![BlackRoad OS](https://img.shields.io/badge/BlackRoad-OS-FF0066?style=for-the-badge&logo=github&logoColor=white)](https://github.com/blackboxprogramming)
[![Platform](https://img.shields.io/badge/Platform-blackroad.io-FF0066?style=for-the-badge)](https://blackroad.io)
[![Org](https://img.shields.io/badge/Org-simulation--theory-7700FF?style=for-the-badge)](https://github.com/blackboxprogramming/simulation-theory)
[![Status](https://img.shields.io/badge/Status-Active-FF9D00?style=for-the-badge)](https://status.blackroad.io)

</div>

REAL.md intentionally left unchanged — two-line terse content with no markdown structure.

SHA256.md:14

• SHA256.md is presented as a verification document (File Integrity + History Chain Hash). Since this PR changes README.md (and adds new commits), the SHA-256 values and the commit-log hash recorded later in this document will no longer match the repository state after merge. Please regenerate and update the hashes/chain data so the verification steps remain accurate.
