- PHYSICAL_REALIZATION.md: replace stale "1 tile = 1 burst" layout
description with the real EXP-0081/0082 "2 tiles = 1 burst" convention;
add EXP-0082 signoff row and history table.
- ARCHITECTURE_ANALYSIS.md: mark §5.1 (denser activation packing) DONE with
real re-measured numbers (bandwidth ceiling fraction 25%->50%, WNS
+0.030->+0.068ns); add §5.4, the real device-data-backed comparison of
32-bit single-channel widening vs a second independent DDR3 channel
(decided: 32-bit widening, per real DQS/bank pin-conflict analysis);
update scaling-path recommendation to reflect the user's final directive
(widen channel -> build DDRManager -> N=2/4/8/16 tests, N=8 target, N=16
documentary).

Before building N=4/8/16 core scaling, did the requested full
analysis. Real finding: using measured DDR3 throughput (1.24 GB/s,
from the actual EXP-0079 JEDEC trace) against calculated compute-side
need (4.96 GB/s for one core at peak DSP throughput, given the
current activation memory layout's 2x byte overhead), the system is
memory-bandwidth-bound already at N=1/N=2, not DSP-bound (only 6.67%
DSP used). Scaling core count today would show no real throughput
gain.
docs/ARCHITECTURE_ANALYSIS.md: full module review + ranked
interventions -- result-writeback engine (blocker), denser activation
packing (highest-leverage bandwidth fix), then the user's own proposed
DDRManager/orchestrator-prefetch idea (design-sketched, grounded in
neural_director_packed.v's existing job queue, explicitly scoped as
complementary to denser packing, not a substitute for it), THEN
N-scaling with real per-N P&R signoff.
