docs: add HIPAA-ready positioning for architecture and pitch

- clarify BEDS is compliance-friendly architecture, not certification
- add healthcare/regulated deployment framing to visual brief
- document controls BEDS provides vs contract implementation responsibilities
- update wiki index description for regulated-deployment positioning

Changing a node's role means changing its config file and restarting. No code changes. No redeployment.
## Compliance-Oriented Deployment Pattern
BEDS can be used as the architecture baseline for regulated workloads (including healthcare contracts) because it enforces transport and execution boundaries by design.
Important framing:
- BEDS is not a compliance certification
- BEDS is a control-friendly runtime architecture
- Final compliance posture depends on infrastructure, policy, and operational practice
Why this architecture helps:
- AMQP-first messaging centralizes request flow and transport governance
- Template-driven dispatch limits ad hoc query behavior in application code
- Class -> Schema -> Base I/O layering keeps business logic separate from storage concerns
- Event lineage enables request-chain reconstruction for audits and incident review
What must be added in deployment for HIPAA-class programs:
- At-rest encryption and key lifecycle controls
- Strong service identity and TLS policy in production
- Access governance, least privilege, and operator accountability
- Log retention, backup/restore validation, and incident response processes
