0bcba26213 KB: land the EXPERIENCE-LEVELS decode from glass-cockpit (Cyd)
Brings Cyd's experience-level / simulation-mode research onto master (the
KB-decode portion of glass-cockpit 4e01e83; the bundled BT410 source
manifest is left for the full glass-cockpit merge).

- context/experience-levels.md (NEW): the egg per-pilot 'experience' field
  (novice/standard/veteran/expert) is the pod's SIMULATION-FIDELITY tier,
  decoded end-to-end. FUN_004c0bc8 reads btMission->experienceLevel(+0xe4)
  and fans it into the +0x25c/+0x260/+0x26c/+0x270/+0x274 flag block:
  +0x25c 'sim live' (novice lockout: jams/searchlight/powersub), +0x260 the
  HEAT-MODEL master switch (veteran+expert; FUN_004ad7d4), +0x274 raw level
  (FUN_004ac9c8 = ==0 novice predicate; the valve/advanced-cockpit lockout).
  4.0->4.10 drift: the viewscreen hunting-aid gate is GONE in 4.10 (HUD reads
  none of these flags), and movement heat is veteran+expert not expert-only.
- btplayer.cpp/.hpp: CORRECTED comments/labels -- the +0x25c..+0x274 block is
  seeded from btMission experienceLevel/advancedDamageOn, NOT the scenario
  role's returnFromDeath; the 'roleClassIndex/showKills' names are scoring-era
  mislabels. Code logic UNCHANGED (comment-only): the ctor still reads
  scenarioRole (STAND-IN, defaults 2 = veteran) pending the wiring task.
- Corrections swept into gauges-hud.md (ROOKIE->novice lockout),
  open-questions.md (player+0x260/0x274 semantics now PINNED),
  pod-hardware.md, subsystems.md, decomp-reference.md; CLAUDE.md router row.

No code-logic change -> no rebuild needed (comment + markdown only). The
runtime wiring (seed from BTMission::ExperienceLevel()) remains TODO.
