6555e774d9 Telescope review: all 23 active iTelescope systems
Adds TELESCOPES.md, a per-observatory review of every telescope on the
iTelescope.net network with a spec block and an assessment for each, a
'choosing a telescope' use-case table, and general observations (CCD to CMOS
migration, Bin2 software limits, elevation limits, network-side calibration).

Data sourcing:
- data/itelescope-telescopes.csv is a verbatim CSV export of iTelescope's
  maintained specs Google Sheet (24 rows: 23 active scopes + T74 placeholder).
- The support article (Freshdesk 247371) supplied observatory groupings and
  minimum elevation limits; it still lists T9/T19/T31/T69 which the sheet has
  dropped - the review follows the sheet and records the discrepancy.
- go.itelescope.net is an authenticated app shell; nothing was scraped from it.

Also fills in the remaining state/ files: TODO (pending: T74 specs, retired
scope reconciliation, periodic sheet refresh), DECISIONS (source-of-truth
choice, single-document structure, no launchpad scraping), NOTES (refresh
command, CSV quirks), ARCHITECTURE (repo layout), and README.

3fad877dee Bootstrap: Default Workflow scaffold
Repo created for a reference/review of the iTelescope.net remote telescope
network. This commit copies the Default Workflow in (CLAUDE.md and docs/ from
the Default-Workflow repo), adds a .gitignore (secrets and scratch), and fills
in state/PROJECT.md with the objective: review every telescope on the network
and provide a choosing guide, using only public sources (support article and
the maintained Google Sheet; the go.itelescope.net launchpad is login-only).
