initial seed: retrofit campaign lineage from local working trees

panvk-bifrost campaigns (r1..r4 Vulkan compositor + r5.video1 Vulkan
video decode) shipped before this repo existed; the deliverable
patches live in marfrit-packages, but the reasoning chain, phase docs,
and source-state evidence lived only in local working trees on the
development host.

This retrofit imports:
- mesa-panvk-bifrost/   — r1..r4 era phase docs (iter1..iter18)
                          (libmali stub blobs at iter18/blob/ excluded
                          — 109MB of RE artifacts replaced with a README
                          pointer)
- mesa-panvk-bifrost-video/ — sibling campaign phase docs + probe
- evidence/             — frozen .tgz source snapshots at each milestone
                          (basis for the 0005 patch diff generation)

Future iterations should branch off here from day one, so each iter is
a commit rather than a snapshot. See [[feedback-session-local-process-pins]]
for the process drift this retrofit closes.

Total: 1.9 MB across 124 files.

+Subject: panvk: expose Vulkan 1.1 + 1.2 on Bifrost (PAN_ARCH 6/7)
+
+ANGLE (Chromium's GL stack) requires apiVersion >= 1.1 to initialize. Without
+this, Brave / Chromium's GPU process fails at GL info collection:
+
+  vk_renderer.cpp:2659 (initialize): ANGLE Requires a minimum Vulkan device
+                                     version of 1.1
+  Display::initialize error 0: Internal Vulkan error (-9): The requested
+                               version of Vulkan is not supported by the driver
+
+Stack-up with iter8's robustness2 patch enables ANGLE → PanVk-Bifrost →
+Skia (via --enable-features=Vulkan) on Bifrost SBCs.
+
+PanVk-Bifrost already supports the bulk of 1.1-promoted features as extensions
+(multiview, maintenance1-3, descriptor update template, 16-bit storage,
+descriptor update template, sampler ycbcr, variable pointers, etc. — all
+visible in iter0 vulkaninfo). The version bump primarily bundles them.
+
+Risk: Vulkan 1.1 has features beyond what iter1–7 exercised (protected memory,
+full subgroup ops). Specific app failures will be characterizable.
+
+1.2 is also flipped — Brave's Vulkan path may want descriptor indexing,
+buffer device address, etc. (all listed in iter0 vulkaninfo as supported
+extensions, just gated as 1.0-with-extensions, not 1.2-core).
