Add Dart AOT depth (reference + 3 scripts); fix encoding rule and add P26

New reference:
- dart-aot.md: pinning the Dart version, building a matching decompiler, the object-pool
  model and reference indexes, register/boolean conventions, the three assembly signatures
  that identify most business logic, the locating workflow, patch strategy, and the traps
  specific to this layer (including ambiguous identifiers that resolve to protocol fields).

New scripts (parameterized, no machine-specific paths):
- dart_pprefs.py: object-pool offset -> code-site index, decoded arithmetically. Avoids the
  full-capstone pass that costs minutes and 1-2 GB and reads as a hang.
- dart_pool_strings.py: framed literal recovery with file offsets. Defaults to one-byte
  because automatic two-byte (UTF-16) detection is unreliable; --find searches both
  encodings and is the reliable way to locate a known literal.
- dart_disasm.py: annotated windowed disassembly (pool + boolean annotations) and a B/BL
  caller index that needs no disassembler.

Fixes and integration:
- framework-runtimes.md: point the Dart depth at dart-aot.md, and make the string-encoding
  rule precise (ASCII is one-byte/UTF-8; CJK is UTF-16LE) instead of leaving it as 'try both'.
- pitfalls.md: P26 -- self-built tooling that fails in a way that reads as a target finding
  (silent arithmetic, helper shadowing a stdlib module, measuring against an incomplete
  reference, and a knob that does not move the metric).
- SKILL.md / README.md: index the new reference and scripts.

Validated by running all three scripts against a real Dart AOT sample: the pool-ref index
agrees with an independently built index to 99.2%, and the literal extractor's one-byte
output was verified string-by-string against a decompiler's pool listing.

"""Dart AOT object-pool reference index: pool offset -> the instructions that load it.
WHY THIS EXISTS
---------------
blutter's `pp.txt` tells you what is *in* the object pool (strings, types, closures,
field metadata) but not which code reads it. "Who uses this string" is the most frequent
question in Dart AOT work, and it needs an index you build once and query constantly.
Building that index with a general-purpose disassembler is the trap here: decoding every
instruction of a multi-MB `.text` with detail enabled and asking for per-instruction
register writes costs minutes of CPU and 1-2 GB of peak memory, and on a 16 GB host it is
indistinguishable from a hang -- no output, no progress, nothing to interrupt. Only three
encodings can reach the pool, so this decodes them from the raw 32-bit words instead:
seconds, and a flat memory profile.
Recognised forms (AArch64, little endian), with x27 = pool base:
add xD, x27, #imm12, lsl #12 -> xD = x27 + (imm12 << 12)
ldr xD, [xN, #imm12 * 8] -> 64-bit or 32-bit variant
ldur xD, [xN, #simm9] -> 64-bit or 32-bit variant
A reference is either a direct load whose base is x27, or a load consuming the register an
ADD just derived from x27. The compiler emits that pair back to back, so a small window
keeps it exact without full liveness analysis.
USAGE
-----
python dart_pprefs.py libapp.so pp_refs.json # build the index
python dart_pprefs.py --lookup pp_refs.json 0x1d1a8 0xc9d0
python dart_pprefs.py libapp.so out.json --window 5 # widen the ADD->LDR window
NOTES
-----
* Offsets are **pool** offsets -- the `pp+0x...` space used by pp.txt -- not file offsets.
Keep the two spaces apart in your notes; conflating them costs hours.
* One offset commonly has many reference sites. Count them before editing the entry:
a shared constant will change behaviour everywhere at once (see references/dart-aot.md).
