feat(infospace): add entity-relation graph export (Mermaid + DOT)

New graph_export.py module supporting the `markitect infospace graph`
command added in the previous commit.

- build_entity_graph(): constructs node/edge graph from L2 classifications
  and L3 relation triplets, with feedback loop detection via networkx
- apply_filters(): subgraph filters by entity type, VSM system, ego
  neighbourhood, feedback-loops-only, and classified-only
- to_mermaid(): Mermaid flowchart export
  - Uses "-- label -->" syntax for all edges (robust with parentheses);
    "== label ==>" thick arrows for feedback loop edges
  - markdown_fence=True wraps output in ```mermaid block (VS Code / GitHub)
  - color_by="type" or "vsm" with distinct palettes for each
- to_dot(): Graphviz DOT export with fillcolor per type/VSM system

 ## 13. Using the Infospace as a Discipline
 
 A completed, viable infospace can itself become a **discipline** — a lens
-applied to a new topic. For example, the Wealth of Nations infospace could
-be applied to analyse a modern supply chain.
+applied to a new topic. The working example is in
+`examples/supply-chain-vsm/`: it binds this WoN infospace as a discipline
+and applies Smith's framework to modern supply chain management.
+
+### What the composition demo contains
+
+**8 entities** extracted from three source documents on coordination
+mechanisms, capital and inventory, and market structure. Each entity
+maps to a specific WoN concept with a rationale and conceptual continuity
+rating (Strong / Moderate / Weak):
+
+| Supply Chain Entity | WoN Concept | Strength | VSM |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| Demand Signal | Effectual Demand | Strong | S2 |
+| Vendor-Managed Inventory | Division of Labour | Strong | S1/S2 |
+| Just-in-Time Inventory | Circulating Capital | Strong | S1/S3 |
+| Bullwhip Effect | Natural Price as Central Price | Moderate | S2 |
+| Safety Stock | Accumulation of Stock | Moderate | S3 |
+| Platform Intermediary | Merchant Capital | Strong | S2/S4 |
+| Monopsony Power | Combination of Masters | Strong | S3* |
+| Single-Source Dependency | Monopoly in Trade | Moderate | S4/S5 |
+
+Because WoN entities are already mapped to VSM systems, supply chain
+entities **inherit VSM positions by transitivity** — the supply chain
+infospace gets VSM coverage without needing its own VSM reference.
+
+### Running the composition demo

 before it can be used as a lens. If the discipline's entities change,
-dependent mappings are flagged for re-evaluation.
+use `markitect infospace stale-mappings` to identify mappings that need
+re-evaluation.
+
+### The WoN core entity reference
+
+Rather than injecting all 988 WoN entities into every prompt (which
+would overflow context), the supply chain demo uses a curated reference
+file at `artifacts/won-reference/core-entities.md` — 12 key WoN entities
+selected for their relevance to operations and market structure. The
+pipeline stage macro `@{won_core_entities}` injects this file.
+
+For a different topic, create an equivalent curated reference of the
+WoN entities most relevant to your domain.
