Frame NetKingdom as capability-driven turn-key IT-sec framework

Make the lightweight->expanded decision explicitly capability-driven (not
scale-driven) and capture the turn-key, capability-selectable framework
ambition.

- arch doc: add capability-driven rationale to the identity-mode choice;
  add a "Capability Progression (Start Small -> Enterprise)" ladder
  (C0 bootstrap -> C6 self-optimizing), including the C2a/C2b 2FA split
  (Authelia built-in vs privacyIDEA); answer the lightweight/expanded
  open question as capability-driven
- INTENT.md: recast Progressive Expansion as capability-driven with a
  no-structural-breaks guarantee; add capability-selection + turn-key
  orchestration to the mission and identity

### 4. Progressive Expansion
### 4. Progressive, Capability-Driven Expansion
Security evolves in stages:
Security evolves by **adding capabilities**, not by rebuilding. The path
runs from bootstrap identity, through lightweight SSO and 2FA, runtime
secrets and fine-grained authorization, up to enterprise federation SSO —
but each step is taken **because a capability is needed, never because of
user count**. Footprint and cost follow the capability choice; they do not
drive it.
1. **Bootstrap (local identity)**
2. **Lightweight mode**
3. **Expanded enterprise mode**
Each tier must:
Each stage must:
* **be usable on its own** — you get value at every tier, not only at the top
* **transition without structural breaks** — because every tier targets
the same IAM Profile contract, adding 2FA, secrets, authorization, or
federation *extends* the system rather than replacing it
* be usable on its own
* smoothly transition into the next
