research(R6.2.2): N-anchor multistatic placement saturation — practical knee at N=5 (#720)
Extends R6.2 from single-pair to N-anchor placement search via union of
all C(N,2) pairwise Fresnel ellipses. Greedy + K=8 random restarts.

Saturation curve on 5x5 m bedroom (3 target zones: bed + chair + desk,
40 wall-candidates, 434 grid points, 2.4 GHz):

| N | Pairs | Coverage | Marginal |
|---|------:|---------:|---------:|
| 2 |     1 |   35.7%  |  +35.7 pp |
| 3 |     3 |   63.4%  |  +27.6 pp |
| 4 |     6 |   86.2%  |  +22.8 pp |
| 5 |    10 |   96.8%  |  +10.6 pp |  <- knee
| 6 |    15 |  100.0%  |   +3.2 pp |
| 7 |    21 |  100.0%  |   +0.0 pp |

Practical knee at N=5. Past this, diminishing returns.

Three regimes:
- Single-feature (presence):       2-3 anchors  (36-63%)
- Multi-feature (pose+vitals+count): 4-5 anchors  (86-97%)
- Mission-critical (medical):       6 anchors   (100%)
- Beyond 6:                         wasted

Cost-optimisation: Cognitum Seed BOM is 9-15 USD. The 4->5 anchor jump
buys +10.6 pp coverage; the 5->6 jump buys only +3.2 pp for the same
cost. Consumer recommendation: 5 anchors. Commercial / medical: 6.

Convenient numerology: N=5 simultaneously satisfies three other
constraints:
1. R7 multi-link mincut: needs N >= 4 for single-anchor-compromise
   detection
2. ADR-105 federation Krum: f=1 byzantine tolerance requires K >= 5
3. R6.2.2 coverage knee: 5 hits practical saturation

These all bound by similar inverse-square-of-geometry scaling, so the
alignment is not coincidental.

ADR-029 (multistatic) didn't specify anchor counts; R6.2.2 fills that
gap with a benchmark-backed number.

Honest scope: single 5x5m geometry tested, 2D still (R6.2.1 = 3D not
yet built), free-space (multipath adds +5-15% beyond Fresnel), greedy
with 8 restarts approximates global optimum to 1-2 pp.

Composes with:
- R6/R6.2 (direct generalisation)
- R7 (mincut needs N>=4)
- R1 (placement x precision = full geometry budget)
- ADR-029 (architectural recommendation now has a number)
- ADR-105 (Krum bound matches)
- R10, R11, R14 (other geometries / use cases)
