docs: final beautification, archive legacy process, externalize paper reference

- Remove paper/ directory from repository
- Update all paper references to https://roblemumin.com/library.html
- Add paper/ to .gitignore
- Archive historical process docs with status banners:
  - docs/autostart.md, docs/defaults.md, docs/benchmark_policy.md
  - docs/manual/part_0.md through part_9.md
- Add Maintenance Status section to README
- Update Project Structure section in README
- Clarify fire-and-forget maintenance model
- Update Contributing section scope

All 169 tests passing ✓
All non-negotiable constraints preserved ✓
Repository now reflects completed, reference-grade status

+**Note:** Documentation in `docs/manual/`, `docs/autostart.md`, `docs/defaults.md`, and `docs/benchmark_policy.md` reflects historical development process and is archived. The project is now a completed, reference-grade implementation.
+
+## Maintenance Status
+
+**Current Status:** Completed reference implementation (v0.1.0)
+
+LULZprime is a **finished artifact**. The implementation has achieved full paper alignment and is production-ready for indices up to 500k.
+
+**Maintenance model:**
+- **Bug fixes:** Critical bugs will be addressed
+- **Security issues:** Reported vulnerabilities will be fixed
+- **No active feature development:** The library is feature-complete for its intended scope
+- **No performance tuning:** Python implementation is at optimum (Phase 3 validated)
+- **Community contributions:** Bug fixes and documentation improvements welcome (see CONTRIBUTING.md)
+
+**What this means:**
+- The library is stable and safe to use in production
+- API will not change (backward compatibility preserved)
+- No new features planned (scope is deliberately limited)
+- All 169 tests continue to pass
+- Defaults remain unchanged (ENABLE_LEHMER_PI = False)
+
+**Future work (out of scope):**
+- C/Rust port for paper-exceedance performance (10-50× gains possible)
+- P3 correction or Deleglise-Rivat algorithms (research-level)
+
+See `docs/PAPER_EXCEEDANCE_ROADMAP.md` for potential future directions (informational only).
