docs(reference): clarify five-phase pipeline vs PII review gate (#127)

Reconciles a contradiction between this file (which previously said "6 public phases") and README.md / docs/explanation/architecture.md / docs/tutorials/* (which all say "5 public phases"). The other docs are right: only five phases produce versioned markdown snapshots. PII Review is a permission gate that runs before any `_step_*` method executes — it is rendered as a stage indicator in the viewer for user visibility, but it is not a versioned transformation. Updates: - Opening paragraph explicitly distinguishes the five versioned conversion phases from the PII Review gate. - Public phases table renumbered: PII Review labelled as "(gate)" without a phase number; Extraction → Assembly numbered 1–5. - Heading "Public phases → internal steps" → "Public stages → internal steps" so the umbrella term covers both the gate and the numbered phases. No code changes, no behaviour change. Documentation only. Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
