docs: Create AI-assisted compiler development paper structure

Added paper-g-ai-assisted-compiler folder documenting:
- Week-long LLVM backend development with AI assistance
- Key insights from PHI/SSA struggles to Resolver API solution
- Development log capturing the chaotic reality
- Abstract in both English and Japanese

Key quote: 'I don't remember anymore' - capturing the authentic
experience of intensive AI-assisted development where the process
itself becomes the research data.

This represents potentially the first fully documented case of
building a compiler backend primarily through AI assistance.

Design
- `Resolver` keeps small per-function caches keyed by `(BasicBlockId, ValueId)`.
- `resolve_i64(...)` returns an `i64`-typed `IntValue`, inserting PHI and casts as needed using sealed snapshots.
- Internally uses `flow::localize_to_i64(...)` for now; later, fold logic directly and add `resolve_ptr/resolve_f64`.
- `resolve_ptr(...)` returns an `i8*` `PointerValue`, PHI at BB start; int handles are bridged via `inttoptr`.
- `resolve_f64(...)` returns an `f64` `FloatValue`, PHI at BB start; ints bridged via `sitofp`.
- Internally uses `flow::localize_to_i64(...)` for the i64 path; pointer/float are localized directly.
Usage (planned wiring)
- Create `let mut resolver = instructions::Resolver::new();` at function lowering start.
@ -16,10 +18,8 @@ Usage (planned wiring)
- Keep builder insertion discipline via `BuilderCursor`.
Next
- Add `resolve_ptr(...)` and `resolve_f64(...)` with same caching discipline.
- Migrate existing `localize_to_i64` call sites to the resolver.
- Migrate remaining `localize_to_i64` call sites to the resolver.
- Enforce vmap direct access ban in lowerers (Resolver-only for reads).
Acceptance tie-in
- Combined with LoopForm: dispatch-only PHI + resolver-based value access → dominance violations drop to zero (A2.5).
