Add stemedb-cluster crate implementing horizontal scaling:
- SWIM-based membership protocol for node discovery and failure detection
- Consistent hashing (jump hash) for subject-to-shard routing
- Range management with dynamic split (>64MB) and merge (<20MB) operations
- Stateless HTTP gateway for client request routing via axum
- Meta-range gossip merge for cluster-wide metadata propagation
Includes restrictive CORS policy, proper error propagation from routing,
replica cache invalidation on node failure, and 84 tests (57 unit + 27
integration). Raft MV coordination deferred per design decision.

- Add Layered() method to Go SDK for per-source-class consensus queries
- Add LayeredQueryParams, LayeredResult, TierResolution types to Go SDK
- Create conflict example demonstrating Skeptic and Layered endpoints
- Update quickstart.md with sections 6 (conflict detection) and 7 (authority tiers)
- Remove tracked Go binary and add data/ to .gitignore
The new quickstart sections demonstrate Episteme's differentiating features:
- Skeptic endpoint shows "Trust but Verify" conflict analysis
- Layered endpoint shows per-tier resolution (Clinical vs Anecdotal)
Note: Pre-existing large files flagged by pre-commit hook (technical debt from prior sessions)

Phase 1 delivers the complete durability and storage layer:
- WAL with crash recovery: Append-only journal with BLAKE3 checksums,
fsync guarantees, and proper seek-to-EOF on reopen
- Storage engine: sled-backed KVStore with scan_prefix for range queries
- Content-addressed storage: H:{hash}, V:{hash}, E:{hash} key patterns
- Ingestor: Background worker tailing WAL, writing to KV with 8-byte
aligned record headers for rkyv zero-copy deserialization
- Comprehensive tests: 31 tests covering crash recovery, round-trips,
and multi-cycle durability
New crates: stemedb-wal, stemedb-storage, stemedb-ingest
