docs(redops): Gap analysis v4.3.0 refresh and documentation sync

Update gap analysis document version to v4.3.0 (Deep Audit Refresh -
Post-Remediation Verification) with comprehensive re-verification of
all v4.2.0 findings across the WRAITH-RedOps codebase (~12,148 lines).

Key v4.3.0 changes:
- Resolved 2 P1 findings: Attack Chain IPC Bridge (NEW-15) with all 4
  IPC functions now wired in lib.rs, and AttackChainEditor (NEW-16) now
  uses invoke() instead of setTimeout simulation
- Substantially resolved 2 P3 findings: APT Playbooks (model + DB +
  loader + server RPCs + migration pipeline), SMB2 Full Protocol (both
  team server 275-line listener and spectre-implant 279-line client)
- Identified 4 new gaps: NEW-17 (SMB2 header struct compilation bug),
  NEW-18 (Playbook IPC bridge missing), NEW-19 (7/30 proto RPCs lack
  IPC), NEW-20 (test coverage ~5-8%)
- Corrected undercounts from v4.2.0: placeholder comments (8 vs 2),
  .unwrap() calls (~35 vs 8+), #[allow(dead_code)] (8 vs 4)
- Overall: ~91% complete (up from 89%), ~71% MITRE ATT&CK (27/38),
  0 P0 critical, 3 P1 remaining (down from 5)

Documentation updates:
- README.md: Gap analysis section updated to v4.3.0 metrics, project
  structure now includes conductor/ and ref-proj/ directories
- CHANGELOG.md: Added v4.3.0 entries under [Unreleased] with resolved
  findings, new gaps, corrected assessments, and conductor track archival
- README_Protocol-DEV.md: Status section and footer updated with v4.3.0
  metrics, conductor reference
- README_Clients-DEV.md: RedOps architecture expanded with actual code
  volumes (~4,317 team server, ~2,436 operator, ~4,884 implant lines),
  gap analysis updated to v4.3.0, footer updated

Conductor track cleanup:
- Removed archived plan files for completed APT Playbooks & SMB2
  Hardening and RedOps Gap Remediation tracks
