Subject: [PATCH] doc: refine size snapshot to highlight core runtime vs
 boilerplate

Backend adapters (~8.3K) are mostly mechanical API glue.
Core runtime is ~25K lines (22K Go core + 3K compiled tools).
KDE adds another ~15.7K. The interesting logic is concentrated.

-Agent profiles: 14. The codebase remains focused on composition over construction.
+Agent profiles: 14. Backend code is largely mechanical API adaptation; the interesting logic lives in ~25K lines of core runtime plus ~15.7K of KDE integration.
