docs(roadmap): close cycle 9 and record cycle 10 decision

[SYMBaiEX]

User problem

Cycle 9 implementation results were not recorded in the roadmap, the recurring goal issue contained stale/conflicting checklists, and Cycle 10 needed a durable, source-linked research decision before the next build wave.

Scope

• Record the merged Align native adapter capabilities with configured bridge outputs #33/Reject negative controller action durations #34 implementation PRs, merge commits, checks, and review status.
• Close out Cycle 9 milestone 8 in the roadmap.
• Record Cycle 10 gate Cycle 10 research gate: audit current AI, gaming, and accessibility pain points #71's source coverage, SDK ownership audit, deferred candidates, and no-build decision.
• Update the recurring goal issue Run a recurring evidence-backed AI and gaming improvement cycle #55 with a reusable research → DAG → swarm → review → merge checklist and current cycle status.
• Close research gate Cycle 10 research gate: audit current AI, gaming, and accessibility pain points #71 and Cycle 10 milestone 9 when this PR merges.

Decision

Cycle 10's public reports and repository audit did not show a new, uncovered OpenController-owned change with a distinct acceptance test. No implementation issue is created from upstream driver/engine failures or individual anecdotes. Existing #46 and #60 remain deferred under their documented prerequisites and risks.

Acceptance criteria

• Source links, dates, fit, counterevidence, and search-access gaps are documented in gate Cycle 10 research gate: audit current AI, gaming, and accessibility pain points #71.
• Cycle 9 implementation details and exact merge commits are recorded.
• Goal Run a recurring evidence-backed AI and gaming improvement cycle #55 describes the recurring DAG and agent/worktree/PR process.
• Gate Cycle 10 research gate: audit current AI, gaming, and accessibility pain points #71 closed and milestone 9 closed after merge.
• CI test passed and the independent gpt-6-luna review found no blockers at exact head 3b03eed3c830ea4953877ed2e08ad26a2a657fc9.

Validation

• git diff --check passed.
• This is a documentation and GitHub tracking change; no package tests were run.

Closes #71.
