docs: clarify explainability is system-level, not foundation-model internal

Adds a consistent scope note to README and docs (concepts, FAQ, index)
stating Semantica does not expose or reconstruct an LLM's internal
reasoning/chain-of-thought. It explains and audits the AI system
around the model: context, provenance, policies, decisions, and
execution history.

No. This is **system-level explainability, not foundation-model explainability**. Semantica does not expose, reconstruct, or explain what happens *inside* the LLM/foundation model — its internal reasoning or chain-of-thought stays opaque, as it does for any external system.
What Semantica explains is *outside* the model: what context and data were used, what decision was produced, the provenance behind it, the relevant relationships, the policies applied, and the resulting decision trail.
