docs: retire Linux-first framing across specs and design notes - #291
Conversation
Hypercolor runs natively on Linux, Windows, and macOS, and the README, CONTRIBUTING guide, and capability matrix already describe all three as peers. Several older specs and design notes still called the engine Linux-first or deferred cross-platform work to "later", which no longer matches what ships. The session power spec now names the real backend on each platform. The core engine spec states the three platforms directly. The community ecosystem comparison, talk angle, and growth ladder drop the Linux-first label, and the media stack and Servo interop specs lose a build-order qualifier that had already been satisfied. The v0.2.1 release notes keep their wording because they describe that release as it was announced.

The comparison table now lists Linux, Windows, and macOS, but the pitch quote above it still said Linux-native and the key narrative below it still argued for being so good on Linux that Windows users switch. Both sat on the same screen as the table and contradicted it. The session power spec also names IOKit alongside NSWorkspace for macOS, matching the README.

Align the roadmap with the current platform claim.
The table now presents Linux, Windows, and macOS support as current. Lines 1407 and 1420 still schedule cross-platform support for later years. Update those roadmap entries so this document matches the current platform descriptions in docs/content/_index.md.

Hypercolor ships native builds for Linux, Windows, and macOS, and the README, CONTRIBUTING guide, and capability matrix already treat the three as peers. A handful of older specs and design notes still described the engine as Linux-first or pushed cross-platform support to a later phase. This PR brings those documents in line with what actually ships. No code changes.

The v0.2.1 release notes keep their original wording since they record that release as announced. The Framework row in the partner table still says "Linux-first laptop" because it describes Framework, not Hypercolor.
🧪 Validation
Prettier check on the six touched files: the ecosystem doc is clean after the table re-align, and the other four warnings predate this branch (confirmed by stashing and re-running). A repo-wide grep for "linux-first" and "linux first" now returns only the release notes and the Framework partner row.
