README: three macro families, and what __openkal__ may be used for - #35

The section said that no macro states that a program is built on openkal. That is too strong: the kernel interface is a layer like the others, and a statement about it is a fact. What the rule protects is the separation of the three questions, so the rule now states the separation: __openkal__ says kal_* may be called, the C library layer states the C environment, the triple states the system. Using __openkal__ to select a header or to infer the platform remains forbidden, and __has_include(<openkal/version.h>) reaches the same decision today. .agents/docs carries the design this follows and its execution plan.

Documents only. Revises rule 4 of "What a program built on openkal may assume": the kernel interface is stated by
__openkal__(defined where the resolved kernel-abi is openkal), the C environment by the C library layer, the system by the triple. Using__openkal__to select a header or infer the platform remains forbidden..agents/docs/2026-09-18-openkal-c-environment-and-personalities-design.mdis the design this follows, with its review record and self-review;2026-09-18-c-environment-execution-plan.mdis the plan. No declaration changes, so no version change.
