docs+test(client): correct the phantom-graph claim, verify graph behavior in e2e

The lib e2e harness now characterizes all three SPARQL graph shapes against the real
broker (24/24): (a) no-GRAPH anchored write round-trips; (b) an explicit anchored
GRAPH <plainNuri> ALSO resolves to the same repo (no phantom graph) — the earlier
'targets a phantom graph, does NOT round-trip' claim is FALSE on @ng-org/web
0.1.2-alpha.13; (c) an anchorless GRAPH ?g scan spans every named graph (O(wallet)
union, 32 graphs) — TRUE, re-verified.

Reconcile the comments accordingly: inbox.ts / store-registry.ts drop the false
phantom-graph justification (no-GRAPH stays as the canonical, always-safe shape — a
simplicity choice, not a round-trip necessity; re-verify via e2e if the broker
version changes). read-model.md keeps the anchorless-O(wallet) rationale (the real
reason reads are per-doc anchored) and appends a note distinguishing the variable
GRAPH ?g SCAN from a constant GRAPH <D> WRITE. No new absolute introduced.
