mfowler a0f7652e9e docs(examples): add builder-solo — single builder, no adversary (control)
A single Builder that builds AND self-verifies (same DoD rigor), with NO
independent Adversary and no claim/review handoff. The control for measuring
what the AI adversary costs (its tokens, ~half of a loop-pair run) and buys
(independent cold verification vs self-certification).

# examples/builder-solo — a single Builder, NO Adversary (self-verification baseline).
#
# Same pattern + same task spec as ../builder-adversary, but there is only ONE agent: the Builder
# builds AND verifies its own work, then self-certifies "## DONE". This is the control for measuring
# what the independent AI Adversary actually costs (its tokens) and buys (independent cold
# verification). No claim/review handoff — nothing to hand off to.
