P5a: digests cite pages; sift_pdf_* metrics; sift fetch --pages/--grep; skill, unit and README

Digest systemPrompt gains a page-cite instruction and PromptVersion is 3.
Add the sift_pdf_* metric series (extract_total{outcome}, extract_seconds,
pages_total, pool_wait_seconds, cache_hits_total) to internal/metrics and wire
ObservePDF/ObservePDFWait/PDFCacheHit into internal/api/pdf.go. Refactor
cmd/sift/fetchcmd.go to a fetchOpts struct with parseFetchOpts and fetchBody,
adding --pages/--grep. Update skill/SKILL.md, set nix MemoryMax to 1G, and add a
PDF documents section to the README.

## PDFs
PDFs work: `sift fetch` extracts them and returns the text. A short one comes back whole; a
long one comes back as a map — an outline with page numbers, then the first pages. Then:
- `sift fetch URL --pages 41-60` for a page range, `--grep 'pattern'` for matching lines, or
`--question "…"` for a digest that cites each fact as `(p. N)`.
- Scanned PDFs have no text layer: sift reports `no text layer (scanned PDF?)` — point it at an
OCR source rather than trying to fix it here.
Never download a PDF and run `pdftotext` yourself; `sift` is the sanctioned extractor.
