Add Part V — Demonology; restructure to 7 parts
Per author's choice, give the PGM/exorcism material (ai_answers.md Block 2) its own Part, placed before the Battle Manual: theory of the enemy -> tactics. Add Part V ch01 'The Mechanics of Authority' (one worldview, name-as-power, adjuration/naming/binding, command-without- ritual, the 'stronger man'), sourced to NT + PGM, with Christ-authority and the author's own-methods line left [NEEDS YOUR INPUT]. Renumber empty folders only (battle 5->6, reference 6->7); no existing content disturbed. Sync design doc, OUTLINE (+Reading Path), CLAUDE.md, README, STYLE-GUIDE; fix forward refs (Battle now Part VI). All internal cross-links verified resolving.
