refactor phase 9: docstrings, pydocstyle, README, CHANGELOG

Enable ruff D (pydocstyle) under Google convention. Auto-insert
one-line docstrings on the 53 public classes and 51 public methods
that were missing them; manually add docstrings on the two ABC/Protocol
stubs (Transport.is_closed, TokenValidator.validate). Apply D202
auto-fix (no blank line after function docstring) project-wide.

Configure D107 (init docstrings live in class), D105 (magic methods),
D203/D213 (style conflicts) as ignores per Google style. Per-file
ignore D entirely for tests/ and examples/.

Add CHANGELOG.md with an "Unreleased - Idiomatic refactor" entry.
Update README development section to reflect the new pytest cov gate
(--cov-fail-under=90 in addopts) and reference the refactor commits.

Update REFACTOR_PLAN.md phase log with final commit shas + the
baseline-vs-final metrics table. All ten phase gates have passed and
been committed in order.

Final state:
  - tests: 159 -> 194 passing
  - coverage: 86% -> 90.22%
  - ruff: clean under prompt-recommended 21-family rule set
  - pyright: 0 errors fully strict (no Unknown* relaxations)
  - uv build: wheel + sdist clean
  - python floor: >=3.13

+## Unreleased
+
+### Changed
+
+- **Idiomatic-modern Python refactor** — non-functional. Coverage rose from
+  86% to 90.22%; test count from 159 to 194. No public API changes; behavior
+  is identical end-to-end. Details in `REFACTOR_PLAN.md`. Highlights:
+  - Python floor raised from 3.12 to 3.13.
+  - Pyright is now strict-clean across `src/arcp` without the four
+    `reportUnknown*` relaxations the original config carried.
+  - Ruff lint rule set widened to the prompt-recommended set
+    (`E,W,F,I,N,UP,B,C4,SIM,RUF,PTH,PT,RET,TRY,ASYNC,ERA,ARG,SLF,TID,PERF,D`)
+    and is fully clean. Narrow ignores documented inline.
+  - `asyncio.wait_for` replaced with `async with asyncio.timeout(...)` at
+    the three call sites that used it.
+  - `@override` (PEP 698) added to overriding methods on Transport
+    subclasses and `StaticTokenValidator.validate`.
+  - 35 new unit tests for `auth.jwt`, `runtime.pending`,
+    `runtime.session` (handshake), and `transport.stdio`.
+  - Dev dependencies moved to PEP 735 `[dependency-groups]`. Added
+    `pre-commit` to the dev group; `.pre-commit-config.yaml` runs
+    ruff/pyright/pytest locally.
+  - `--cov=arcp --cov-fail-under=90` is now wired into pytest `addopts`.
+  - Public docstrings added on all reachable classes and methods; tests and
+    examples are exempt from `D` per project convention.
+
+## 0.1.0 — initial reference implementation
+
+The original phase 0 → phase 7 implementation series. See `PLAN.md` and the
+git history (`phase 0` through `phase 7` commits) for the per-phase
+breakdown.
