docs(demo): name stays VESTIGE — Sam's call

Sam chose to keep Vestige over Postdict: it sounds natural, it's the live + loved
product (561 stars, repo, npm packages), costs zero to keep, and "vestige = a
trace of what remains from the past" is backward-looking = on-thesis. The
category lives in the tagline ("the first memory that finds the cause, not the
lookalike"), not the name. Reverted the pitch to "I created Vestige from my tiny
Chicago apartment", kept the "our"->"my" solo-founder fix.

# Postdict — FINAL spoken pitch (Sam's delivery cut)
# Vestige — FINAL spoken pitch (Sam's delivery cut)
Sam's own tightened version. Solo founder, first person, on stage to 50-100
people. No terminal, no slides — voice only. Two corrections from the draft:
"our memory" → "my memory" (solo-founder rule), and the name is **Postdict**
(not Vestige). The "2024 Nature paper" reference is verified true (Zaki/Cai et
al., Nature, 2024) — keep it; don't name the finding on stage, "a 2024 Nature
paper on how the brain finds causes" is the safe phrasing.
