BINKY-WP-0006: retarget Railiance rhythm to llm-connect/OpenRouter

Reject Claude Code (or any coding agent) on railiance01. Mail-scan stays
deterministic; triage/briefs use llm-connect HTTP → structured JSON →
deterministic apply. Document in integrations/railiance-llm-rhythm.md and
rewrite WP-0006 tasks accordingly; timers no longer require_claude.
