Add incremental update exploration doc and update ADR-002
Explores the diff-based approach (TypeBox Value.Diff → graphology mutation mapping) as an alternative to rebuild-on-change. Key findings: - The diff must happen at the graph level, not the source level, because TaskInput.dependsOn doesn't directly map to edge mutations - graphology's import(merge=true) handles merges but not deletions - The real win is reactivity (fine-grained event notifications), not performance - For <200 node graphs, rebuild is always sub-millisecond - A hybrid approach (diff for attribute-only changes, rebuild for structural changes) is possible but adds significant complexity Decision: defer to v2. ADR-002 (rebuild) stands. The exploration is preserved for future reference.

If a future use case requires incremental updates, add it as an optimization then. The API surface (construction methods) supports both patterns — incremental construction exists via `addTask`/`addDependency`.

An incremental update architecture has been explored in [incremental-update-exploration.md](../incremental-update-exploration.md). The key finding is that **the win is reactivity (fine-grained event notifications), not performance**. For <200 node graphs, rebuild is always sub-millisecond. If a consumer needs reactive updates, they can use graphology's event system directly via `graph.raw` and implement change detection at the consumer layer, without the library taking on the complexity of diff-based updates.
