Cutting Table RL Simulator Foundation Expands

Added processing behavior, workday execution, simulator configuration, lifecycle testing, and project guidance.

Cutting Table RL moved beyond the initial project setup phase and now has a more complete simulator foundation.

This milestone added machine status constants, a start_processing action, processing progress tracking, and a complete_current_job action. Jobs can now move through a simplified lifecycle instead of stopping at the loaded state.

The simulator also gained a workday runner, daily summary metrics, simulator configuration support, and lifecycle tests using pytest. README and PROJECT_GUIDE guidance were updated around the current simulator structure, and a local virtual environment workflow was established for development.

The project deliberately avoided implementing fake timing formulas. Current processing values are placeholders for exercising simulator behavior, while future timing models will be shaped by real-world cutting data.
