refine(pseudo): drop one-screen cap, allow prose in a supporting role

Remove the hard one-screen length limit entirely; replace the
former cap (rule 9) with a single-altitude guidance that leans
on the reference markers to let the user steer the zoom instead
of a fixed length.

Loosen the prose ban: prose is now allowed, but only in a
supporting role — the pseudocode block stays the centre of every
answer and prose explains what the code cannot show on its own.
Iron Law, overview, rule 1, worked example, frontmatter, and
README updated to match.
