docs(mods): sync docs to the 164-jar kitchen-sink pack

The pack grew 76 -> 164 jars (133 both / 31 client) without any doc
update. Create + ~18 addons filled the tech gap, ars_nouveau + ars_creo
the magic gap, and the full YUNG's/Moog's/TerraBlender set the worldgen
gap, which also resolved the ponderjs orphan.

- 17-mod-shortlist: rewritten around the current pack; gap doc marked
  done, remaining gaps narrowed to map mod, Necronomicon orphan, C2ME.
- 04-mods: jar counts updated; the 24/52 cutover split is now labelled
  historical alongside the current 31/133.
- CLAUDE.md: WS6 partly done, stale "65 default both" line dropped, and
  the ~50-100 mod ceiling flagged as knowingly exceeded in both places.
  MAX_MEMORY 10G was sized for that old assumption - noted for re-check.
- 18-landing-rework: mods.json count 76 -> 164, "50+" stat tile noted
  stale.

 ## TL;DR
 
-- Current pack (76 jars, `mods-sides.json`) is a polished **vanilla+ QoL/perf** base,
-  **not yet kitchen-sink**. Strong perf + QoL + storage + FTB + voice; **empty** on
-  tech and magic, **thin** on worldgen, **no** map mod.
+- The pack is now **kitchen-sink** — **164 jars** (`mods-sides.json`: 133 `both`,
+  31 `client`), up from the 76-jar vanilla+ base this doc originally described.
+  Tech (Create + ~18 addons), magic (Ars Nouveau + ars_creo) and worldgen (full
+  YUNG's set + Moog's structures + TerraBlender) all landed. **Map is still the
+  only open gap.**
+- **164 jars is over the stated 50–100 ceiling** in `CLAUDE.md`. Accepted for now;
+  it moves the RAM/stability bar (`INIT_MEMORY 4G`/`MAX_MEMORY 10G` — watch it).
 - Jars live in the **external distribution repo** (`$DISTRIBUTION_WEB_ROOT/servers/

-## Curation tradeoff
-
-Adding the tech+magic+worldgen anchors pushes 76 → 100+ jars, near the stated
-50–100 ceiling, and raises the RAM/stability bar (`INIT_MEMORY 4G`/`MAX_MEMORY 10G`).
-Curate deliberately; verify each candidate's NeoForge **1.21.1** build + the
-`21.1.233` loader pin at add-time.
