Phase 1: Research PR-10 spec

Goal: Lock the actual PR-10 specs from authoritative sources (Brother
official manual, verified third-party references like embroidery
format community docs).

Specifically need:

Field	What to confirm
Brand	Brother (confirmed)
Model	"Entrepreneur PR-10" vs "PR-10" vs other variants
Hoop sizes	exact mm dimensions for the standard + optional hoops
Max speed	stitches/min or mm/s
Max thread count	10 (10-needle) — but is it concurrent or with manual rethread?
Default format	PES native — which PES version?
Color support	how many simultaneous? 10?
Max stitch density	mm pitch
Any PES-specific version constraints (PES0001 vs PES0006 etc.)
Jump stitch / trim behavior	any automatic?
Underlay behavior	automatic or manual?

Files:

New: docs/machines/brother_pr10_research.md with each field, the
source, and a confidence rating (high/medium/low).

Acceptance:

Every field has at least one cited source.
Conflicting sources are noted, with a chosen value and rationale.
Low-confidence fields are flagged for follow-up (separate ticket).
The ThreadCraft team signs off on the values.

Why first: without verified values, the implementation in P2 is
speculation. Embroidery machine specs vary by region, model year, and
firmware version — getting this wrong produces designs the machine
will reject or sew incorrectly.
