site: correct every use-it surface; plain language throughout

The /api page advertised the retired interscript.org/api endpoint in
its curl hero and generated snippets (404 live; production is
api.interscript.org/v1, POST JSON, open CORS) and showed a CDN import
of the wrong package name with a strategy that cannot load the
ISC-only maps endpoint. The npm card called bare transliterate() with
no loader configured. The CLI section used a package and bin name
that do not exist (interscript-ts; the bin is interscript) and could
not have worked before 5.3.1 anyway - the CLI gained an ISC loader
today. The home CTA's curl line fetched a .json the endpoint stopped
serving.

Every snippet now shows a verified command: the API examples against
the live POST endpoint, the CDN/npm cards use the ISC strategy recipe
(pinned 5.3.1, probed in a browser), the CLI examples run as shipped,
and the new Python card states the one setup step it needs (a maps
checkout). /ml adds the no-install paths (REST infer endpoint, the
browser demo, the CDN recipe).

Headlines rewritten in plain language per the house decision:
'Try it. Copy the snippet. Ship.' -> 'Try the API.', 'Where maps end,
models begin' -> 'Neural models for what maps cannot cover', 'Every
trap we fell into, now a rule' -> 'How we measure', '580M parameters
against the frontier' -> 'Our results against the frontier', 'Measured,
or it doesn't ship' -> 'Every number is measured'.
