docs(credits): record four-track contributor attribution

[lidge-jun]

Summary

• Record the original titles and source authors of 12 carried PRs across the four post-fix: unblock Windows lifecycle tests and reduce Cursor blob admission cost #3771 tracks, linked to their verified dev landings and exact delivered scope.
• Acknowledge eight issue reports separately from code authorship. Preserve existing contributor attribution and add verified account-linked forward co-author trailers, following docs(credits): restore missing stacked-PR contributor attribution #3787 without rewriting historical commits or tags.
• Keep partial delivery explicit: native compact 404 fallback, the proposed 600-second default, and unrelated Windows changes are not represented as completed.

Verification

• Fetched dev at 5759d9ea2f1e7281cdc01eb9628f2e0a123fb59c; verified all 20 delivered track PRs and their merge ancestry.
• Read original PR author identities, actual reachable commit trailers, GitHub commit-author mappings, and source-to-landing descriptions. Checked all nine human numeric account identities through GitHub.
• Reviewed the single-file CREDITS.md diff and checked whitespace. No runtime files changed.
• The owner explicitly requested the docs(credits): restore missing stacked-PR contributor attribution #3787 documentation-only workflow: merge into dev without running or waiting for CI. No tests, typecheck or builds were run. No CI pass is claimed for this documentation change.

Checklist

• Scope stays focused and avoids unrelated cleanup.
• Docs or release notes were updated when needed.
• Security-sensitive changes were reviewed for secrets, auth, and unsafe defaults. This changes attribution documentation only and exposes no credential material.
