chore(pipeline): close SDU + Google FDE III, triage 5 JDs, drop Louis Dreyfus

Pipeline:
- SDU PhD: closed, not proceeding. Prof. Jørgensen never replied to the
  2026-08-02 enquiry; user dismissed it two days before the 2026-08-20 deadline.
- Google FDE III GTM: closed, not proceeding after two Google rejections. The
  bar for a third attempt is now a very strong fit; this was Adjacent with an
  agent-orchestration gap. Frees the Adjacent cohort slot (back to 1/2).

JD triage — 5 pulled and read, 1 survives:
- SHORTLIST AWS Senior FDE Zurich: all four basic quals pass and AI/agentic is
  preferred-only, unlike the Google Senior Staff FDE where vector DB + RAG were
  minimum quals. AWS is the evidenced cloud; JD names Kiro, which he uses.
- SKIP AWS ProServe Bern (clinical pharma domain gate), AWS Principal Delivery
  Consultant (8+ yrs architecture leadership + VP+ exec comms), GitLab FDE EMEA
  (Ruby/Go hard gate), MS 200044133 (title says FDE Data Scientist, quals are
  BGP/MPLS/SD-WAN network engineering — mislabelled req).

Roster:
- Dropped Louis Dreyfus: 300 roles, all Brazil/India/Bulgaria ops, zero Swiss.
- Kept MET Group: its "0 eligible" was a filter artifact; exclusion mode reveals
  real Baar/Zug commodity-trading roles.
- Kept Equinor/Telenor/NATO. Memory corrected: the Norway lane is selective, not
  closed — the user still wants very good Norwegian roles.
