tmu 38484aa16d 📝 Refresh license year, backlog notes and JSDoc
Bump the copyright to 2026 in LICENSE and README, add the
comparison-section notes to the backlog, and trim the primitive-union
factory JSDoc now that the universe rules live in README § Caveats.

// inference; a conditional in the fallback's parameter type is evaluated while
// `Handled` is still its constraint and would reject context-sensitive partial
// maps. That placement also fixes where the diagnostic lands: the constraint
// failure is reported on the argument that inferred `Handled` (the handler
