Add material: Vespel SP-1 Polyimide - #1

Conversation
Unfilled DuPont Vespel SP-1, sourced primarily from the DuPont Vespel S Line Design Handbook (with MatWeb for the Rockwell E hardness row). Notable modeling calls (all documented in the material notes): - youngs_modulus stores the ISO flexural modulus (3.10 GPa) - DuPont publishes no tensile modulus for SP-1 and treats flexural modulus as the modulus of elasticity for this grade. - yield_strength null (no yield point published) -> M4-M6 blank. - melting_point_tm and glass_transition_tg both null - Vespel SP is thermoset-like with no melt or Tg below decomposition (>400 C). - fracture_toughness / hardness_vickers null (not published). - 2-point R=-1 Axial fatigue curve from Handbook Table 1 + Fig 29. Regenerated materials/index.json; bumped README/SPEC counts 62 -> 63. validate.py 63/63, lint_physics.py clean, check_docs.py OK.

Adds a "Key Conventions" subsection recording that when Claude adds a material for the repo owner, it commits directly to main rather than opening a PR (PRs #1/#2 used branches; owner asked to stop). Branches/ PRs stay reserved for code, schema, or tooling changes. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_0196wufhr7LvKMeDwyT2kh5K
