Subject: [PATCH] Fill in the arXiv citation (2609.07398)

The preprint is up: the README badge points at the abstract page instead
of the XXXX.XXXXXX placeholder (and is now a link), the Citation section
carries the real BibTeX, and CITATION.cff gives GitHub's "Cite this
repository" button the same entry.
