v1.0.1 — PyPI packaging

Packaging release for the first PyPI publication. No functional change from
v1.0.0.

Fixed

• Development Status classifier 2 - Pre-Alpha → 4 - Beta — Pre-Alpha contradicted a 1.0 release on the rendered PyPI page.
• Added a Documentation project URL pointing at BENCHMARKS.md.
• Version bumped in pyproject.toml and meridian.__version__ so the published artifact matches its git tag exactly.

Verified before release

• twine check PASSED on both sdist and wheel.
• Wheel installed into a clean Python 3.12 venv, resolving polaris-nlp==1.4.0 and zenith-nlp==1.1.0 from PyPI.
• meridian ingest + meridian ask run end-to-end from the installed package, returning a GROUNDED cited answer.
• Gates: Black, Ruff, mypy --strict, 254 tests, 95.7% coverage.
