chore: scaffold gloss package

Five layered files per the design at docs/design/gloss.org. gloss-core for the data layer, gloss-fetch for the network layer, gloss-display for the UI, gloss-drill for the spaced-repetition export, and gloss.el as the entry point. All five are skeletons. Implementation comes next.

The Makefile delegates to ert with the usual unit, integration, and per-file targets. It also runs paren and lint passes. The package is licensed GPL-3.0-or-later. README is a placeholder pointing at the design doc.

+#+TITLE: gloss — Glossary Lookup with Online-Sourced Selection
+#+OPTIONS: toc:nil
+
+A personal Emacs glossary. =C-h g= looks up terms in a single git-tracked org file. On a local miss, =gloss= fetches candidate definitions from Wiktionary and prompts you to pick which one to save — with provenance recorded. The same org file feeds =org-drill= for spaced-repetition study.
+
+* Status
+
+In active development. v1 not yet released. See [[file:docs/design/gloss.org][docs/design/gloss.org]] for the full design.
+
+* Why not just =quick-sdcv= or =dictionary=?
+
+Domain jargon — government acronyms, technical terms, philosophy vocabulary, project-specific names — doesn't live in any general dictionary, so =quick-sdcv= and =M-x dictionary= can't help. =gloss= grows by use: encounter a term, save it once, and it's permanently looked-up-able and study-card-able.
+
+* Quick start
+
+(This section will fill out as v1 lands. For now, see [[file:docs/design/gloss.org][docs/design/gloss.org]].)
