refactor: DFS solver → matrix-based linear algebra (MathNet.Numerics)

- Rewrite ProductionSolver: system of linear equations A×x=b via LU/QR decomposition
- Add ResourceClassifier: classify resources as target/intermediate/raw
- Add RecipeMatrixBuilder: build coefficient matrix and RHS vector
- Add DI container (Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection) in CLI
- Fix resource flow calculation (RecipeRate is total, not per-machine)
- Fix recipes.json: moduleCategory → machineCategory (recipe #19)
- Update tests: 30 tests covering solver, classifier, matrix builder
- Update README: document matrix model, architecture, principles

 # Factorio Space Age Production Calculator

-> **Stack:** C# .NET 10, MathNet.Numerics, Spectre.Console, ClosedXML, xUnit
 
 Калькулятор производственных цепочек для **Factorio: Space Age**. Рассчитывает количество машин, потоки ресурсов и сырьевые входы для заданных целей производства.
 
+## Математическая модель
+
+Решение строится через **систему линейных уравнений** (не DFS):
+
+```
+A × x = b
+```
+
+Где:
+- **A** — матрица коэффициентов (строки = ресурсы, столбцы = рецепты)
+- **x** — скорости выполнения рецептов (cycles/sec) — неизвестные
+- **b** — целевые скорости производства (targets) / 0 (intermediates)
+
+Решение: **LU-разложение** (квадратная матрица), **QR** (переопределённая), **псевдообратная** (недоопределённая).
