docs: mark Phase 6 (Rendering Revolution) as complete

Phase 6 is now complete with all core rendering features implemented:

Completed Features:
- Grid background colors (#50) - customizable backgrounds with animation
- RenderTexture overhaul (#6) - UIFrame clipping with opt-in architecture
- Viewport-based rendering (#8) - three scaling modes with coordinate transform

Strategic Decisions:
- UIGrid already has optimal RenderTexture implementation for its viewport needs
- UICaption/UISprite clipping deemed unnecessary (no children to clip)
- Effects/Shader/Particle systems deferred to post-Phase 7 for focused delivery

The rendering foundation is now solid and ready for Phase 7: Documentation & Distribution.

**Phase 6 Technical Notes**:
- RenderTexture is the foundation - everything else depends on it
- Grid backgrounds (#50) ✅ completed as warm-up task
- RenderTexture implementation uses opt-in architecture to preserve backward compatibility
- Dirty flag system crucial for performance - only re-render when properties change
- Nested clipping works correctly with proper coordinate transformations
- Scene transitions already use RenderTextures - good integration test
- Viewport rendering (#8) ✅ complete with three scaling modes and coordinate transformation
- Next: Extend RenderTexture support to remaining UI classes (Caption, Sprite, Grid)
- Shader/Particle systems might be deferred to Phase 7 or Gamma
**Phase 6 Achievement Summary**:
- Grid backgrounds (#50) ✅ - Customizable background colors with animation
- RenderTexture overhaul (#6) ✅ - UIFrame clipping with opt-in architecture
- Viewport rendering (#8) ✅ - Three scaling modes with coordinate transformation
- UIGrid already had optimal RenderTexture implementation for its use case
- UICaption/UISprite clipping unnecessary (no children to clip)
- Performance optimized with dirty flag system
- Backward compatibility preserved throughout
- Effects/Shader/Particle systems deferred for focused delivery
*Rationale*: This unlocks professional visual effects but is complex.
