docs(brand): v2 voice lock — VHS voice rule, catchphrase bank, 'Dr. Flask Appears' series

Oracle's post-v2 voice position: the 'trapped in a chemistry edutainment VHS'
one-liner, refined is/is-not lists, a 10-line canonical catchphrase bank, the
'Degree not included' footer gag, and the flagship recurring short-form format
'Dr. Flask Appears' (uninvited-helper episode structure + example).
