Docs: state the limits of .ai type on a path import

Align to Path takes its distance from the path from VectorCraft's font metrics, and the fit under Gravity does not reproduce the file's layout.

 ## G9 Illustrator `.ai` and EPS files from real users
 
-- **Done (2026-10-30):** from an audit of a user's `.ai`/EPS files: All Caps and Small Caps; placed files at their box's corner; pages cropped to the art; gradient mesh corners with handle weights of 0 and the transparency written after a mesh, a masked mesh and a blend; a layer's state block with the stroke style; type on a path spaced as the file lays it out; EPS10 legacy-format type; a PDF of some artboards compared on the artboard its page shows. Comparison limits remain unchanged. This narrows G9; scores and estimates unchanged.
