Orca Worker 6b8eccd90c docs(windows): document the EDR signal surface
Six Microsoft Defender for Endpoint incidents fired against Orca 1.4.192 in
eight days on one enterprise Windows 11 / Intune tenant. All six were
behavioural process-tree scoring, not signature hits; two escalated to
multi-stage incidents mapped to ATT&CK Execution and Collection.

Add a reference doc mapping each attack-technique-shaped behaviour to the code
that produces it and to why it exists: the renamed daemon image (T1036), the
per-process PEB read, encoded policy-bypassed PowerShell (T1049), caret-escaped
cmd.exe lines, and computer-use screen capture plus runtime-compiled MSIL
(T1113). Records that signing is not the gate -- reputation is signer plus
hash-keyed prevalence -- and carries the two evidence gaps the report noted.

Adds an engineer checklist, deployment guidance for admins (AV path exclusions
do not suppress EDR behavioural alerts; an MDE alert suppression rule does), and
an explicit pre-deployment warning about computer use.
