ResurRec Japan: photos of the new plant, presses read as new Pheenix AD12s

Four photos of ResurRec's new Japan plant (October 2026) filed in
docs/finance/resurrec-japan/. Revenue model gets a "ResurRec Japan"
section: what the photos show (visitor window, automatic presses in
aluminium cabinets that Alexander identifies as a new red AD12
generation, ceiling services, air-conditioned room, no plating in view),
what it changes (scaling abroad, Japan export wedge narrows, Classic vs
AD12 evidence, collaboration depends on their metal path) and open
questions. Also notes a directory listing naming an M-Tech Allegro II in
Bangkok against the tour's Newbilt Classic.

Mirrors: Pheenix sections in vendor-landscape, exhibitor questions and
supplier map; pressing-line AD12 paragraph; roadmap item 5; visitor
corridor in crane-workshop-tours; README status and layout.
