docs(vehicle): record the axle flip did not fix the reverse direction

Flipping the wheel-bone axles inward->outward and re-importing left the drive
direction unchanged (-2788 vs -2680 cm/s). Reverted. The next probe is
SetThrottleInput(-1) to split throttle-inverted from wheel-spin-inverted.

## 2026-11-10 — Vehicle drives backwards; the axle flip did not fix it
- The reverse direction is not the wheel-bone axle sign. Flipping the axles from inward to
outward (`y - copysign` → `y + copysign` in `vehicle_build.py`) and re-importing changed
nothing (`speed=-2788 cm/s` still, vs −2680 before). Reverted.
- Remaining suspects, in order: the Chaos wheel's spin axis convention (maybe it spins about
X, not the bone's Y), the engine torque sign, or the throttle sign. Next probe: run the
`-drivetest` with `SetThrottleInput(-1.0)` to split "throttle inverted" from "wheel spin
inverted" in one run.
