Closes #111.

The live run-of-show used --task gpqa --max_gen 3, but GPQA (198 questions, per-question provider calls) is minutes/generation — not a reliable 3–4 min stage demo. Docs-only fix (the tiny arithmetic-mc task — 5 questions — is already bundled, so no new task/layout/parity changes):

  • docs/HACKATHON_DEMO.md: primary live command is now --task arithmetic-mc --max_gen 2; GPQA demoted to a pre-warmed/offline sia web replay ("credibility" path, do not run live). Run-of-show, backup paths, results narration, and the pre-demo checklist all updated; checklist has a blank to record measured wall-clock on the demo machine.
  • docs/HACKATHON_DECK.md: reproducibility step + runtime guidance contrast GPQA-minutes vs arithmetic-mc-fast; task lists corrected to five bundled tasks.

Per the issue, no API key here, so runtimes are marked "to be measured on the demo machine" rather than fabricated. cargo build clean (docs-only).

Issue #111: GPQA (198 questions, per-question provider calls) is minutes per
generation and unreliable for a 3-4 minute stage demo. Use the already-bundled
tiny arithmetic-mc task (5 self-contained questions, no dataset download) as the
primary stage-safe live command with --max_gen 2, and demote GPQA to the
warm-run / offline `sia web` replay research/credibility path.

Updates HACKATHON_DEMO.md (run-of-show, pre-demo warm-up, backup Path A,
one-slide summary, results narration, checklist) and HACKATHON_DECK.md
(Step 3 reproducibility, flags table, task list, runtime guidance, checklist)
so the live command, checklist, and runtime notes all agree. Runtime is marked
"to be measured on the demo machine" rather than fabricating a number.

Docs-only change; arithmetic-mc is already in BUNDLED_TASKS in both
src/layout.rs and sia/layout.py. `cargo build` confirmed clean.
