docs: the second DHCPv6 responder (CAMPAIGN-LOG, BRINGUP item 21)

The missing GUA was not the firewall: its DHCPv6 server advertises an
address, but an access point on the bench VLAN still runs RA and DHCPv6
in server mode, its Advertise with nothing to give arrives first, and
busybox udhcpc6 keeps the first Advertise it sees. Dev 20260824201945
carries patch 0015 and the last stray dmesg line is gone.

Docs only; no catalog consequence.

## 2026-08-24: the second DHCPv6 responder
Dev 20260824201945 (patch 0015 in): the NVS loader line is gone; the
rest of the second round holds. The missing GUA was not the firewall's
doing. Its DHCPv6 server was enabled, in Managed RA mode, with a pool on
the delegated /64, and a packet capture on the bench VLAN showed it
answering the board's Solicit with an address 1.3 ms later. The board's
Request went to a different server-ID (a UUID) with `NoAddrsAvail`
echoed back. A raw sniff on the board's own link named the other party:
one of the VLAN's three OpenWrt access points still ran its LAN-side
defaults, RA in server mode (its own ULA prefix with SLAAC, M and O
flags, itself as DNS) and a DHCPv6 server with nothing to hand out. Its
unicast Advertise beat the firewall's, and busybox's `udhcpc6` keeps the
first Advertise it sees and keeps Requesting from that server, which is
where the "IA_NA option is too short" line came from (an IA_NA carrying
only a status code). The other two access points have RA, DHCPv6 and
NDP-Proxy disabled, which is the setting that belongs on all three. The
ULA the board carried all along was that access point's. Nothing on the
board needs to change; the network side owns the fix.
