Objects: the parity and gap docs no longer list chart resizing as missing

Browse Source 
gaps.md (§4), target-app-parity.md (the Essentials tier's work, the
Mainstream chart row, the interaction discount and the Essentials chart
task) and chart-parity.md (the element table and the work list) still
described charts as impossible to resize (#190). Charts move and resize
from eight handles like every floating object, so those statements now
say so; the 2026-10-10 revision rows and the 10-10 re-check stay as
history. Scores and the 40-60 h chart estimate are unchanged (resizing
was 1-2 h, within the rounding).
