docs(compatibility): clarify protocol version validation is Velocity-only

Update the compatibility matrix logic and documentation to reflect the actual
implementation: only Velocity performs the handshake validation, not Paper.

- Remove velocity-too-new and velocity-too-old from CompatibilityResult
- Simplify checkCompatibility() to check only if Velocity accepts Paper
- Update reason labels to clarify direction (Paper vs Velocity perspective)
- Add note distinguishing plugin version from protocol version
- Clarify Velocity-only validation in the protocol section
- Rewrite compatibility rules from Velocity's perspective

Paper only sends the handshake; it does not validate Velocity's version.
This aligns documentation with the actual behavior in
platform-velocity/.../PluginMessageHandler.kt.

 The Paper and Velocity plugins of LunaticChat are versioned independently. Whether a given combination works is determined by the **protocol version** embedded in each plugin.
 
+::: warning Plugin version ≠ protocol version
+The **plugin version** (e.g., Paper v1.2.0) and the **protocol version** (e.g., 1.0.0) are different things. New plugin releases do not necessarily change the protocol — and only the protocol version determines compatibility.

 ## TL;DR

 ## What Is a Protocol Version?
 
-Paper and Velocity communicate via a LunaticChat-specific plugin messaging protocol. The protocol carries a semantic version (`MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH`), and a handshake at connection time validates both sides.

+::: tip Velocity is the only side that checks
+Only Velocity performs the compatibility check. Paper just sends a handshake — it does not validate Velocity's version. So the question reduces to: "Does Velocity accept Paper's protocol version?"

-The rules are:
+The rules (from Velocity's perspective) are:
 
 - **MAJOR** must match exactly
-- The remote **MINOR** must be at least `MIN_SUPPORTED_MINOR` and at most the local `MINOR`
+- Paper's **MINOR** must be at least Velocity's `MIN_SUPPORTED_MINOR` and at most Velocity's `MINOR`
 - **PATCH** does not affect compatibility
 
-`MIN_SUPPORTED_MINOR` controls how far back the local plugin accepts older peers, providing a grace window during rolling updates.
