feat: Add MLP surrogate with Turbo Mode for 100x faster optimization

Neural Acceleration (MLP Surrogate):
- Add run_nn_optimization.py with hybrid FEA/NN workflow
- MLP architecture: 4-layer (64->128->128->64) with BatchNorm/Dropout
- Three workflow modes:
  - --all: Sequential export->train->optimize->validate
  - --hybrid-loop: Iterative Train->NN->Validate->Retrain cycle
  - --turbo: Aggressive single-best validation (RECOMMENDED)
- Turbo mode: 5000 NN trials + 50 FEA validations in ~12 minutes
- Separate nn_study.db to avoid overloading dashboard

Performance Results (bracket_pareto_3obj study):
- NN prediction errors: mass 1-5%, stress 1-4%, stiffness 5-15%
- Found minimum mass designs at boundary (angle~30deg, thick~30mm)
- 100x speedup vs pure FEA exploration

Protocol Operating System:
- Add .claude/skills/ with Bootstrap, Cheatsheet, Context Loader
- Add docs/protocols/ with operations (OP_01-06) and system (SYS_10-14)
- Update SYS_14_NEURAL_ACCELERATION.md with MLP Turbo Mode docs

NX Automation:
- Add optimization_engine/hooks/ for NX CAD/CAE automation
- Add study_wizard.py for guided study creation
- Fix FEM mesh update: load idealized part before UpdateFemodel()

New Study:
- bracket_pareto_3obj: 3-objective Pareto (mass, stress, stiffness)
- 167 FEA trials + 5000 NN trials completed
- Demonstrates full hybrid workflow

+NX CAD Hooks
+============
+
+Direct manipulation of NX CAD parts via NX Open Python API.
+
+This submodule contains hooks for CAD-level operations on NX parts:
+geometry, expressions, features, and part management.
+
+Modules
+-------
+part_manager
+    Open, close, save, and query NX part files.
+
+    Functions:
+    - open_part(path) -> Open an NX part file
+    - close_part(path) -> Close an open part
+    - save_part(path) -> Save a part
+    - save_part_as(path, new_path) -> Save with new name
+    - get_part_info(path) -> Get part metadata
+
+expression_manager
+    Get and set NX expressions (design parameters).
+
+    Functions:
+    - get_expressions(path) -> Get all expressions
+    - get_expression(path, name) -> Get single expression
+    - set_expression(path, name, value) -> Set single expression
+    - set_expressions(path, dict) -> Set multiple expressions
+
+geometry_query
+    Query geometric properties (mass, volume, area, bodies).
+
+    Functions:
+    - get_mass_properties(path) -> Get mass, volume, area, centroid
+    - get_bodies(path) -> Get body count and types
+    - get_volume(path) -> Get total volume
+    - get_surface_area(path) -> Get total surface area
+    - get_material(path) -> Get material name
+
+feature_manager
+    Suppress and unsuppress features for design exploration.
+
+    Functions:
+    - get_features(path) -> List all features
+    - get_feature_status(path, name) -> Check if suppressed
+    - suppress_feature(path, name) -> Suppress a feature
+    - unsuppress_feature(path, name) -> Unsuppress a feature
+    - suppress_features(path, names) -> Suppress multiple
+    - unsuppress_features(path, names) -> Unsuppress multiple
+
+Example
+-------
+>>> from optimization_engine.hooks.nx_cad import geometry_query
+>>> result = geometry_query.get_mass_properties("C:/model.prt")
+>>> if result["success"]:
+...     print(f"Mass: {result['data']['mass']:.4f} kg")
+...     print(f"Material: {result['data']['material']}")
