Subject: [PATCH] docs: cross-link to cyclone-pipeline sibling project

Add a 'Pipeline automation agent' section under '## Dev' that
points operators to the sibling project at
/Users/openclaw/dev/cyclone-pipeline/. Add a 'Sub-project 22
(shipped)' entry to the roadmap so the new project is discoverable
from the cyclone README's release history.

+## Pipeline automation agent
+
+For unattended round-trips (an agent / scheduler drops an 837P file
+into the pipeline and waits for the 999 back from Gainwell), see the
+`cyclone-pipeline` sibling project at `/Users/openclaw/dev/cyclone-pipeline/`.
+It drives the full 7-phase state machine — preflight → browser upload →
+parse verification → SFTP submit → TA1 wait → 999 wait → scan +
+report — with structured JSON logs, crash-safe resume, and a
+self-contained per-run folder under `./runs/`.
+
+```bash
+# Single file
+cyclone-pipeline run /path/to/axiscare-837p.txt
+
+# Resume a crashed run
+cyclone-pipeline resume 2026-06-21-1430-001
+
+# On/after the following Monday, verify the 835 arrived
+cyclone-pipeline check-835 2026-06-21-1430-001
+```
+
+The 835 is **not** waited for inline (it lands the following Monday on
+the CO Medicaid payment cycle). See
+[`cyclone-pipeline/README.md`](../cyclone-pipeline/README.md) for
+install, embed-in-agent example, exit codes, and the report format.
