Add STATE.scm conversation checkpoint for defiant

Create initial STATE.scm file following hyperpolymath/state.scm format.
Documents current project position (bootstrap/nascent), blocking issues,
questions for maintainer, route to MVP v1, and long-term roadmap.

Key findings:
- Project has CI/CD infrastructure but no source code
- Dependabot configuration is incomplete
- Project purpose/identity needs definition before MVP work can proceed
