Foundation layer for cross-border corridor scaffolding (#40 PR 1/4). Adds 2 EU regulation sources (Brussels IV, EC 883/2004) and 5 cross-border conditions. All subsequent corridor PRs depend on this.

notes: "Under Brussels IV, a single European Certificate of Succession can be used across member states to prove inheritance rights. Cross-border estates may require coordination between notaries in multiple jurisdictions and separate succession declarations per country."

notes: "Triggers additional cross-border checks. Under Brussels IV Art. 21, succession is governed by habitual residence law — but nationality may matter if the deceased chose their nationality's law under Art. 22. Relevant for approximately 47% of Luxembourg residents who are foreign nationals."
