Acceptance Criteria

section's header group gains an optional epigraph group (quote, attribution) after the blurb, so every rune composed over section reads it
A blockquote at the start of a page's content, or directly after its # title, with an attribution, is an epigraph
A blockquote without an attribution stays a quotation, and a lone attribution after a headline stays the blurb
An epigraph renders as <figure data-quote="epigraph"> with its <figcaption>, and Lumina styles it

What was done

packages/runes/src/tags/section.ts: the auto header group gains an optional epigraph group (epigraph-quote blockquote + epigraph-attribution paragraph, required within), rendered after the blurb inside the header; both are registered header roles for the ADR-046 audit (lib/header-roles.ts remedies).
packages/runes/src/nodes.ts: a document node; pageEpigraphAt finds an attributed blockquote opening the content or directly after the # title.
packages/runes/src/lib/attribution.ts: the shared attribution item model, reader and <figure>/<figcaption> renderers; pullquote uses it.
packages/lumina/styles/elements/blockquote.css: the [data-quote="epigraph"] role styles; the vocabulary gap is closed.
Tests: epigraph.test.ts (section and page positions, the negative cases); the section declared-model test.
Docs: the section reference page.

Notes

A sweep of every repo .md found no existing content that changes.
An epigraph sits at the start with an indent rather than against the line's end: on a page with no measure an end-aligned one drifted far from the text.
