Add consistent Aha Moment demos to all 20 modules

Each module now includes a self-contained demo function that:
- Uses the 🎯 emoji for consistency with MODULE SUMMARY
- Explains what was built and why it matters
- Provides a quick, visual demonstration
- Runs automatically after test_module() in __main__

Format: demo_[module_name]() with markdown explanation before it.
All demos are self-contained with no cross-module imports.
