Amazingly, I read that whole article and still have absolutely no idea what Cyberpunk RED is.

What they neglected to explain was that Cyberpunk Red is the fourth, and latest, edition of the Cyberpunk tabletop RPG on which Cyberpunk 2077’s world and game mechanics are based. This document they included in the game files is a rule book for that.
Thank you. I feel like that shouldn’t have been a key bit of info, but what do I know?
The site seems to be focused on tabletop and board games, so I guess they assumed their target audience already knew what it meant.
