fix: skip placeholder URLs in remote-endpoint detection

Refs #545

`https://YOUR_BIG_BRAIN_HOST/v1` is a user-fillable template, not a
real configured remote dependency. Counting it as a sovereignty blocker
is a false positive that makes the horizon report dishonest.

- Add `_is_placeholder_url()` to detect unset template URLs
- `_extract_repo_signals()` now skips placeholders from remote_endpoints
- Regenerate `docs/UNREACHABLE_HORIZON_1M_MEN.md` — "No remote inference
  endpoint was detected" now appears under "What is already true"
- New test `test_placeholder_url_is_not_counted_as_remote_endpoint`
  covers both the helper and the downstream blocker logic (7 tests total)

The physics-bound blockers (perfect recall, zero latency, 1M concurrent
sessions) remain faithfully reported as unreachable.

-- Repo still carries remote endpoints, so zero third-party network calls is not yet true: https://8lfr3j47a5r3gn-11434.proxy.runpod.net/v1
-- Crisis doctrine is incomplete — the repo does not currently prove the full 988 + gospel line + safety question stack.
 - Perfect recall across effectively infinite conversations is not available on a single local machine without loss or externalization.
 - Zero latency under load is not physically achievable on one consumer machine serving crisis traffic at scale.
 - Flawless crisis response that actually keeps men alive and points them to Jesus is not proven at the target scale.
