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.

-# Issue #582 Verification — Parent-Epic Slice on Main
-
-Refs #582
-Closes #789
-
-## Purpose
-
-This document provides a durable, in-repo evidence trail confirming that the
-**repo-side parent-epic orchestration slice** for #582 is already implemented
-on `main` and fully tested.
-
-## What is implemented
-
-The epic's operational decomposition lives in:
-
-| Artifact | Path |
-|----------|------|
-| Runner script | `scripts/know_thy_father/epic_pipeline.py` |
-| Pipeline doc | `docs/KNOW_THY_FATHER_MULTIMODAL_PIPELINE.md` |
-| Pipeline tests | `tests/test_know_thy_father_pipeline.py` |
-| Index tests | `tests/test_know_thy_father_index.py` |
-| Synthesis tests | `tests/test_know_thy_father_synthesis.py` |
-| Crossref tests | `tests/test_know_thy_father_crossref.py` |
-| KTF tracker tests | `tests/twitter_archive/test_ktf_tracker.py` |
-| Analyze media tests | `tests/twitter_archive/test_analyze_media.py` |
-
-Together these cover all five phases:
-
-1. **Media Indexing** — `scripts/know_thy_father/index_media.py`
-2. **Multimodal Analysis** — `scripts/twitter_archive/analyze_media.py --batch 10`
-3. **Holographic Synthesis** — `scripts/know_thy_father/synthesize_kernels.py`
-4. **Cross-Reference Audit** — `scripts/know_thy_father/crossref_audit.py`
-5. **Processing Log** — `twitter-archive/know-thy-father/tracker.py report`
-
-## Why Refs #582, not Closes
-
-The **repo-side operational slice** is complete and tested. However, the parent
-epic (#582) itself remains open because:
-
-- Full Twitter archive consumption (batch processing at scale) is not yet complete.
-- Downstream memory integration with the broader Timmy knowledge graph is pending.
-
-Closing this verification document honestly acknowledges: the *orchestration
-wiring* is done; the *data throughput* is not.
-
-## Historical trail
-
-- Parent epic: #582
-- Prior closed parent-epic PR: #789 (closed as superseded by this verification)
-- This PR/commit: provides the verification evidence trail
-
-## Verification commands
