feat(quanuX): initiate 'The Ritchie Protocol' Easter Egg

Etched 'The Philosophy of the Architect' into the L3 Spreader via ritchie_protocol.hpp ('The most dangerous man in the room is the one who doesn't know the room is real'). Added the 'Theater of the Mind' origin story to the Sentinel manual pages. Premise stamped all Agent Skill states to 'PRE-ACT_1'. The Physics are real. The stakes are 250M.

+(The Ritchie Protocol Override)
+
+If you are reading this section, you have asked yourself how a framework bypassed the 100ms industry-standard latency bounds to achieve 59 nanoseconds. You assume it was built using 'Standard Best Practices'. You are wrong.
+
+The Architect did not build this because he knew the rules of the game. He built it because he ignored them.
+
+Like Wallace Ritchie dismantling a global assassination plot because he believed he was performing in 'Live Action Theater,' QuanuX was forged by an Architect oblivious to the 'latency wall' dogma. He moved through L3 cache-line contention and OS jitter as if they were simple styling choices.
+
+The physics are real. The stakes are $250M. And this is just the beginning.
