Trait-color palette drift cleanup — re-align downstream files to style/trait-palette.md

The canonical trait-palette in style/trait-palette.md v0.1 (Eros-red,
Philotes-orange, Aletheia-yellow, Kairos-chartreuse, Sophrosyne-green,
Dikaiosyne-blue, Moira-violet, Mnemosyne-dusky-rose) was being contradicted by
old-palette references in three downstream files. This commit clears the drift
and enforces the import-don't-redefine discipline (per trait-palette.md
§Cross-domain rendering: "All sub-guides import these definitions; none
redefine them.").

topology-and-rendering/architecture.md:
  - Replaced the redefining trait-color table with a pointer to
    trait-palette.md per the import-don't-redefine rule. The old table was
    using the retired luminous-white-Aletheia + multiple wrong color-trait
    assignments (Sophrosyne-blue, Dikaiosyne-gold, Mnemosyne-violet,
    Moira-crimson, Eros-orange, Philotes-rose, Kairos-yellow).
  - Updated imperial-net distortion text and faction color-signatures table
    to use canonical color-names: Aletheia-white -> Aletheia-yellow;
    Mnemosyne-violet -> Mnemosyne-dusky-rose; Moira-crimson -> Moira-violet;
    Dikaiosyne-gold -> Dikaiosyne-blue; Sophrosyne-blue -> Sophrosyne-green;
    Philotes-rose -> Philotes-orange; Eros-orange -> Eros-red; Kairos-yellow
    -> Kairos-chartreuse.
  - Added clarifying note: imperial-net's clean-white-backgrounds +
    gold-rim-light are achromatic-and-cosmology palette choices distinct
    from the trait-color register being distorted (per the achromatic
    exception + imperial-cult/cosmology.md aesthetic palette).

schemas/findings.md:
  - Updated trait_colors INSERT seed-data with hex codes matching the new
    canonical hue-families and renamed canonical_name fields to match
    (Eros-red, Philotes-orange, Aletheia-yellow, Kairos-chartreuse,
    Sophrosyne-green, Dikaiosyne-blue, Moira-violet, Mnemosyne-dusky-rose).
    Reordered rows clockwise from 12 o'clock per wheel-position.
  - Added authority-comment pointing at trait-palette.md as the single source
    of truth and noting that the seed-data is reification, not redefinition;
    designer-precise hex values should be authored upstream and propagated.

runtime-engine/architecture.md:
  - Updated cosmetic-feedback example: warm-rose Philotes / cool-blue
    Sophrosyne -> warm-orange Philotes / green Sophrosyne; added pointer to
    trait-palette.md.

architecture-index.md:
  - Fixed typo "Eris" -> "Eros" in the v0.5 trait-axis-mapping open-question
    enumeration (the canonical 8 traits do not include Eris).

Verification: post-fix grep confirms zero remaining old-palette name
occurrences or old hex codes; new canonical names appear in all expected
locations.

SEPARATE FINDING flagged for designer review (NOT auto-fixed):
runtime-engine/architecture.md line 424 contains
  `(Philotes >= +1) AND (Eris <= 0)`
as a multi-axis-goal example. This uses "Eris" with semantic intent
(discord / faction-tension) but Eris is not in the canonical 8-trait list.
Left untouched because the fix could be either (a) typo-correction Eris -> Eros
or (b) rewrite-to-canonical-axis-with-different-example, depending on whether
"Eris" was intended as a 9th non-canonical axis or simply as a typo. Designer
decision.
