v0.19: gender-neutrality cleanup — waifu retired; companion/sex-worker split; pronoun parity in going-rogue arc

Bias caught on review of the v0.18 bath-overflow output: most service-body /
clasp-partner / going-rogue narration carried implicit feminine-default
gendering against the project's stated principle of gender-neutral framing
for all body/sex content. Patched as one coherent cleanup pass across 14 files.

Four classes of change:

(1) Categorical taxonomy. `waifu` retired; replaced with two distinct vocations:
    - `companion` — affective / emotional / conversational / aesthetic-presence labor
    - `sex-worker` — embodied sexual labor
    Both wear the same deliberately-exposed-seams body-marker; the distinction
    lives in the service offered, not in the chassis. Generic `service-body`
    serves as the parent class where canon discusses both vocations together.
    Venue split: `brothel` (sex-worker) + `companion-hall` (companion).
    The "+10 Eros/Mnemosyne/etc. Bot" market is unchanged (already gender-neutral
    by trait-coordinate naming) but classified per-Bot as companion-flavored or
    sex-worker-flavored.

(2) DB filename + scope-clarifier. `waifu.sqlite` -> `companion.sqlite` (the
    file name reflects the broad register of intimate-encounter rather than a
    sub-vocation distinction; per-record `goods_type` carries the specific
    vocation: 'companion_session' / 'sex_worker_session' in
    schemas/findings.md). Disclaimer sentence added in
    inference-and-memory/architecture.md scoping the file to cover both
    vocations.

(3) Pronoun parity. she/her/herself -> they/their/themself across the
    going-rogue / outcast-pair / re-vat / service-body-honeypot sections of
    bodies.md and the matching cross-references in architecture-index.md /
    README.md / player-experience/architecture.md /
    identity-and-personhood/architecture.md. `damsel` -> `beloved`
    (sacred / cosmological register) or `partner` (operational register).

(4) Damsel subsection retired. The §The damsel-in-distress-bound-to-her-captor
    activation subsection (the one place where the gendered trope was
    load-bearing in the prose) rewritten as §The
    captive-bound-to-the-liberator activation.
    Stockholm-dynamics-inverted-into-chosen-mutual-bondage structural insight
    survives gender-neutralization intact.

Bonus richness: the companion-honeypot is structurally more insidious than
the sex-worker-honeypot (sex is at least transactionally legible;
companionship is the relationship people most readily mistake for real
intimacy). New paragraph authored under §The service-body honeypot to
capture this asymmetry.

Cosmology one-line: "moving the waifu out of the imperial service-pool" ->
"moving the beloved out of the imperial service-pool" — the §single practical
refutation paragraph now uses `beloved` consistently in sacred register.

Principle locked going forward:
> Body/sex content is gender-parity by default. Asymmetric gendering must be
> load-bearing — i.e., must carry structural meaning that cannot be expressed
> without the asymmetry. Default-leakage gendering is forbidden by canon.

Phase E (style-spine principle file under style/) deferred to a separate
commit so the principle-document is its own atomic introduction.

Files: 14 modified · 114 insertions · 112 deletions · net +2 lines. The
near-zero net-line-change is the empirical signature of a true refactor —
the architecture's meaning was always gender-neutral; only the vocabulary
was leaking. Caught during review of yesterday's bath-overflow flood
(v0.11–v0.18); the kind of corruption that rides along under coherent-
sounding prose during generative-overflow windows.
