fix(content): purge all remaining Krenn references
Replace every occurrence of "Krenn" with "Van Maanen's Star" (or contextual variants like VMS for locale codes, Van Maanen for proper noun contexts). Covers CHANGELOG, briefings, workshop docs, sprint briefings, environmental text examples, templates, ticker content, and architecture docs.

### Analogy: Dialogue as an `i18n` System

The core of this design is to think of character voice as a "language." Our simple, non-LLM template system provides the default "language" (`en-US`)—a clear, functional line of text that serves the gameplay. The LLM's job is to "translate" this line into a specific character's "language" (`en-KRENN-RUTHLESS`).
