Subject: [PATCH] Fix 5 dangling node issues in KQVI chart

- Add A_GIVE_RING_TO_BEAUTY --> O_RECEIVE_BEASTS_RING (item returned by Beauty)
- Add O_NAVIGATE_MAZE --> P_PROBLEM_DARK_L2 (dark maze entrance)
- Add C1 --> A_SEARCH_BOOKSHELF (optional village activity)
- Add P_PROBLEM_CHARON --> A_PAY_CHARON (ferry payment problem)
- Add C4 --> P_PROBLEM_ROSE_HEDGE (archer gate to next obstacle)

Remaining 23 dead-ends are legitimate parallel collectibles that
feed into multi-source problem nodes downstream.
