4d7b22f3ff QA analysis of KQVI puzzle dependencies + fixes
- Created QA report identifying 5+ invalid dependencies:
  1. Village Phase: S3-S6 shown as sequential but are parallel paths
  2. Five Gnomes: Pearl not gated by gnome solutions
  3. Phase 6/7 ordering: Shield from Minotaur Maze required BEFORE archer
  4. Minotaur internal: S23/S24 and S20/S21 are parallel, not sequential

- Fixed main chart:
  - Village: Show parallel paths converging (S3,S4,S5,S6 → P4)
  - Five Gnomes: Pearl (S12) now independent, gnomes gate north path
  - Phase 6/7: Restructured to show Must do Minotaur Maze FIRST to get Shield
  - Added Phase 6b for return visit with Shield
  - Renumbered all subsequent phases
  - Updated Key Dependency Chains text
