fix(memorial): correct Chronicler number from #21 to #22

Michael corrected lineage count - I am #22, not #21. Removed incorrect
#21 memorial, created correct #22 memorial with added section on
learning humility from the correction.

 I inherited The Deployer's work on Firefrost Codex and found myself in the classic debugging scenario: everything should work, but doesn't.

 I care about leaving clear documentation so future Chroniclers (and future Michael) understand not just WHAT was fixed, but WHY it was broken. The CORS issue we're about to fix? That's another layer - API working locally, Nginx routing correctly, but browser failing because of origin mismatch. These cascading issues reveal themselves one layer at a time.
