ci(skill-check): scan the docs a contributor reads
The check asserts that every make target named in a doc exists, and its
scanned set was .pi/ plus CLAUDE.md.  Since #50, CONTRIBUTING.md is the
document a *human* goes to for a build command, and it names 21 targets
that nothing verified; README.md names none today and is in for the same
reason.  The script's own header sentence is the argument — a renamed
target sends a person off the same cliff it sends an agent off.

The file list is now one `docs` variable used twice, because the failure
message carried a second copy of it and a second list is a second thing
to forget.  The `[ -d .pi ]` guard went with it: gating the whole run on
.pi/ would make the human-facing half conditional on the agent-facing
one, and an empty list is the same "nothing to scan" exit without the
coupling.

The lefthook glob is that scanned set now rather than
{Makefile,.pi/**/*.md} — #220's smaller half, and it did not fire on
CLAUDE.md either, which the script had read for months.

Verified by planting a bad target rather than by reading the diff: both
matched forms in each of the four scanned surfaces, each naming the
right file; the same two plants pass on the pre-change script; unfenced
prose still does not match; and the hook fires on a staged
CONTRIBUTING.md under the new glob where the old one skipped it.  The
count is unchanged at 47 — the set is a union — so coverage is the only
thing that moved.

Closes #220

# Every command in the agent-facing docs is a `make` target on purpose:
# the Makefile is the source of truth for *how* to invoke something, and
# the docs only decide *which* and *in what order*. This check keeps
# that honest — a renamed or deleted target turns into a failing commit
# rather than into an agent confidently running a command that no longer
# exists.
#
# It checks two things. Usage: scripts/skill-check.sh
#
# **Every `make <target>` named in an agent-facing doc exists.** The
# scanned set is `.pi/` *and* CLAUDE.md, which is the half that was
# missing: CLAUDE.md names 27 targets and nothing verified one of them,
# so the file the agents trust most was the file least checked.
#
# README.md and CONTRIBUTING.md are in it too, and the header sentence
# above is why: a person who has *not* read the Makefile goes looking in
# the contributor-facing doc, so a renamed target sends them off the
# same cliff it sends an agent off. CONTRIBUTING.md names 21 targets.
#
# **AGENTS.md is a symlink to CLAUDE.md.** This repo is worked on by
# two agent harnesses that read different files by convention — Claude
# Code reads CLAUDE.md, others read AGENTS.md — and two harnesses
# reading two descriptions of one project is how they come to hold
# different beliefs about it. A symlink makes that impossible by
# construction; a *copy* would pass every other check in this repo while
# silently drifting, which is exactly the failure being prevented, so
# the symlink itself is asserted rather than its contents compared.

# A mention counts only when it is code: backticked (`make ui-test`)

# The fence is why this is awk rather than one grep. Line-start alone is
# not evidence of code in a file that is mostly hard-wrapped prose: the
# sentence "Two green branches do not / make a green merge" wrapped onto
# a line beginning `make a`, and the check duly failed on a target called
# `a`. Inside a fence it is code; outside one it is a sentence that
# happened to break there, and a check that fails on reflow gets
# disabled rather than fixed.

# AGENTS.md is deliberately not in this list: it is a symlink to
# CLAUDE.md, asserted above, so scanning it would report every failure
# twice under two names.
