fix(#2322): materialize installed third-party capability skills (#2340)

* test(#2322): fail-first tests for third-party capability skill materialization

Red phase: tests (1) and (6) fail — resolveSurface reports the third-party stem
surfaced (#2045) but no SKILL.md is ever written to disk. The other four are
controls that must keep holding: first-party-wins collision, profile-tier filter,
nested-router layout unperturbed, and absent/malformed capability must not throw.

* fix(#2322): materialize installed third-party capability skills

A capability could report installed:true, surfaced:true, active:true and still
never exist as an invocable command. #2045 fixed the registry layer —
resolveSurface unions registry.capabilityClusters into the resolved skill set —
but the materialization layer never got the matching fix.
stageSkillsForRuntimeAsSkills only ever read gsd-core's own bundled
commands/gsd/*.md and silently skipped any stem it couldn't find there, so a
third-party skill living at <GSD_HOME>/.gsd/capabilities/<id>/skills/<stem>/
was never copied. Registry said surfaced; disk had nothing.

Installed capability skills are now staged alongside the first-party ones, copied
verbatim (they are authored complete for their target runtime and need no
converter). First-party stems always win a collision, the profile filter still
applies, and an absent or malformed capability degrades rather than throwing.

Security: capability.json's skills[] entries are validated only as non-empty
non-reserved strings (capability-validator.cjs:503-514) — no path shape is
enforced upstream — so stems are sanitized (rejecting separators, '..', absolute
paths, NUL) with an independent isPathConfined check on both the read and write
paths. A '../../evil' stem writes nothing outside the capability's own dir.

Also fixes a defect this surfaced in pruneSkillDirs: a materialized capability
skill dir has no first-party manifest entry, so every apply logged
"preserving (user-owned or unknown)" for a live GSD-managed dir. The retained
check now precedes the manifest gate; no deletion outcome changes, and genuinely
unknown gsd-* dirs still warn and are preserved.

* fix(#2322): address security review — bind skills to declaring capability, fix full profile

An independent security review BLOCKED the first pass. Both blockers were mine.

BLOCKER 1 (security): readInstalledCapabilitySkill scanned every capability dir
and returned the first sorted match, never checking that a capability DECLARES
the stem — ownership was inferred from attacker-controlled filesystem layout.
Since install copies the whole bundle and the validator only checks DECLARED
entries, a capability declaring `skills: []` could ship an undeclared
skills/deploy/SKILL.md and win the `deploy` stem on sort order, supplying the
agent-invocable instructions the user believed came from the registered
capability. Stems are now bound to their owning capId via
registry.capabilityClusters, and only that capability's dir is read.

BLOCKER 2: the fill-in pass was gated `skills !== '*'` on the premise that
applySurface materializes `full` into a concrete Set. True for applySurface —
false for the installer, which is the default path: resolveProfile returns the
'*' sentinel and bin/install.js passes it straight to staging. So #2322 survived
on the default `full` profile, i.e. the fix didn't fix the reported bug. The
registry is now plumbed to staging, and '*' stages all capability-cluster stems.
Wiring this surfaced a second gap: the ADR-1239 imperative adapter (the primary
install path) never threaded its registry either, which would have silently
defeated the fix on the real default install.

HIGH: staged capability skills were never prunable — pruneSkillDirs gates on the
first-party manifest, so uninstalling a capability left its instructions live in
the agent's context forever. Staged skills now carry a marker making them
GSD-owned and prunable; genuinely unknown gsd-* dirs still warn and are preserved.

MEDIUM: the "staged verbatim" claim was false — applySurface rewrites bodies over
the whole stage dir. The tests asserted byte-equality and passed only because
their fixtures contained no rewrite triggers. Claim dropped; tests now assert the
rewrite against triggering content.

LOW: isPathConfined is lexical, not realpath (symlink-defeatable, currently
unreachable because install rejects symlinks) — comment corrected. The validator
does not enforce non-empty, so isSafeCapabilitySkillStem is the sole defense, not
a second layer — comment corrected and it now has traversal/NUL/absolute/empty
test coverage (previously mutating it to `return true` left every test green).

* test(#2322): pin that the imperative adapter forwards a capability registry

The delegation-args test deep-equalled the exact argv to
installRuntimeArtifacts, so threading the composed capability registry through
the ADR-1239 imperative adapter (required for #2322 — without it the default
`full` install path never materializes third-party capability skills) failed it.

The contract legitimately gained a parameter, so this is a stale-test
correction, not a regression. Rather than deep-equalling the whole composed
registry (brittle — it embeds the full agent/profile map), the test pins the
leading args exactly and asserts only that a registry-shaped value is forwarded.
That still fails if the adapter stops threading it, which is the regression the
test exists to catch.
