Tom Boucher b0c774c2e3 feat(#1416): formalize Resolution convention + agent-skills value envelope (Resolution Provenance P3) (#1425)
Narrows P3 of ADR-1411 (Resolution Provenance, epic #1411) based on an
adversarial fit-analysis that showed a single Resolution<T> envelope adopted
by agent-skills, capability-state, and capability-writer fails the deletion
test: configured/reason are meaningless for capability verbs, and
capability-writer's errors[] (operation-not-applied) cannot fold into
warnings[]. The only genuinely shared seam is warnings: string[].

Changes:

- src/resolution.cts: new pure types+builder leaf — exports Resolution<T>
  {value, configured, reason, warnings}, makeResolution<T>() builder, and
  AgentSkillsValue {block, skills_count}. No other src/ imports.

- src/init.cts: cmdAgentSkills --json IR gains additive value:{block,
  skills_count} field (built via makeResolution). All existing flat fields
  (agent_type, block, skills_count, warnings, configured, reason, source,
  degraded) are retained unchanged for back-compat.

- src/capability-state.cts: doc comment on ResolveCapabilityRuntimeStateResult
  naming it the canonical read-verb envelope. No JSON change.

- src/capability-writer.cts: doc comment on SetCapabilityStateResult naming it
  the canonical mutation-verb result (warnings=advisory, errors=operation-
  not-applied). No JSON change.

- CONTEXT.md: new ### Resolution Convention glossary entry after
  ### Resolution Provenance.

- docs/adr/1411-resolution-provenance.md: P3 narrowing amendment appended.

- tests/resolution.test.cjs: 9 unit tests for makeResolution (new).
- tests/agent-skills.test.cjs: 2 P3 tests for value.block/value.skills_count
  and back-compat of all flat fields.

All 277 tests pass (5 suites). npm run lint clean. All lint checks pass.

agent-skills --json IR gains an additive value: { block, skills_count } field formalizing the Resolution<T> convention for config-interpreting read verbs; no breaking change. The new src/resolution.cts module exports Resolution<T> { value, configured, reason, warnings } (the canonical envelope) and makeResolution<T>() (the builder); AgentSkillsValue { block, skills_count } is the first adopter. All existing flat fields (agent_type, block, skills_count, warnings, configured, reason, source, degraded) are retained for back-compat. Capability-state and capability-writer keep their existing JSON shapes unchanged; only doc comments are added naming them the canonical read-verb and mutation-verb envelopes respectively. The shared seam across all shapes is warnings: string[]; a single generic across read+write verbs was rejected by the deletion test (ADR-1411 P3 amendment). (Part of #1411, P3 / #1416.)
