refactor(pc-run): retrofit to the ADR-0020 context contract

Description 477 -> 211 chars, body 736 -> 367 words. Install, autoupdate,
and clean become flow files behind the Route table.

The audit found no route for 'hooks aren't running': the only pointer to
failure-patterns.md sat inside the failure path, but when hooks never fire
the manual run succeeds, so the request fell to the ambiguity default and
was masked. Restores the disclosure that install -f is not reversible by
uninstall.

## Gotchas
- Hooks not running on `git commit` almost always means `pre-commit install` was never run in this clone. Git hooks are per-clone — they are not committed to the repo.
- When a hook modifies files (e.g. `trailing-whitespace`, `end-of-file-fixer`), the commit is blocked intentionally — the staged version is stale. The fix is `git add -u && git commit`. Do NOT call `pre-commit install -f` here; that is for overwriting existing hooks, not re-staging.
- `pre-commit autoupdate` modifies `.pre-commit-config.yaml` in-place. Re-read the file after calling it to show the user the updated `rev` values.
- The `SKIP` env var requires exact hook `id` values, comma-separated, no spaces: `SKIP=check-yaml,gitleaks git commit -m "msg"`. A space after the comma silently skips nothing.
- Never use `git commit --no-verify` (or `-n`) to bypass a failing hook. Hooks are the automated QA gate; bypassing them breaks the pipeline. Diagnose and fix the failure instead — see the hook-specific guidance below and in `references/failure-patterns.md`.
- A stages mismatch — hook stage not installed — means the hook was added to the config but `pre-commit install` was not re-run with the correct `-t` flags. Hooks in stages not listed under `default_install_hook_types` will never fire.
- The `SKIP` env var takes exact hook `id` values, comma-separated with no spaces: `SKIP=check-yaml,gitleaks git commit -m "msg"`. A space after a comma silently skips nothing instead of erroring.
- Never bypass a failing hook with `git commit --no-verify` (or `-n`). Hooks are the automated QA gate, so a bypassed commit pushes the failure downstream where it costs more — diagnose it instead.
## Route
Determine intent from the user's request, then execute the matching operation:
Determine intent from the user's request, then execute the matching operation. Where the matching row names a `references/` file, read that one file and no other — each flow file is self-contained.
| User intent | Operation |
|---|---|
| "run", "check", "verify", "test hooks" | `pre-commit run --all-files` (default) |
| "staged", "simulate commit" | `pre-commit run` (staged files only) |
| "CI", "changed files only", "diff range" | `pre-commit run --from-ref <base> --to-ref <head>` — prefer this over `--all-files` on large repos |
| "install", "set up hooks", "wire into git" | `pre-commit install` — see Install |
| "pre-create environments", "install-hooks", "warm cache" | `pre-commit install-hooks` — see Install |
| "remove hooks", "uninstall", "tear down pre-commit" | `pre-commit uninstall` |
| "autoupdate", "update versions", "bump revs" | `pre-commit autoupdate` |
| "gc", "garbage collect" | `pre-commit gc` |
| "clean", "wipe cache", "rebuild from scratch" | `pre-commit clean` — see Clean |
| "install", "set up hooks", "wire into git" | `pre-commit install` — read `references/install.md` |
| "pre-create environments", "warm cache" | `pre-commit install-hooks` — builds every hook environment without running a hook |
| "remove hooks", "uninstall", "tear down" | `pre-commit uninstall` — removes pre-commit from `.git/hooks/` |
| "autoupdate", "update versions", "bump revs" | `pre-commit autoupdate` — read `references/autoupdate.md` |
| "gc", "garbage collect" | `pre-commit gc` — drops unused cached environments only, safe at any time |
| "clean", "wipe cache", "rebuild from scratch" | `pre-commit clean` — read `references/clean.md` |
| "hooks aren't running", "hook never fires", "why did a hook fail" | Diagnose — read `references/failure-patterns.md` |
If the intent is ambiguous, default to `pre-commit run --all-files`.
## Run
Default: `pre-commit run --all-files`. Never silently run staged-only.
Default to `pre-commit run --all-files`; never silently narrow to staged files. Run `pre-commit run` (staged only) or `pre-commit run <hook-id>` (one named hook) when the user asks for it.
```bash
pre-commit run --all-files
```
When hooks fail:
**When hooks fail**, read the output and:
1. Identify which hook failed and the specific cause. Be concrete: "gitleaks blocked `config.json` (high-entropy string on line 12)", not just "gitleaks failed".
2. Suggest a concrete next step. Common patterns are in `references/failure-patterns.md`.
3. Do NOT auto-fix code files. Do NOT modify `.pre-commit-config.yaml`. Those are the user's or `pc-author`'s responsibility.
If the user asks to run only staged files: `pre-commit run` (no `--all-files`).
If the user names a specific hook: `pre-commit run <hook-id>`.
## Install
Only run when the user explicitly asks to install or set up hooks.
Before running, check for existing hook files:
```bash
ls .git/hooks/
```
If any hook files exist (e.g. a hand-written `pre-commit`), `pre-commit install` does NOT refuse or error — it defaults to migration mode, which runs the existing hook and pre-commit's hooks both. Only `-f` replaces the existing hook file outright, and that replacement is not reversible via `pre-commit uninstall` — uninstall only removes pre-commit from `.git/hooks/`, it does not restore whatever hand-written hook `-f` overwrote. If files are present, tell the user: "Existing hook files found at `.git/hooks/<names>`. Plain `pre-commit install` will run both; `pre-commit install -f` will overwrite them permanently instead. Proceed with plain install, or overwrite?" Wait for confirmation before using `-f`.
```bash
pre-commit install
```
Re-run with `-t` flags when `default_install_hook_types` was changed or when hooks in non-default stages aren't firing:
```bash
pre-commit install -t pre-commit -t pre-push -t commit-msg
```
To pre-create all hook environments without running hooks (useful for CI warm-up or first-time setup):
```bash
pre-commit install-hooks
```
To remove pre-commit from `.git/hooks/` entirely:
```bash
pre-commit uninstall
```
## Autoupdate
```bash
pre-commit autoupdate
```
After it completes, read `.pre-commit-config.yaml` and report which `rev` values changed. If the user wants to pin to exact SHAs (for reproducibility): `pre-commit autoupdate --freeze`.
## Clean and GC
**`gc`** — removes only unused cached environments. Safe to run at any time:
```bash
pre-commit gc
```
**`clean`** — wipes the entire cache at `~/.cache/pre-commit`. All hook environments will be re-downloaded on next run. Require explicit confirmation before running:
> "This will wipe the entire pre-commit cache. All hook environments will be re-downloaded on next run. Proceed?"
Wait for the user to say yes before executing:
```bash
pre-commit clean
```
1. Name the hook and the specific cause. Be concrete — "gitleaks blocked `config.json` (high-entropy string on line 12)", not "gitleaks failed".
2. Suggest one concrete next step. If the cause is not obvious from the output, read `references/failure-patterns.md`.
3. Do not auto-fix code files, and do not edit `.pre-commit-config.yaml` — those belong to the user or to `pc-author`.
