docs: retire the META.md guidance ADR-0022 overruled, bump touched plugins

Browse Source 
Why: ADR-0022 made `metadata.version` mandatory in SKILL.md frontmatter, but three documents still
instructed the opposite — that `version:`, `source:`, `references:` and `when:` belong in a separate
META.md. That recommendation was never implemented: META.md exists exactly once in this repo, inside
a vendored third-party research example, and all 39 skills now contradict it. A stale instruction
that outranks nothing is worse than no instruction, because an author following it undoes the ADR.

Implementation notes:
- Two LESSONS.md entries deleted outright — their entire payload was the rejected fix. Two kept and
  rewritten: the copy-fill entry loses only its META-TEMPLATE clause, and the `model:` entry keeps
  the provider-extension fact and the invocation-time boundary rule, which stand on their own.
- One factual error corrected in passing: the `extracted` slug entry claimed provenance is recorded
  in META.md. It lives in `references/sources.md` keyed by `source_keys:`, verified against
  validate-provenance.sh.
- Both docs/notes files gain `metadata.version` in their required-field lists. Deleting the stale
  paragraph while leaving those lists silent would have re-created the gap.
- `bin/write-docs` carried `metadata.version: "1.0"` — the only non-semver value in the corpus, and
  the result of relocating its old top-level `version:` without normalising it. Now `1.0.0`.
  ADR-0022 records the relocation it previously omitted, which issue #127 had asked it to decide.

Impact: patch bumps for the four plugins whose `.apm/` content changed — bin, git, gitea,
kyberforge. core and lint are untouched and stay put. Root apm.yml's `executables.allow` key and
marketplace package versions move in lockstep; the marketplace release version is unchanged.

**c. SKILL.md** (sub-agent)
Once all sections are confirmed, spawn a write agent to produce the SKILL.md using `write-skill` (or hand-write for bootstrap skills). The agent receives: trigger description, per-section decisions from step b, upstream content to incorporate, authoring standard (see below).
**c. META.md — `source:` and `references:` fields**
Populate `META.md` after upstream review. Two distinct fields:
- `source:` — upstream provenance tracking (repo slug, commit SHA, files adopted with inline comments, updated date). Present only if content was adopted. Absence = self-authored.
- `references:` — general citations (research papers, documentation, standard specifications). Present only if the skill cites external research.
**d. Provenance — source and reference records**
Record provenance after upstream review. Two distinct kinds:
- Upstream provenance (repo slug, commit SHA, files adopted with inline comments, updated date). Present only if content was adopted. Absence = self-authored.
- General citations (research papers, documentation, standard specifications). Present only if the skill cites external research.
Both fields live in `META.md` alongside the SKILL.md — not in frontmatter. See `META-TEMPLATE.md` in `.agents/skills/write-skill/` for the full schema.
Both are recorded in the skill's own `references/sources.md`, keyed by the `source_keys:` its SKILL.md and reference files declare. `validate-provenance.sh` checks that chain.
**d. eval.yaml** (sub-agent)
**e. eval.yaml** (sub-agent)
Invoke `write-eval` in two steps to preserve its confirmation gate:
1. Sub-agent proposes test cases and returns the plan to the main conversation.
2. Human confirms the plan; then sub-agent writes the file.
Do not pass pre-designed test cases directly to a write agent — that collapses the plan-then-confirm gate into a single step, bypassing write-eval's own constraint. Co-located at `.agents/evals/<category>/<skill-name>/eval.yaml`. Must contain all five required test types (see Eval schema below).
**e. HITL behavioral test**
**f. HITL behavioral test**
Human opens a fresh Claude session, invokes the skill with its trigger phrase, and verifies output. Do not batch more than 2–3 skills before running behavioral tests — output volume must stay within genuine human review capacity. An approval that cannot be meaningfully evaluated is not an approval.

Frontmatter contains only these fields. `version`, `updated`, `when`, `source`, and `references` are provenance/audit fields — they are not used for routing or runtime execution. They live in `META.md` alongside the SKILL.md, loaded only when needed. See `META-TEMPLATE.md` in `.agents/skills/write-skill/` for the META.md schema.
