feat(kyberforge): wire Vale as deterministic prefilter for skill-audit/agent-audit

Adds repo-root .vale.ini plus a custom Kyberforge style (description-opener,
vague-wording, and generic reference-pointer padding rules) and a
KyberforgeCopilot style scoped to .agent.md files (Use proactively check).
skill-audit and agent-audit Step 1 now run vale against the specific file(s)
being audited and defer the corresponding Description/Patterns/Body checks
to its output instead of re-deriving them by LLM judgment, per the split
proposed in issue #84.

Closes #84

Note any structural FAILs — they will appear in the report as a `### Structure` dimension. If the script cannot execute (python3 unavailable, Bash denied, or permission error), perform structural checks manually: name format, name matches directory, description length ≤1024 chars, SKILL.md ≤500 lines, no unfilled `FILL IN:` placeholders, scripts executable and free of interactive prompts.
Note any Provenance FAILs and INFO findings from `validate-provenance.sh` — they surface in the report as a `### Provenance` dimension (separate from `### Structure`). The script embeds full FAIL/INFO format with Why and Fix per finding; surface them verbatim.
`vale` runs from the repo root against the target `SKILL.md` using the repo-root `.vale.ini` (custom `Kyberforge` style) — it is a deterministic prefilter for a subset of the Description and Patterns dimensions below, not a replacement for Step 3's qualitative pass. Map `error` alerts to `FAIL` and `warning`/`suggestion` alerts to `SUGGESTION` in the `### Description` / `### Patterns` report dimensions, citing the rule ID (e.g. `Kyberforge.DescriptionOpener`) as the finding. If `vale` is not installed or `.vale.ini` is missing, skip this and fall back to the manual judgment calls described in Step 3 — do not block the audit on tooling absence.
## Step 2 — Read all skill files
Read every file in the skill directory: `SKILL.md`, `README.md` (if present), all files in `scripts/`, `references/`, `assets/`, and `tests/`. Skip binary files only. Do not skip text files — internal consistency checks require the full picture.

### Description
- **Imperative phrasing**: does it use "Use when..." not "This skill..."?
- **Specificity**: are capabilities stated precisely ("parses OpenAPI specs") or vaguely ("helps with APIs")?
Vale's `Kyberforge.DescriptionOpener` (FAIL — "This skill..." openers) and `Kyberforge.VagueWording` (SUGGESTION — filler like "helps with", "utilize") alerts from Step 1 cover imperative phrasing and known vague-wording filler directly; report them as findings without re-deriving by judgment. The rest is still a judgment call:
- **Specificity beyond the filler blocklist**: are capabilities stated precisely ("parses OpenAPI specs") or genuinely vaguely ("handles files")?
- **Indirect triggers**: does it cover cases where the user doesn't name the domain directly?
- **Near-miss exclusions**: are "Do not use when..." clauses present if a near-miss skill could steal activations?
- **Length**: under 1024 characters?
