Defame1297 45cd26045a refactor(lint): retrofit vale-config to the ADR-0020 context contract
Description 657 -> 244 chars, body 504 -> 342 words, Gotchas 50% -> 24%.
The 50% was the worst ratio in the corpus and a real inverted body, not
the denominator artefact the ratio usually flags: half the body was a
Gotchas section doing duty as reference material.

A clean-context audit caught the split leaving a false statement behind.
Gotcha 1's kernel lost the qualifier that only package styles need
fetching, so it asserted that any style vale sync has not fetched fails
-- contradicting the same file twice, since the built-in Vale style and
any committed custom style are never fetched. An agent adding a custom
style would have added a spurious Packages entry and broken vale sync
outright. The qualifier is restored in the body rather than behind a
fourth reference pointer.

Also corrects the moved fixture's framing, which tabulated a control row
under a heading claiming it came from a multi-line fixture.

# vale-config
Install and configure Vale, the prose/style linter — `.vale.ini`, `StylesPath`, built-in/third-party/custom styles, and activation via `BasedOnStyles`.
## What it does
Covers the setup side of Vale: getting a project from no config to a working `.vale.ini` where `vale sync` runs clean and every declared style is actually activated for the right files. Does not run Vale or interpret its output — see `vale-run` for that.
## Usage
```
/vale-config
```
Describe what you want configured: initial setup, adding a third-party style package, or a custom rule. The skill covers install, `StylesPath` layout, `.vale.ini` structure, and `BasedOnStyles` activation.
