ZacharyZhang-NY e74dafcd36 Silence render-disposed spam, unbreak bundled skills, drop board wake
Three independently ugly bugs that all fed the same log flood:

* Electron's `WebFrameMain.send` writes every "Render frame was disposed"
  to stderr via `console.error`. When the worker fans a second
  agent-event past a reloading renderer, we produced thousands of
  identical lines and stalled the main loop on stderr I/O. Added a
  `mainFrame.detached` guard so the send is short-circuited before
  Electron's own catch block fires, and installed a targeted filter in
  `suppress-warnings.ts` (now actually imported from the entry point)
  so the specific `console.error("Error sending from webFrameMain:"…)`
  noise never reaches the terminal. Any other payload still surfaces.

* `dispatchAgentMessage` accepted the human-reader sentinel as a wake
  target when an agent replied to `__board__` — `wakeAgentIfPossible`
  then called `db.getAgent("__board__")`, threw, and the dispatcher
  kept repeating on every send. Strip `HUMAN_SENDER_ID` at
  `resolveMessageWakeTargets`, and keep a defense-in-depth guard in the
  heartbeat so a stray caller (future automation fan-out) cannot
  reintroduce the crash.

* Pi's skills loader rejects any SKILL.md whose frontmatter `name`
  diverges from its parent directory. The four bundled `my-writing-style`
  copies declared `name: writing-style-skill`, so every install emitted
  a warning and dropped the skill. They also lived as orphan gitlinks
  (mode 160000 without .gitmodules), and the global `*.md` gitignore
  hid every other SKILL.md from version control. Fixed the frontmatter
  to match the dir, converted the dangling submodules to plain trees,
  and allowlisted `builtin-skills/**/*.md` so a fresh clone carries the
  catalogue instead of silently losing it.

## Release Components as Cohesive Units
Classes grouped into a component should be releasable together. A component should have a version number, release notes, and clear documentation. This is the Reuse/Release Equivalence Principle (REP).
**Incorrect (arbitrary grouping):**
```text
shared-lib/
├── src/
│ ├── auth/
│ │ ├── JwtValidator.ts
│ │ └── PermissionChecker.ts
│ ├── logging/
│ │ └── Logger.ts
│ ├── email/
│ │ └── EmailSender.ts
│ └── payment/
│ └── StripeClient.ts
└── package.json // version 1.2.3
# Version 1.2.4 fixes JWT bug
# But users of EmailSender must also upgrade
# Changelog unclear which features affect which users
```
**Correct (cohesive releasable components):**
```text
packages/
├── auth/
│ ├── src/
│ │ ├── JwtValidator.ts
│ │ ├── PermissionChecker.ts
│ │ └── index.ts
│ ├── CHANGELOG.md # Auth-specific changes
│ └── package.json # @company/auth v2.1.0
├── logging/
│ ├── src/
│ │ └── Logger.ts
│ ├── CHANGELOG.md
│ └── package.json # @company/logging v1.0.3
├── email/
│ ├── src/
│ │ └── EmailSender.ts
│ ├── CHANGELOG.md
│ └── package.json # @company/email v1.5.0
└── payments/
├── src/
│ └── StripeClient.ts
├── CHANGELOG.md
└── package.json # @company/payments v3.0.0
# Clear ownership: auth team owns @company/auth
# Independent versioning: JWT fix only bumps auth
# Semantic versioning: breaking change in payments doesn't affect others
```
**Benefits:**
- Teams release independently on their own schedule
- Version numbers communicate compatibility
- Changelogs specific to what users of each component care about
