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.

## Treat Main as a Plugin to the Application
The Main component is the lowest-level, dirtiest component. It creates all factories, strategies, and global facilities, then hands control to high-level abstractions. Treat it as a plugin that can be swapped.
**Incorrect (Main mixed with application logic):**
```go
// main.go
func main() {
db := connectDatabase()
// Business logic in main
http.HandleFunc("/orders", func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
var order Order
json.NewDecoder(r.Body).Decode(&order)
// Validation logic
if order.Total < 0 {
http.Error(w, "Invalid total", 400)
return
}
// Direct database calls
db.Exec("INSERT INTO orders ...")
// Response formatting
json.NewEncoder(w).Encode(map[string]string{"status": "ok"})
})
http.ListenAndServe(":8080", nil)
}
// Cannot test without starting HTTP server
// Cannot run with different database
```
**Correct (Main as composition root):**
```go
// main.go - Production entry point
func main() {
app := bootstrap(ProductionConfig{
DatabaseURL: os.Getenv("DATABASE_URL"),
Port: os.Getenv("PORT"),
})
app.Run()
}
// bootstrap.go - Composition root
func bootstrap(config Config) *Application {
// Create infrastructure
db := postgres.NewConnection(config.DatabaseURL)
// Create repositories (implement domain interfaces)
orderRepo := postgres.NewOrderRepository(db)
userRepo := postgres.NewUserRepository(db)
// Create use cases (depend on interfaces)
placeOrder := usecases.NewPlaceOrderUseCase(orderRepo)
getOrders := usecases.NewGetOrdersUseCase(orderRepo)
// Create controllers (call use cases)
orderController := controllers.NewOrderController(placeOrder, getOrders)
// Wire up HTTP routes
router := http.NewRouter()
router.POST("/orders", orderController.Create)
router.GET("/orders", orderController.List)
return &Application{
Router: router,
Port: config.Port,
}
}
// main_test.go - Test entry point
func TestMain(t *testing.T) {
app := bootstrap(TestConfig{
DatabaseURL: "memory://", // In-memory for tests
Port: "0", // Random port
})
// Test against app
}
// main_dev.go - Development entry point
func main() {
app := bootstrap(DevConfig{
DatabaseURL: "localhost:5432",
Port: "3000",
})
app.RunWithHotReload()
}
```
**Benefits:**
- Swap database, logging, configuration per environment
- Integration tests use real wiring with test doubles
- Dev/staging/prod share same composition logic
