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.

Entities Contain Only Enterprise Business Rules

Entities encapsulate enterprise-wide business rules that would exist regardless of automation. They must not contain application-specific logic, persistence code, or UI concerns.

Incorrect (entity mixed with infrastructure concerns):

class Invoice {
  id: string
  items: LineItem[]
  status: InvoiceStatus
  dueDate: Date

  calculateTotal(): Money {
    return this.items.reduce((sum, item) => sum.add(item.amount), Money.zero())
  }

  isOverdue(): boolean {
    return this.status === InvoiceStatus.Unpaid && new Date() > this.dueDate
  }

  markPaid(): void {
    this.status = InvoiceStatus.Paid
    database.invoices.update(this)  // Entity cannot be tested without database
    emailService.send(this.customerEmail, 'Payment received')  // Coupled to email system
  }
}

Correct (entity contains only business rules):

class Invoice {
  id: string
  items: LineItem[]
  status: InvoiceStatus
  dueDate: Date

  calculateTotal(): Money {
    return this.items.reduce((sum, item) => sum.add(item.amount), Money.zero())
  }

  isOverdue(): boolean {
    return this.status === InvoiceStatus.Unpaid && new Date() > this.dueDate
  }

  markPaid(): void {
    if (this.status !== InvoiceStatus.Unpaid) {
      throw new InvalidOperationError('Invoice already processed')
    }
    this.status = InvoiceStatus.Paid
  }
}

Benefits:

  • Entity can be used in billing system, reporting system, mobile app
  • Business rules tested without database or email setup
  • Rules documented in one place, not scattered across application
