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.

## Keep ORM Usage in Infrastructure Layer
ORM-specific code (entities, mappings, queries) belongs in the infrastructure layer. The domain and application layers should not know which ORM (or if any ORM) is being used.
**Incorrect (ORM in application layer):**
```python
# application/usecases/get_orders.py
from sqlalchemy.orm import Session, joinedload
from sqlalchemy import and_, or_
class GetOrdersUseCase:
def __init__(self, session: Session): # SQLAlchemy session in use case
self.session = session
def execute(self, customer_id: str, filters: OrderFilters):
# SQLAlchemy query in use case
query = self.session.query(Order).options(
joinedload(Order.items),
joinedload(Order.customer)
)
if filters.status:
query = query.filter(Order.status == filters.status)
if filters.date_range:
query = query.filter(and_(
Order.created_at >= filters.date_range.start,
Order.created_at <= filters.date_range.end
))
return query.order_by(Order.created_at.desc()).all()
# Use case is now coupled to SQLAlchemy
# Switching to Peewee or raw SQL requires rewriting use case
```
**Correct (ORM isolated in infrastructure):**
```python
# application/ports/order_repository.py
from abc import ABC, abstractmethod
class OrderRepository(ABC):
@abstractmethod
def find_by_customer(
self,
customer_id: CustomerId,
filters: OrderFilters
) -> list[Order]:
pass
# application/usecases/get_orders.py
class GetOrdersUseCase:
def __init__(self, orders: OrderRepository): # Interface, not Session
self.orders = orders
def execute(self, customer_id: str, filters: OrderFilters) -> list[Order]:
return self.orders.find_by_customer(
CustomerId(customer_id),
filters
)
# infrastructure/persistence/sqlalchemy_order_repository.py
from sqlalchemy.orm import Session, joinedload
class SqlAlchemyOrderRepository(OrderRepository):
def __init__(self, session: Session):
self.session = session
def find_by_customer(
self,
customer_id: CustomerId,
filters: OrderFilters
) -> list[Order]:
query = self.session.query(OrderEntity).options(
joinedload(OrderEntity.items)
).filter(OrderEntity.customer_id == customer_id.value)
if filters.status:
query = query.filter(OrderEntity.status == filters.status.value)
entities = query.order_by(OrderEntity.created_at.desc()).all()
return [self._to_domain(e) for e in entities]
def _to_domain(self, entity: OrderEntity) -> Order:
# Map ORM entity to domain entity
pass
```
**Benefits:**
- Use case tests don't need database or ORM setup
- Can switch ORMs without touching business logic
- Complex queries encapsulated in repository
