Merge origin/main (v1.57.2.0) into garrytan/upgrade-gbrain-use

Resolves VERSION/CHANGELOG/package.json (branch keeps its higher v1.57.5.0; my
CHANGELOG entry on top, main's v1.57.2.0 entry below). Regenerated SKILL.md across
hosts from the merged templates. Bumped maxSizeRatio to 1.07 for investigate, cso,
and design-consultation: the cross-cutting preamble growth (v1.57.2.0 AUQ-failure
prose fallback + the decision-memory nudge) lands them just over the strict 1.05.
