merge: origin/main v1.0.0.0 into garrytan/fix-checkpoints

Main shipped the v1 prompts rewrite (simpler writing style + real LOC
receipts + /plan-tune observational substrate). Resolved conflicts:

- VERSION / package.json: bumped 0.18.5.0 → 1.0.1.0 (main is 1.0.0.0,
  this branch lands next).
- CHANGELOG: moved the /context-save + /context-restore entry to the
  top as v1.0.1.0, above main's v1.0.0.0. Also removed the em-dash
  variants in the new entry (ship voice rule).
- TODOS: kept both sections — Context skills (lane feature TODO) first,
  main's PACING_UPDATES_V0 + Plan Tune v2 deferrals below.
- Migration: renamed gstack-upgrade/migrations/v0.18.5.0.sh →
  v1.0.1.0.sh (matches new version). Test path updated.

preamble.ts auto-merged cleanly: main's question-tuning, explain_level,
and writing-style sections composed with my context-save/context-restore
routing rule.

All SKILL.md files regenerated via `bun run gen:skill-docs --host all`
per CLAUDE.md's "never resolve generated files by accepting either
side" rule. Golden fixtures (claude/codex/factory ship) also regenerated.

bun test: 0 failures.

These rules apply to every AskUserQuestion, every response you write to the user, and every review finding. They compose with the AskUserQuestion Format section above: Format = *how* a question is structured; Writing Style = *the prose quality of the content inside it*.
1. **Jargon gets a one-sentence gloss on first use per skill invocation.** Even if the user's own prompt already contained the term — users often paste jargon from someone else's plan. Gloss unconditionally on first use. No cross-invocation memory: a new skill fire is a new first-use opportunity. Example: "race condition (two things happen at the same time and step on each other)".
2. **Frame questions in outcome terms, not implementation terms.** Bad: "Is this endpoint idempotent?" Good: "If someone double-clicks the button, is it OK for the action to run twice?" Ask the question the user would actually want to answer.
3. **Short sentences. Concrete nouns. Active voice.** Standard advice from any good writing guide. Prefer "the cache stores the result for 60s" over "results will have been cached for a period of 60s."
4. **Close every decision with user impact.** Connect the technical call back to who's affected. "If we skip this, your users will see a 3-second spinner on every page load." Make the user's user real.
5. **User-turn override.** If the user's current message says "be terse" / "no explanations" / "brutally honest, just the answer" / similar, skip this entire Writing Style block for your next response, regardless of config. User's in-turn request wins.
6. **Glossary boundary is the curated list.** Terms below get glossed. Terms not on the list are assumed plain-English enough. If you see a term that genuinely needs glossing but isn't listed, note it (once) in your response so it can be added via PR.
