fix(ship): name the /document-release subagent at every Step 18 decision point

The v1.54.0.0 carve moved Step 18 (documentation sync) into
ship/sections/pr-body.md and the Claude-host skeleton stopped saying
"document-release" anywhere in the workflow body — the dispatch became
invisible at exactly the moments an agent decides whether to open the
section. Restore visibility at three touchpoints, all subagent-framed
(never bare-slash-framed, which would invite an inline Skill invocation
that bypasses the fresh-context subagent + JSON contract):

- manifest trigger (renders into the section-index row AND the STOP
  pointer): "dispatching the /document-release subagent to sync docs
  (Step 18) and then creating or updating the PR/MR (Step 19)"
- Step 17 handoff line names Step 18's dispatch explicitly
- new hoisted doc-sync invariant beside the PR-title invariant: the
  dispatch itself is never skipped; only a failed subagent is
  non-blocking

Pin it in carve-guards: 'the /document-release subagent' (all three
touchpoints) + 'dispatches the /document-release subagent' (invariant)
must stay in the skeleton; the carved imperative 'Dispatch
/document-release as a subagent' must stay carved. Skeleton cap
91,600 → 92,300 (measured 91,764; trigger renders twice). Goldens
regenerated for all three hosts.
