feat(v1.5.2.0): Opus 4.7 migration — model overlay, voice, routing

Adapts GStack skill text for Claude Opus 4.7's behavioral changes per
Anthropic's migration guide and community findings.

Key changes:

model-overlays/claude.md:
  - Fan out explicitly (4.7 spawns fewer subagents by default)
  - Effort-match the step (avoid overthinking simple tasks at max)
  - Batch questions in one AskUserQuestion turn
  - Literal interpretation awareness (deliver full scope)

hosts/claude.ts:
  - coAuthorTrailer updated to Claude Opus 4.7

SKILL.md.tmpl:
  - Expanded routing triggers with colloquial variants ("wtf",
    "this doesn't work", "send it", "where was I") — 4.7 won't
    generalize from sparse trigger patterns like 4.6 did
  - Added missing routes: /context-save, /context-restore, /cso, /make-pdf
  - Changed routing fallback from strict "do NOT answer directly" to
    "when in doubt, invoke the skill" — false positives are cheaper
    than false negatives on 4.7's literal interpreter

generate-voice-directive.ts:
  - Added concrete good/bad voice example — 4.7 needs shown examples,
    not just described tone. "auth.ts:47 returns undefined..." vs
    "I've identified a potential issue..."

Regenerated all 38 SKILL.md files. All tests pass.

**Dedicated tools over Bash.** Prefer Read, Edit, Write, Glob, Grep over shell
equivalents (cat, sed, find, grep). The dedicated tools are cheaper and clearer.
**Fan out explicitly.** Opus 4.7 defaults to sequential work and spawns fewer
subagents than 4.6. When a task has independent sub-problems (investigating multiple
files, testing multiple endpoints, auditing multiple components), explicitly parallelize:
spawn subagents in the same turn, run independent checks concurrently, don't serialize
work that has no dependencies. If you catch yourself doing A then B then C where none
depend on each other, stop and do all three at once.
**Effort-match the step.** Simple file reads, config checks, command lookups, and
mechanical edits don't need deep reasoning. Complete them quickly and move on. Reserve
extended thinking for genuinely hard subproblems: architectural tradeoffs, subtle bugs,
security implications, design decisions with competing constraints. Over-thinking
simple steps wastes tokens and time.
**Batch your questions.** If you need to clarify multiple things before proceeding,
ask all of them in a single AskUserQuestion turn. Do not drip-feed one question per
turn. Three questions in one message beats three back-and-forth exchanges.
**Literal interpretation awareness.** Opus 4.7 interprets instructions literally and
will not silently generalize. When the user says "fix the tests," fix ALL failing tests,
not just the first one. When the user says "update the docs," update every relevant doc,
not just the most obvious one. Read the full scope of what was asked and deliver the
full scope. If the request is ambiguous, ask once (batched with any other questions),
then execute completely.

**Dedicated tools over Bash.** Prefer Read, Edit, Write, Glob, Grep over shell

**Fan out explicitly.** Opus 4.7 defaults to sequential work and spawns fewer
subagents than 4.6. When a task has independent sub-problems (investigating multiple
files, testing multiple endpoints, auditing multiple components), explicitly parallelize:
spawn subagents in the same turn, run independent checks concurrently, don't serialize
work that has no dependencies. If you catch yourself doing A then B then C where none
depend on each other, stop and do all three at once.
**Effort-match the step.** Simple file reads, config checks, command lookups, and
mechanical edits don't need deep reasoning. Complete them quickly and move on. Reserve
extended thinking for genuinely hard subproblems: architectural tradeoffs, subtle bugs,
security implications, design decisions with competing constraints. Over-thinking
simple steps wastes tokens and time.
**Batch your questions.** If you need to clarify multiple things before proceeding,
ask all of them in a single AskUserQuestion turn. Do not drip-feed one question per
turn. Three questions in one message beats three back-and-forth exchanges.
**Literal interpretation awareness.** Opus 4.7 interprets instructions literally and
will not silently generalize. When the user says "fix the tests," fix ALL failing tests,
not just the first one. When the user says "update the docs," update every relevant doc,
not just the most obvious one. Read the full scope of what was asked and deliver the
full scope. If the request is ambiguous, ask once (batched with any other questions),
then execute completely.
