feat: proactive skill suggestions + opt-out + trigger phrase tests

- Preamble reads proactive config via gstack-config
- Root SKILL.md.tmpl has lifecycle map (stage → skill suggestion)
- Users can opt out ("stop suggesting") / opt in ("be proactive again")
- Restored trigger phrase validation tests (16 skills × "Use when" check)
- Added missing "Use when" trigger phrases to /debug and /office-hours
