fix(proactive): off gates the office-hours handoff; the preamble and router scope the setting to unasked suggestions

The office-hours next-review handoff gated on the legacy false only, so an off user was still asked to launch /plan-eng-review. The per-skill preamble now says the setting governs unasked suggestions and this skill's own steps still run (a handoff, a review gate, a dispatched /document-release is not a suggestion), at exactly the previous length, so the 89 size pins return to main's values; the router says the same in full. Found by /ship's specialist and red-team review.
