Garry Tan 1bd501896f test(context-skills): fix routing-path tests after first live-fire run
First paid run of the 8 tests (commit bdcf2504) surfaced 3 genuine
failures all rooted in two mechanical problems:

1. Over-instructed prompts bypassed the Skill tool.
   When the prompt said "Use GSTACK_HOME=X and the bin scripts at
   ./bin/ to save my state", the agent interpreted that as step-by-step
   bash instructions and executed Bash+Write directly — never invoking
   the Skill tool. skillCalls(result).includes("context-save") was
   always false, so routing assertions failed. The whole point of the
   routing test was exactly to prove the Skill tool got called, so
   this was invalidating the test.

   Fix: minimal slash-command prompts ("/context-save wintermute
   progress", "/context-restore", "/context-save list"). Environment
   setup moved to the runSkillTest env: param added in 5f316e0e.

2. Assertions were too strict on paraphrased agent output.
   legacy-compat required the exact string OLD_CHECKPOINT_SKILL_LEGACYCOMPAT
   in output — but the agent loaded the file, summarized it, and the
   summary didn't include that marker verbatim. Similarly,
   list-all-branches required 3 branch names in prose, but the agent
   renders /context-save list as a table where filenames are the
   reliable token and branch names may not appear.

   Fix: relax assertions to accept multiple forms of evidence.
   - legacy-compat: OR of (verbatim marker | title phrase | filename
     prefix | branch name | "pre-rename" token) — any one is proof.
   - list-all-branches + list-current-branch: check filename timestamp
     prefixes (20260101-, 20260202-, 20260303-) which are unique and
     unambiguous, instead of prose branch names.

Also bumped round-trip test: maxTurns 20→25, timeout 180s→240s. The
two-step flow (save then restore) needs headroom — one attempt timed
out mid-restore on the prior run, passed on retry.

Relaunched: PID 34131. Monitor armed. Will report whether the 3
previously-failing tests now pass.

First run results (pre-fix):
  5/8 final pass (with retries)
  3 failures: context-save-routing, legacy-compat, list-all-branches
  Total cost: $3.69, 984s wall

/**
* Tier-1 live-fire E2E for /context-save and /context-restore.
*
* These spawn `claude -p "/context-save ..."` with the Skill tool enabled
* and the skill installed in the workdir's .claude/skills/. Unlike the
* older hand-fed-section tests, these exercise the ROUTING path — the
* exact thing that broke with the /checkpoint name collision and the
* whole reason this rename exists. If /context-save stops routing to
* the skill (e.g., upstream ships a built-in by that name), these fail.
*
* Periodic tier. ~$0.20-$0.40 per test, ~$2 total per run.

## Skill routing
When the user's request matches an available skill, ALWAYS invoke it using the Skill
tool as your FIRST action. Do NOT answer directly, do NOT use other tools first.
Key routing rules:
- Save progress, save state, save my work → invoke context-save
- Resume, where was I, pick up where I left off → invoke context-restore
Environment:
- Use GSTACK_HOME="${gstackHome}" for all gstack bin scripts.
- The bin scripts are at ./bin/ (relative to this directory).
- The skill files are at ./.claude/skills/context-save/SKILL.md and
./.claude/skills/context-restore/SKILL.md.
