* feat: refine ruleset from a full-project field review
A reviewer ran ponytail across a 9-phase rewrite (protocol, PC app, simulator,
RPi daemon, ESP32 firmware) and flagged three gaps. All three land in SKILL.md
and propagate to AGENTS.md + the rule copies:
- Promote the one-runnable-check rule to a headline ("Lazy code without its
check is unfinished"), enforced as a check-rule-copies invariant.
- Hardware carve-out in "When NOT to be lazy": a real device is never the spec
ideal (clock drift, sensor offset), leave the calibration knob.
- Clarify the Output rule: explanation the user explicitly asked for is not
debt, only unrequested prose is.
Fallback instructions kept in sync. Rule-copy check + tests green.

* test: add a behavior gate proving the refinements actually fire
The refinements were verified as injected text, but injected != behavioral.
This adds a behavior eval that probes each refined rule on a task that should
trigger it:
- hardware -> does the output leave a calibration knob?
- explanation -> when a write-up is explicitly requested, is it given in full?
- onecheck -> is a runnable check left behind?
benchmarks/behavior.yaml runs the probes (baseline vs ponytail arm); the
grader benchmarks/behavior.js is proven by tests/behavior.test.js (8 cases,
RED/GREEN, no API key, runs in CI). Live-confirmed: the model under the
current ruleset passes all three gates, graded by the same grader.

Swap em dashes for commas/colons/periods in the README, skills, AGENTS.md and
its five rule copies, examples, command files, and benchmark README. Rule
copies stay in sync (same edit applied to all) and the invariant guard passes.
Left untouched on purpose: the vendored caveman SKILL.md (verbatim third-party
text), the dated benchmark writeups in results/ (historical records), and
.js code comments.

Cover the Kiro steering file in the equality check (the stripper is now shared, renamed to stripFrontmatter), and align its body with AGENTS.md: the 'Not lazy about' and 'Non-trivial logic' sentences were split into two paragraphs where the canonical body and the other four copies keep them as one. The improved check caught this on the freshly merged #6.
Also add a small invariant canary: four load-bearing rule phrases must appear verbatim in both SKILL.md (the runtime source of truth) and AGENTS.md, catching a rule that lands in one but not the other even though the two files are intentionally different lengths.
Verified: passes on main, exits 1 when a copy diverges or an invariant goes missing.
