Own the knowledge-index generator + index-aware review skills (#25)
* Make domain-skill knowledge discovery index-aware

The 6 AL domain review skills and read.md now enumerate candidate articles
from the BCQuality knowledge index (knowledge-index.json) instead of opening
every file under the domain folder to read its frontmatter. The worklist
selection predicate is unchanged (keywords intersect diff tokens, or topic
matches a changed object type) - only the discovery source changes, so the
same articles are selected. Full article bodies are read only for worklisted
entries.

* Reconcile §Source wording with the lean knowledge index

The BCQuality filter now emits a lean index whose per-article description is a
one-line hint rather than the full verbatim Description. Update the six domain
skills' §Source to say the index carries a one-line description hint (keywords,
title, and a one-line description) instead of the full description. The
worklist selection predicate is unchanged: keywords drive selection and the
agent opens worklisted articles in full for their rule bodies.

* Own the knowledge-index generator in BCQuality

The knowledge index is an acceleration of the skills' Source step, and its
schema is part of that contract — so BCQuality should own the generator rather
than each consumer re-implementing it. Add tools/Build-KnowledgeIndex.ps1 (the
parser + lean-description shaping + emit, lifted verbatim from the
BCAppsBCQuality filter prototype) and document the index in agent-consumption.md.

Consumers prune their clone to policy, then call this script; the index stays
in lockstep with the Source contract and every orchestrator gets the same
faithful index for free. The worklist selection predicate is unchanged.

* Own knowledge-index generation in BCQuality (runtime + CI), not the consumer

The index is now produced by BCQuality itself: Entry's preparation step
rebuilds knowledge-index.json over the live, already-pruned clone at the start
of every run, and a new CI workflow validates the generator's health
(determinism, full coverage, selection-input integrity). Consumers no longer
invoke or know about the index.

Rebuilding over the pruned clone (vs shipping a committed full-corpus index)
keeps the index exact for any consumer policy: it can never list a denied
article, so policy-excluded rules cannot leak into discovery. READ now states
the index is discovery-only -- a finding must cite an article opened in full,
and rows whose file is absent are discarded before ranking.

- skills/entry.md: new 'Preparation -- knowledge index' precondition
- skills/read.md: index ownership + discovery-only invariant
- microsoft/skills/review/*.md (6): 'BCQuality builds' (not 'the filter emits')
- agent-consumption.md 5a: runtime+CI ownership rationale
- .github/workflows/knowledge-index.yml + scripts/Test-KnowledgeIndex.ps1: generator guard
- .gitignore: never commit the runtime index

* Make runtime index build non-interactive and self-contained

entry.md now gives the exact build command (pwsh ./tools/Build-KnowledgeIndex.ps1)
so the agent's preparation step is unambiguous, and the generator's -BCQualityRoot
parameter is optional (defaults to the clone root) so it runs in non-interactive
-p mode without prompting.

* Resolve knowledge-index root to absolute path (cross-platform fix)

Get-ChildItem.FullName is always absolute, so deriving the relative article
path via Substring(\.Length) requires an absolute root. A relative root
such as '.' (used by the CI guard's 'Test-KnowledgeIndex.ps1 -Root .') left the
full path almost intact on Linux, producing bogus 'home/runner/.../knowledge'
paths and failing the coverage check. Normalise both the generator's
-BCQualityRoot and the test's -Root with Resolve-Path before use.

287c041844 Expand review skills to match the 6-domain knowledge corpus
The knowledge corpus now covers performance, security, privacy, upgrade,
style, and UI. Previously only two leaf reviewer skills existed
(al-performance-review, al-security-review), so four of the six domains
had knowledge with no skill sourcing from them. A community reader
landing in privacy/, upgrade/, style/, or ui/ would see articles with
no apparent consumer.

Three changes:

1. Move existing review skills into `microsoft/skills/review/`. The
   `review/` subfolder groups all review-kind skills together and leaves
   room for future non-review action skills at the `microsoft/skills/`
   level. Updates references in README.md, agent-consumption.md, and
   skills/entry.md to the new paths.

2. Add four new leaf reviewer skills — al-privacy-review,
   al-upgrade-review, al-style-review, al-ui-review — each following
   the same DO template as al-performance-review/al-security-review but
   sourcing from the corresponding knowledge domain. al-upgrade-review
   and al-ui-review return `not-applicable` when the diff contains no
   upgrade surface or no page files, respectively.

3. Update al-code-review to compose all six leaf skills and retarget
   the dangling references in every populated JSON example
   (`use-setloadfields.md`, `no-plaintext-secrets-in-telemetry.md`,
   `avoid-implicit-commit.md` — none of which exist in the corpus) to
   real knowledge files: `call-setloadfields-before-filters.md`,
   `use-secrettext-for-credentials.md`, `never-hardcode-secrets-in-al.md`.

Validator passes with 0 errors / 0 warnings.

aa243a93ec Introduce the entry-point skill (skills/entry.md)
Add a new skill kind, 'entry-point', and its sole instance at
skills/entry.md. When an orchestrator points an agent at BCQuality,
the agent's first call is Entry: it receives a task context and
returns a dispatch record naming the action skill(s) to invoke.
Routing logic lives in Entry, not in the orchestrator.

Entry structurally follows DO's Source -> Relevance -> Worklist ->
Action pattern but the units it selects are action skills (not
knowledge files) and its output is a dispatch record (not a
findings-report).

Contract highlights:
- Inputs semantics in DO clarified as any-of: orchestrator supplies
  whichever listed input types it has; skill must return
  'not-applicable' if the subset is insufficient. This matches
  the existing al-* canonical skills which declare
  [pr-diff, file-path] as alternatives.
- Relevance admits candidates whose inputs intersect
  inputs-available, not whose inputs are a subset.
- Dispatched inputs are the intersection, not the full
  inputs-available set, to avoid leakage between skills.
- Super-skill precedence in Worklist supersedes a sub-skill only
  when the goal is a broader match for the super than the sub.
  When the goal specifically names a concern the sub handles
  (e.g., 'performance review'), the sub wins and the super is
  dropped with reason 'narrower-sub-skill-selected'.
- Skill layer precedence is defined here as custom > community >
  microsoft, matching READ's rule for knowledge files.
- skipped[] carries 'superseded-by' for layer-precedence,
  sub-skill, and super-skill drops, for traceability.

Propagate the concept through:
- skills/README.md: distinguish the runtime entry-point skill from
  the three meta-skill contracts.
- skills/do.md: acknowledge entry-point alongside meta-skills as
  the only kinds that live outside a layer.
- README.md: rewrite the Skills and Agent bootstrapping sections
  so the bootstrap instruction is 'invoke /skills/entry.md first'.
- agent-consumption.md: update the Mermaid flow and step narrative
  to show Entry dispatch, with READ and DO read on demand.
