Replaces the shipped skill body with the validated v3 variant: judgment-first,
rigor proportional to blast radius, redundant catalog/list scaffolding removed.
~53% smaller (12,811->6,039 chars) with equal or better cross-family eval quality
and no measured regression. Description (929 chars) and all safety rules retained.

* skill-validator: restore 15K aggregate cap, document it as the real Copilot CLI skill-menu budget
The per-plugin aggregate description cap had been raised 15,000 -> 20,000
-> 22,000 under the belief that 15K was 'a local repo policy, NOT a
documented Copilot constraint'. That belief was wrong: the GitHub Copilot
CLI renders the model-facing <available_skills> menu under a hard 15,000-
char budget (the agent SDK's SKILL_CHAR_BUDGET, default 15e3, confirmed in
CLI 1.0.36 and 1.0.61). Skills are listed alphabetically and emitted with
their full <description> only until the budget is exhausted; every skill
past the cut-off collapses to a bare name with no description and can no
longer be reliably model-activated. Raising the validator cap merely
masked this silent menu truncation — e.g. dotnet-test's run-tests and
test-* skills stopped activating in plugin eval runs because they fell
into the name-only overflow.
Changes:
- SkillProfiler.MaxAggregateDescriptionLength: 22,000 -> 15,000, with the
comment rewritten to document the real Copilot CLI budget (and correct
the prior 'not a documented constraint' claim).
- CheckCommand aggregate now excludes skills marked
'disable-model-invocation: true' — the CLI drops those from the menu, so
they do not consume the budget. This makes the cap satisfiable by hiding
reference / agent-orchestrated primitives rather than only by trimming.
- InvestigatingResults.md: document plugin-arm-only non-activation caused
by skill-menu budget overflow, and how to fix it.
Note: dotnet-test currently exceeds 15K and must be slimmed below it
(via disable-model-invocation on reference/primitive skills plus
description trims) before this cap can go green repo-wide.
