gitadmin 91e643553e feat(pkm): add compiled wiki layer, packet promotion, and retrieval checks to research skills
- Add compiled wiki maintenance, retrieval lint, and packet promotion
  steps to knowledge-gardener skill
- Restructure research-vault workflow with source ingest, answer filing,
  and pre-completion lint pass
- Add Log.md for tracking ingest, queries, and corrections
- Enhance Claims template with provenance, supports/contradicts, and
  confidence tracking
- Add Compiled Pages table and Raw Source Rules to packet template
- Enhance atomic notes with frontmatter, promotion status, and
  structured links
- Distinguish source claims, synthesis, user opinions, and open
  questions throughout

This implements a Karpathy-style compiled wiki approach where raw
sources stay immutable, packet notes are the maintained synthesis
layer, and reusable notes can be promoted to the main vault.

## Raw Source Rules
- Preserve raw source files as immutable evidence.
- Add interpretation in packet notes, not inside the source file.

Include source links, books, papers, docs, videos, examples, search terms, or relevant vault notes only when they improve learning or evidence quality.
