Add audit vs cleanup phase tracking so reconciliation audits stay read-only
unless cleanup is explicitly authorized with delete capability proof, safety
proof, and before/after snapshots. Block gitea_delete_branch and merged-cleanup
execution during audit phase, validate final reports for false no-mutations
claims, and document the boundary in the reconcile-landed-pr workflow.
Already-landed PR reconciliation could prove a PR should be closed but
stop silently when gitea.pr.close was unavailable, even with comment
capability present. Adopt Option B (comment-then-stop) as the durable
policy and enforce it:
- resolve_partial_reconciliation_plan maps proven capabilities to one
of four outcomes: FULL_RECONCILE_CLOSE_ALLOWED (close_pr proven),
PARTIAL_RECONCILE_COMMENT_THEN_STOP (comment_pr proven, close_pr
missing; one reconciliation comment with PR head SHA, target branch
SHA, ancestor proof, linked issue status, and the missing capability,
then stop), RECOVERY_HANDOFF_ONLY (no comment capability; no Gitea
mutation), and GATE_NOT_PROVEN (no ancestry proof; no mutation
regardless of capability). Missing capability dicts fail closed.
- assess_partial_reconciliation_report requires final reports to
explain why the comment was or was not posted, name the missing
capability, and state the close result or that no mutation ran.
- workflows/reconcile-landed-pr.md gains section 12A documenting the
policy; the workflow contract test locks the new markers.
Tests cover close capability present, close missing with comment
allowed, comment capability missing, all capabilities missing,
unproven ancestry, fail-closed capability dict, and report checks for
each outcome.

Consolidate all four canonical workflow files and router SKILL.md:
- review-merge-pr.md (from #334 canonical prompt)
- reconcile-landed-pr.md (reconciliation gates + handoff schema)
- create-issue.md (canonical issue-creation prompt)
- work-issue.md (canonical author/coder prompt)
SKILL.md is now a short router with mode isolation and universal rules.
Adds final-report schemas for all modes and 13 doc-contract tests.
Supersedes partial split work in PR #335; full #333 acceptance in one PR.
