skill v4.0.0-alpha.9: daily-driver core + mandatory new-work playbook

Architecture per Paul: impeccable is primarily a daily driver on
existing codebases; the always-loaded core should serve that 90% path,
not carry the full generative arsenal on every invocation. SKILL.md now
holds brief-wins, existing-worlds (the headline path), the four visitor
modes, the full craft floor, and a hard gate: new identity work
(greenfield, or a redesign discarding the current look) MUST read
reference/new-work.md before any design decision. That file carries the
generative playbook (seed, subject grounding, plan/self-check/signature,
hero-thesis, everything-bold, prove-don't-claim, color commitment,
calibration, persuade type/imagery). context.mjs enforces the gate
mechanically: NEW_WORK directive when no PRODUCT.md/DESIGN.md exists,
and the old mandatory register-file read is replaced by a REGISTER
family hint. No surfaces: map anywhere; mode is derived per task.
Gate compliance is measurable via skillEvidence.directSkillFileReads.
