Don't force init on scoped commands when PRODUCT.md is missing (#277)

* Don't force init on scoped commands when PRODUCT.md is missing

Setup step 1 told the agent: "If it reports NO_PRODUCT_MD, stop and
follow reference/init.md before doing anything else." For a project with
no PRODUCT.md, that turned every scoped request (polish, critique, audit,
layout, ...) into a full from-scratch init detour. The user asks to
polish one button and the skill instead starts writing PRODUCT.md from
the beginning. Faced with that gate, agents also frequently abandon the
command and do an ad-hoc pass without loading the command reference.

Make the gate command-aware. A missing PRODUCT.md still routes into init
for the from-scratch build flows where captured product context is the
point (init, craft, shape). For any other command, a scoped request
against existing code, the code is the context: proceed with the
requested command, infer the register from the surface in focus, and
offer /impeccable init once as a suggestion rather than a blocker.

- skill/SKILL.src.md: rewrite the step 1 NO_PRODUCT_MD rule; reconcile
  the no-argument routing rule so it leads the menu with init instead of
  silently jumping into it; extend the craft init-then-resume footnote to
  cover shape, now also a from-scratch flow.
- skill/scripts/context.mjs: soften the NO_PRODUCT_MD message to defer to
  the step 1 rule instead of "Stop the current task"; refresh the stale
  file-level JSDoc that still described the old empty-stdout signal.
- tests/skill-behavior/scenarios.test.mjs: add scenario 10 (scoped
  command + no PRODUCT.md proceeds without forcing init) and scenario 11
  (shape + no PRODUCT.md still diverts into init). Scenario 1 (craft
  diverts) stays green and pins the build path.

Source-only per repo convention; provider and plugin copies are
regenerated by the maintainer's build:skills sync.
