Byte-identical sync of the engine repo's launchers: a freshly downloaded
engine binary now runs only after verifying against its .sha256 sidecar.
A sidecar that cannot be fetched, or a machine with no sha256 tool,
refuses the download instead of exec'ing an unverified binary; the
wget-only path fetches the sidecar too. Binaries already on PATH or in
the cache that pass engine-probe are unaffected.

Byte-identical copies of the engine repo's launchers (engine main
af7572c): the retired 3.x npm CLI on PATH or in ~/.impeccable/bin is
rejected by the engine-probe handshake instead of hijacking every verb;
impeccable.cmd's download path is rewritten as straight-line goto flow
(the parenthesized blocks expanded %url%/%cached% at parse time, making
it dead code) with certutil sha256 verification and a windows-arm64 ->
x64 asset fallback; the final error points at the release download
instead of npm i -g (npm still serves the 3.x CLI).
ci.yml: the generated-output check no longer diffs the deleted
cli/engine/detect-antipatterns-browser.js, and a new oracle job fetches
the pinned engine (bun run fetch:engine) and replays tests/oracle/
against it. The job is continue-on-error with a loud warning until the
first engine release exists; flipping it to required is a release-time
toggle, documented in the workflow.
Verified here: sh -n on both launcher copies, bun run build green, full
oracle replay against the rebuilt engine binary green (770 pass, 0
fail), and a launcher behavior test proving a fake 3.x CLI on PATH is
skipped while the download + checksum chain completes against a local
file server.

skill/scripts keeps command-metadata.json and the page JS; every .mjs entry
point, lib/, and live/ are gone (the binary owns those verbs). Adds the POSIX
launcher, impeccable.cmd, VERSION (copied from the new root ENGINE_VERSION),
scripts/fetch-engine.mjs (bun run fetch:engine) to pull the pinned binary
into skill/scripts/bin/<os>-<arch>/, and gitignores that bin dir.
