Paul BakausandClaude Opus 4.7 d32cd832fb skill: drop unvalidated anti-centering rule; add image-led hero carve-out
The anti-centering rule ("Don't default to centering everything") was
added without empirical support. We have a detector for it
(everything-centered, threshold ≥70%) that fires on 0 / 998 samples
in the corpus — never validated, never useful.

Meanwhile the rule was almost certainly responsible for collapsing
Gemini 3.5 flash's luxury-hotel skill-on output from the canonical
"full-bleed photo + centered overlay headline" cinematic hero (the
shape skill-off Gemini chooses 67% of the time) to a 50/50
magazine grid (full-bleed rate drops to 18% under skill-on, -49pp).

Changes:
- skill/SKILL.md #### Layout: drop "Don't default to centering..."
- skill/reference/brand.md ## Layout: drop the same rule; replace
  with a positive carve-out — image-led briefs (hotels, restaurants,
  magazines, photography) often want full-bleed hero with overlaid
  menu and centered headline; let the photograph be the design
- skill/reference/layout.md: drop the assessment question and the
  "asymmetric breaks centered-content pattern" framing
