fix(curator): protect load-bearing built-in skills from archival/consolidation (#41817)

The curator's idle-archival path (apply_automatic_transitions under
prune_builtins) could archive the bundled `plan` skill, killing the
/plan slash command silently — typing /plan then returned 'Unknown
command' with no signal that a skill had vanished. The archived skill's
hash stays in .bundled_manifest, so 'hermes update' wouldn't re-seed it.

Add PROTECTED_BUILTIN_SKILLS ({plan}) enforced at the master gate
is_curation_eligible() (covers archive_skill + the transition walk) and
in the candidate enumerator (so the LLM consolidation pass never sees
them). Immune to prune_builtins, pin state, and LLM judgment.
