Teknium 38d3c49aaf refactor(skills): clean up bundled skill set + add environments: relevance gate (#39028) 
* refactor(skills): clean up bundled skill set + add environments: relevance gate

Bundled skills cleanup pass plus a new offer-time relevance gate.

Removals (redundant / dead):
- spotify (covered by the spotify plugin's 7 native tools)
- linear (covered by `hermes mcp install linear`)
- kanban-codex-lane, debugging-hermes-tui-commands
- empty category markers: diagramming, gifs, inference-sh,
  mlops/training, mlops/vector-databases
- domain (stale orphan dup of optional/research/domain-intel)

Bundled -> optional:
- baoyu-article-illustrator, baoyu-comic, creative-ideation, pixel-art
- dspy, subagent-driven-development
- minecraft-modpack-server, pokemon-player
- hermes-s6-container-supervision (-> optional/devops)

Consolidation:
- webhook-subscriptions + native-mcp folded into the hermes-agent skill
  as references/webhooks.md + references/native-mcp.md with SKILL.md pointers
- writing-plans merged into plan (v2.0.0); related_skills + prose refs updated

New: environments: frontmatter gate (agent/skill_utils.skill_matches_environment)
- Offer-time relevance filter (kanban / docker / s6), parallel to platforms:.
- Wired into the 3 OFFER surfaces only (prompt_builder skills index,
  skills_tool.list_skills, skill_commands slash discovery).
- Explicit loads (skill_view, --skills preload) intentionally BYPASS it, so
  load-bearing force-loads like the kanban dispatcher's `--skills kanban-worker`
  always resolve. Verified via E2E.
- kanban-orchestrator/kanban-worker tagged environments: [kanban];
  hermes-s6-container-supervision tagged environments: [s6] + platforms: [linux].

Validation: 8/8 E2E gating assertions (incl force-load invariant);
442 targeted tests green (agent, skills_tool, skill_commands, kanban worker).

* docs: regenerate skill catalogs + pages for the bundled cleanup

Regenerated per-skill doc pages, catalogs, and sidebar to match the skill
moves/removals in the parent commit. Moved skills' pages relocate
bundled -> optional (history preserved); removed skills' pages deleted;
edited skills' pages refreshed (hermes-agent now embeds the webhook +
native-mcp reference pointers). zh-Hans i18n mirror: stale bundled pages
and catalog rows for moved/removed skills pruned (new optional translations
land via the translation pipeline).

* test: drop regression test for removed kanban-codex-lane skill

The kanban-codex-lane skill was removed in the bundled-skills cleanup;
its dedicated regression test read the now-deleted SKILL.md and failed
with FileNotFoundError on CI shard 6.

## Palette Gallery
Palettes override a style's default colors. Combine any style with any palette (e.g. `style=vector-illustration, palette=macaron`).
| Palette | Description | Best For |
|---------|-------------|----------|
| `macaron` | Soft pastel blocks (blue, mint, lavender, peach) on warm cream | Educational, knowledge, tutorials |
| `warm` | Warm earth tones (orange, terracotta, gold) on soft peach, no cool colors | Brand, product, lifestyle |

Full specifications: `references/palettes/<palette>.md`
When no palette is specified, the style's built-in Color Palette is used.
## Palette Override Rules
1. Read style file → rendering rules (Visual Elements, Style Rules)
2. Read palette file → Colors + Background
3. Palette colors **replace** style's default Color Palette
4. Palette Background **replaces** style's default Background color
5. Style's texture description is preserved
