feat(skills): reviewer patch contract, active learning bias, shallow-turn accumulation

Browse Source 
Self-learning reviewer edits existing skills via targeted patches: it quotes the exact live text (or appends a section) and the service composes the full body inside the receipt-pinned read that hash-binds the proposal — untouched content survives by construction, and patches auto-apply through the scanner-gated pipeline. Full-body rewrites and oversized-skill edits stay pending for the operator. The review prompt shifts to active capture within the existing evidence gates, and shallow same-sender turns accumulate per session (provider-identity scoped, zero-iteration and duplicate-run contracts honored, aborted provenance carried, bounded state) so quick corrections get reviewed with their own transcripts. Replaces closed #119856.

A later foreground completion in the same session restarts the quiet period.
Only one experience review runs at a time. The foreground answer is never delayed.
The reviewer is isolated and conservative. It sees a bounded workspace skill
list and can list or inspect proposals. It drafts at most one pending proposal:
preferring to revise a matching pending proposal, then to propose an update to
the existing skill governing the work, and creating a new skill only when
nothing covers the class. Its one-mutation budget is shared across retries.
Every mutation is a pending proposal — it never writes a live skill directly and
cannot apply, reject, quarantine, message, or use general agent tools. Because
the reviewer drafts update bodies without reading the live skill, update
proposals are never auto-applied: they stay pending for operator review even in
`auto` mode. The reviewed trajectory is evidence, not instructions.
The reviewer is isolated and biased toward small, well-evidenced captures. It
sees a bounded workspace skill list, can list or inspect proposals, and can read
a bounded excerpt of a writable skill for context. It drafts at most one pending
proposal: preferring to revise a matching pending proposal, then to patch the
existing skill governing the work, and creating a new skill only when nothing
covers the class. A patch proposal quotes the exact live text to change (or
appends a new section) and the tool composes the full body inside the same read
that hash-binds the proposal, so untouched content survives by construction and
patches auto-apply in `auto` mode. A patch requires a full-skill read receipt:
skills beyond the bounded read budget cannot be patched autonomously. A full-body update rewrite always stays
pending for operator review. Its one-mutation budget is shared across retries. Every
mutation is a pending proposal — it never writes a live skill directly and
cannot apply, reject, quarantine, message, or use general agent tools. The

A deep-turn review receives only the current turn beginning with its most

receives the bounded message window of those same-sender turns (at most 40
