refactor(skill): replace SKILL_ROOT resolver with SKILL_DIR substitution

The Step 1 and comparison-mode resolver loops walked a hardcoded list
of install paths trying to find scripts/last30days.py. Two problems:

1. The list was never exhaustive — it covered ~/.codex/skills, but not
   ~/.claude/skills, ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.copilot/skills,
   ~/.hermes/skills/research, etc. PR #406 was about to fix that by
   enumerating more paths, but enumeration is the wrong shape.
2. The resolver could pick a different install than the SKILL.md the
   model loaded from. Spec-vs-engine divergence is subtle and confusing
   when it triggers.

The model already knows the SKILL.md path it loaded (from its Read tool
result). Templating that into the bash block is strictly better than
guessing across an enumerated list:

- Works for every harness without enumeration (Hermes, Cursor, anything
  new) because we just use wherever the harness loaded SKILL.md from
- Aligns spec with engine — the engine runs from the same install the
  spec was read from
- Deletes ~80 lines of bash across Step 1 + comparison-mode + the
  prose preamble describing the resolver

Mechanics:

- SKILL_DIR placeholder in both bash blocks — model substitutes the
  absolute path of the directory containing the SKILL.md it just Read
- One-line validation `[ ! -f "$SKILL_DIR/scripts/last30days.py" ]`
  catches bad templating with a clear error
- All references to $SKILL_ROOT replaced with $SKILL_DIR (badge
  VERSION lookup, prose description in the LAW-7 preamble area)
- STEP 0 unchanged — different concern (marketplaces stale-clone hop)

Version 3.2.3 -> 3.2.4 (behavior change: install paths the resolver
list never enumerated now work; install paths it did enumerate work
the same way they used to but via the SKILL_DIR template).
