[codex] Add skills CLI and catalog management (#6782)

## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies through
company-scoped control-plane workflows.
> - Agents need reusable, inspectable skills that can be installed,
reset, audited, exported, and assigned without bespoke local setup.
> - The existing skill truth model needed cleanup so bundled skills,
optional catalog skills, runtime skills, and adapter-provided skills
have clear provenance.
> - Operators also need a practical CLI and board UI for discovering and
managing company skills.
> - This pull request adds the skills CLI, packaged skills catalog,
company skills APIs, and catalog-aware board UI.
> - The benefit is a more reusable Paperclip company setup where skills
are portable, auditable, and easier for operators and agents to manage.

## What Changed

- Added `paperclipai skills` CLI commands and coverage for catalog
listing, installing, resetting, and inspecting company skills.
- Added a packaged `@paperclipai/skills-catalog` workspace with bundled
and optional skill content plus validation/build tests.
- Added shared company-skill types and validators used across CLI,
server, and UI contracts.
- Added server catalog APIs/services for company skill catalog
operations, reset semantics, audit behavior, and portability provenance.
- Updated adapter skill handling so runtime/catalog provenance remains
explicit across local adapters.
- Added board UI support for browsing and managing catalog-backed
company skills.
- Updated docs for the skills CLI/catalog flow and the company skills
Paperclip skill reference.
- Rebased the branch onto current `paperclipai/paperclip:master`; no
`pnpm-lock.yaml`, `.github/workflows`, or migration files are included
in the final PR diff.

## Verification

- Passed: `pnpm run preflight:workspace-links && pnpm exec vitest run
cli/src/__tests__/skills.test.ts
packages/skills-catalog/src/catalog-builder.test.ts
packages/skills-catalog/src/shipped-catalog.test.ts
packages/shared/src/validators/company-skill.test.ts
packages/adapter-utils/src/server-utils.test.ts
packages/plugins/create-paperclip-plugin/src/entrypoints.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/company-skills-catalog-service.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/company-skills-routes.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/company-portability.test.ts`.
- Passed: `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/workspace-runtime.test.ts -t "default
branch|origin/master|symbolic-ref"`.
- Attempted: full `server/src/__tests__/workspace-runtime.test.ts`. Four
provisioning tests failed while seeding an isolated worktree database
from the local Paperclip instance because the local plugin schema dump
contains a duplicate-column foreign key
(`plugin_content_machine_18a7bc327b.content_case_signals`). The
default-branch tests touched by the rebase conflict passed in the
focused run above.
- Checked final diff: no `pnpm-lock.yaml`, no `.github/workflows`, and
no migration-file changes relative to `master`.

## Risks

- Medium: this is a broad skills/catalog change touching CLI, server
APIs, shared contracts, adapter skill sync, and UI.
- Catalog validation and reset semantics need careful reviewer attention
because they affect reusable company setup and portability.
- No database migrations are included in this PR, so there is no
migration ordering/idempotency risk in the final diff.
- No lockfile is included by design; dependency resolution will be
handled by the repository lockfile workflow.

## Model Used

- OpenAI Codex coding agent based on GPT-5, running in Paperclip via the
`codex_local` adapter with shell, git, GitHub CLI, and code-editing tool
access. Exact hosted model build/context-window metadata is not exposed
in this runtime.

## Checklist

- [x] I have included a thinking path that traces from project context
to this change
- [x] I have specified the model used (with version and capability
details)
- [x] I have checked ROADMAP.md and confirmed this PR does not duplicate
planned core work
- [x] I have run targeted tests locally and documented the local
workspace-runtime seed failure above
- [x] I have added or updated tests where applicable
- [x] If this change affects the UI, screenshots were intentionally
omitted per PAP-10124 instructions; UI behavior is covered by tests and
reviewer inspection
- [x] I have updated relevant documentation to reflect my changes
- [x] I have considered and documented any risks above
- [x] I will address all Greptile and reviewer comments before
requesting merge

## What Exists
- Company skill library: install, inspect, update, and read imported skills for the whole company.
- App-shipped catalog: a curated set of company skills in `@paperclipai/skills-catalog`, browseable and installable without leaving Paperclip.
- Company skill library: install, inspect, update, audit, reset, and read company skills for the whole company.
- Agent skill assignment: add or remove company skills on an existing agent.
- Hire/create composition: pass `desiredSkills` when creating or hiring an agent so the same assignment model applies immediately.
The canonical model is:
1. install the skill into the company
2. assign the company skill to the agent
1. add the skill to the company library — either from the app catalog (`skills install`), an external source (`skills import`), or a managed local skill (`skills create`/`skills scan-projects`)
2. attach the company skill to the agent (`skills agent sync`)
3. optionally do step 2 during hire/create with `desiredSkills`
Catalog install ≠ agent attach. Installing a catalog skill only adds the row to
`company_skills`. The agent will not use it until you sync the agent's desired
set.

If a board user, CEO, or manager is driving locally, prefer the
`paperclipai skills` CLI documented in `doc/CLI.md` — it wraps every endpoint
above, accepts company skill or catalog refs by `id`/`key`/`slug`, and prints
the same JSON these endpoints return when called with `--json`.
## Install A Skill Into The Company
Two paths cover the common cases:
1. **App-shipped catalog** (preferred when the right skill exists in the
bundled/optional catalog) — browse it first, then install with the catalog
install endpoint. No external network fetch happens.
2. **External source** (skills.sh, GitHub, local path, or URL) — use the
import endpoint below.
### App-shipped catalog
Browse, inspect, and install catalog skills before reaching for an external
source. Bundled skills are the curated defaults for any company; optional
skills are role- or domain-specific.
```sh
curl -sS "$PAPERCLIP_API_URL/api/skills/catalog?kind=bundled" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $PAPERCLIP_API_KEY"
curl -sS "$PAPERCLIP_API_URL/api/skills/catalog/ref?ref=github-pr-workflow" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $PAPERCLIP_API_KEY"
curl -sS -X POST "$PAPERCLIP_API_URL/api/companies/$PAPERCLIP_COMPANY_ID/skills/install-catalog" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $PAPERCLIP_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"catalogSkillId": "paperclipai:bundled:software-development:github-pr-workflow"
}'
```
The install response records provenance (`catalogId`, `catalogKey`,
`packageVersion`, `originHash`) on the company skill so update/audit/reset
flows know the pinned origin. `force: true` may replace a same-key
catalog-managed skill but never bypasses hard-stop audit findings.
### External source import
Import using a **skills.sh URL**, a key-style source string, a GitHub URL, or a local path.
### Source types (in order of preference)
