Carlo1911 18df2fe7b4 skill-evolution: host-agnostic skill self-improvement pipeline 
Standalone Python stdlib pipeline that reads an agent's past sessions,
compares them against installed skills, and generates structured
improvement proposals gated by an evaluation framework before anything
mutates. Host-agnostic via HostAdapter (Hermes, Claude Code).

- The most recent entry -- needed by optimize_skill.find_low_scoring_targets(), which
wants exactly this and is otherwise unaffected by pruning.
- The most recent *passing* entry -- RegressionEvaluator baselines against the last
entry with passed=True, not just the last entry. Without this anchor, a passing
baseline followed by several failing retries could have the passing entry pruned
while the failures (chronologically newer) survive, silently disabling regression
coverage for exactly the targets that most need it.
- The earliest entry -- original_size_for_target() reads it as the cumulative-drift
baseline. Without this anchor, trimming a target's oldest entries would silently
shift that baseline forward, forgiving prior drift.
Anchors are deduplicated by identity when they coincide (e.g. a target with no failures
has most-recent == last-passing).
Pruned entries are archived, not discarded: appended to get_history_archive_path()
*before* the primary file is rewritten, so a crash mid-prune loses nothing -- "still in

would not be. Only touches the archive file when something is actually dropped.

Three cases, in this order:

`body` wins when both are present, because the body is the text that actually gets

match, so a create_new proposal listing `description` before `body` had its
description scored and its body never looked at.
2. **A body or description change with an empty or missing `new_value`** -- returned as
MALFORMED_CONTENT_KIND, not silently downgraded. This is the P0-3 defect: a proposal
describing its change in prose while leaving the structured field empty used to reach
case 3, where content_kind is not "body", so the frontmatter check is skipped and
_resolve_baseline() returns no baseline -- leaving every growth, shrink, byte-floor
and cumulative check inert. A real proposal that grew an already-over-cap skill
passed the gate on a few dozen bytes of its own summary. Such a change is also
unapplicable: apply_proposal() would emit a `patch` with nothing to patch. Rejecting
is both the honest and the safe answer.
3. **No body or description change at all** -- falls back to summary+rationale, so
merge_skills and deprecate_skill (which genuinely have no such field) are scored on
something rather than skipped. This fallback is deliberately *not* a catch-all for

runs through the same evaluator registry, combines per its own strictness, and appends

``proposal:<uuid>`` for the document, ``tool_calls:<sid>``/``analyzer_prompt:<sid>`` per
