push rules, PR standards, merge strategy, semantic versioning, release + notes,
delivery checklist, prohibited actions, and exception handling.

- Layer 1: checks all required skill files exist and skill.json is valid JSON
- Layer 2: runs 4 doctor unit tests (missing file, placeholder content,
high-stakes content, unsurfaced results) to verify the doctor tool
behaves correctly
- Layer 3: runs doctor against the live workspace
- --sample flag prints a high-stakes CURRENT_STATE.md example vs
placeholder text, explaining why content quality affects recovery
Also updates README: fix install path, add verify.sh to quickstart
and file tree, fix doctor --workspace example path.
