feat!: replace per-skill module metadata with a bmod module record

[bmadcode]

What

Converts CIS to the bmod layout that BMAD-METHOD merged in bmad-code-org/BMAD-METHOD#2916.

• skills/bmod-cis/ is the module's record: bmod.toml, a stub SKILL.md, help/help.md with three topic files, and roster.toml.
• Each of the ten skills carries a bmod.toml with a [skill] table.
• Removed: root bmad-meta/, its 26 per-skill copies, ten module-manifest.toml files, tools/sync_knowledge.py.

Help

help.md leads with the six agents, then the four sessions with what each works through and writes. Topic files cover getting a good session, techniques, and changing a session or persona. The help no longer points at the documentation site, which is wrong about configuration and commands.

Skill changes

• bmad-brainstorming is recommended by the module and is on the menus of Maya, Dr. Quinn and Victor as well as Carson. Carson no longer requires it.
• Caravaggio: the Excalidraw wording is gone and the menu goes from seven prompts to four (PL plan, CR critique, EX video explainer, VM visual).
• Storytelling offers all 25 frameworks in its library instead of a fixed ten, and reads the key_questions column the file actually has.
• Session documents are named <stem>-{topic_slug}-{date}.md, and a session never overwrites an earlier one.
• Sessions read a document the user names instead of a "data attribute". The storytelling "sidecar memory" line is removed.
• Agents hand off to the bmad skill instead of bmad-help.

Tooling

• tools/stamp_release.py stamps the [bmod] version and checks every bmod.toml, the record folder, the help topics and the roster. npm test runs it with --check.
• The CI bmod job also checks out BMAD-METHOD dev and runs its tools/validate_manifests.py --project-root ., so this repo carries no copy of the runtime's checks.
• tools/release.md and the README are updated.

Breaking

• Installs need bmod-cis and bmad 6.13.0.
• Caravaggio's menu codes SD, PD, CT, IN, CV are removed. An override keyed to one of them now adds an item.
• Session output file names include the topic.

Verified

• npm test, and BMAD-METHOD's validator against this tree.
• Scratch project with BMM and CIS skills side by side: bmad setup cis and status, help lists the CIS document and topics, party mode shows all agents and the creative-studio and midnight-salon groups, an absent agent keeps its seat with its install command, a missing bmod-cis makes status name the install command.
• The stamper on scratch copies: stamp changes only the version line, CRLF and trailing comments survive, a member missing from the record, an unnamed topic file and a version in another table are handled.

Not in this PR

The docs/ site rewrite, the changelog entry (written at release), and the 1.0 agent rework.
