fix(skills): require background-review forks to read before writing skills (#55647)

[hashbender]

Summary

The per-session background-review fork can no longer patch a skill it never read. skill_manage(patch/edit/write_file/remove_file) now refuses to mutate a skill during a background-review turn unless that exact file was loaded via skill_view first — closing the silent skill-corruption path in NousResearch#55647 where a single review pass shrank an 807-line module to a 186-line stub.

Salvage of NousResearch#55657 by @kyssta-exe, cherry-picked onto current main with authorship preserved.

Changes

• tools/skill_manager_tool.py: per-fork ContextVar records which skill files the review fork has read; _background_review_read_before_write_guard() refuses patch/edit/write_file/remove_file on a skill (or support file) not loaded this turn. Gated on is_background_review() — zero effect on normal sessions.
• tools/skills_tool.py: skill_view marks the loaded file as read so a subsequent targeted patch is allowed.
• agent/background_review.py: reset the read-marks when the review fork tears down.
• tests/tools/test_skill_manager_tool.py: read-before-write blocked, then allowed after skill_view; support-file overwrite requires reading that specific file.
• scripts/release.py: AUTHOR_MAP entry for the salvaged commit's noreply email.

Note on the issue's premise

Root cause #1 (no read-before-write invariant) is confirmed and is what this PR fixes. Root cause #2 (the fork inherits the full parent toolset) does not hold on current main — agent/background_review.py already builds a runtime tool whitelist from ["memory", "skills"] via set_thread_tool_whitelist(...), so the fork cannot call terminal/patch/execute_code. The bug survived that whitelist only because skill_view is whitelisted yet was never required before skill_manage. This PR adds that requirement.

Validation

	Before	After
Bg-review patch on unread skill	lands silently, can delete most of the file	refused with _read_before_write_required
Bg-review patch after skill_view	lands	lands (unchanged)
Normal (non-review) session	unaffected	unaffected

• tests/tools/test_skill_manager_tool.py: 107 passed.
• E2E (real imports, temp HERMES_HOME, 2912-char SKILL.md): unread patch blocked with the flag → skill_view → patch allowed. PASS.

Closes NousResearch#55647.
