Rename PyAutoBuild to PyAutoHands#167

Rename the Hands organ's repository branding from PyAutoBuild to PyAutoHands, the first of a phased rollout that preserves all functionality. Documentation now consistently frames the repo as "PyAutoHands executes work on behalf of PyAutoBrain" — the Brain decides, the Hands do. Scope (repo/brand only): the proper-noun brand in README, AGENTS.md, CONTRIBUTING.md, docs/internals.md and the pre_build skill becomes PyAutoHands. Every functional token is deliberately left untouched so nothing breaks: - the `autobuild` CLI and Python package keep their names (mirrors autoconf, autofit, autolens — package names are decoupled from organ names); - `PyAutoLabs/PyAutoBuild` slug URLs, on-disk `PyAutoBuild/autobuild` paths, and `PyAutoBuild#NNN` issue links stay (they track the still-unrenamed slug, updated at the GitHub rename in a later phase); - the "Build" organ shorthand and the canonical `Brain → Heart → Build` call chain stay verbatim (updated at their source, PyAutoBrain/ORGANISM.md, in the cross-repo phase). Dated design/audit docs under docs/ (deliverables for closed issues) are left as historical records. Adds MIGRATION.md documenting the rename, the phased rollout, and the backwards-compatibility guarantees.

Follows the GitHub repo rename PyAutoBuild → PyAutoHands. Updates this repo's own slug and on-disk-directory references now that the repo (and a fresh clone's sibling directory) is PyAutoHands: - release.yml / navigator_check.yml: self-checkout `path: PyAutoHands`, `repository: PyAutoLabs/PyAutoHands`, and `PyAutoHands/autobuild/...` script paths + PYTHONPATH (the `autobuild` package segment is unchanged). - pre_build.sh, skills/pre_build, docs/internals.md: `--repo PyAutoLabs/PyAutoHands`, `$PYAUTOBASE/PyAutoHands/autobuild`, alias paths. - autobuild/*.py: the "AUTO-GENERATED by PyAutoHands" banner, generate.py's config path, create_analysis_issue default slug, doc-path examples. - tests: path-string assertions. Deliberately unchanged: the `autobuild` package/CLI names; `PyAutoBuild#NNN` issue links (GitHub redirects them); the "Formerly PyAutoBuild" notes in README/AGENTS/CONTRIBUTING and MIGRATION.md; the dated design docs under docs/ (historical records). `bin/autobuild help` and py-compile verified.

The catalogue-generation fallback config path was hardcoded to the sibling build-repo directory name (PyAutoHands/autobuild/config). When a downstream navigator_check runs the reusable workflow from PyAutoHands@main (pre-merge) it still checks the build repo out into a PyAutoBuild/ directory, so the branch- matched generate.py could not find its config and the legacy HowTo catalogues failed to regenerate (FileNotFoundError). Resolving the config dir relative to generate.py's own location (it lives beside it at autobuild/config/) makes it work regardless of the checkout directory name, removing the merge-order coupling. The 6 main workspaces are unaffected (they own their config/build/). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Renames the Hands organ's repository PyAutoBuild → PyAutoHands, preserving all functionality. This is the renamed repo itself: in-repo rebrand (README/AGENTS/CONTRIBUTING/docs/skills), a new
MIGRATION.md, and its own internal slug/path references (release.yml,navigator_check.yml,pre_build.sh,bin/autobuild,autobuild/*.py) updated toPyAutoHands/....Docs now consistently frame the repo as "PyAutoHands executes work on behalf of PyAutoBrain."
Preserved (backwards-compatible): the
autobuildpackage + CLI names (only the repo/dir/brand changed);PyAutoBuild#NNNissue links (GitHub redirects them); theBrain → Heart → Buildcall-chain wording / "Build" shorthand.Validation:
bin/autobuild helpruns; all changed.pycompile; dated design docs underdocs/left as historical records.Merge order: land this repo first, then the source/generated organ repos (PyAutoMind, PyAutoBrain, PyAutoHeart, PyAutoConf, PyAutoGut, PyAutoScientist), then the workspaces/HowTo — so downstream
uses:/PYTHONPATH references resolve against a merged main.See
