v0.4.9 — CLI config, paths editor, doctor, and grouped help

Added

• Config — Persistent YAML configuration (global config.yaml and project .skillware.yaml); paths section drives skill root discovery when present; bundled registry always included (#246, #283).
• CLI — skillware config show prints merged configuration (read-only); skillware paths tips updated for config files (#246, #283).
• CLI — Interactive paths submenu (menu 4) — view bundled registry, persist project/external paths to .skillware.yaml, shadowing and flat-layout diagnose; tiered help topics (menu 6); universal navigation (0 exit, b back); doctor spinner while diagnosing (#247, #285).
• Loader — SkillLoader.load_skill(..., execute_module=False) inspect-only load (manifest, instructions, card, requirement pre-flight) without executing skill.py; clearer ImportError when skill.py import fails after pre-flight (#235, #282).
• CLI — skillware doctor checks manifest deps and skill.py import readiness per skill (DEPS / LOAD table); optional skill ID, --category, and --skills-root (#235, #282).

Changed

• CLI — skillware examples table — wider EXTRA column; GITHUB shows script filename as a clickable link (full URL on ctrl+click) (#247, #285).
• CLI — Interactive menu option 6 description reflects grouped help topics (#247, #285).
• Loader — Skill-not-found errors list searched roots with tier labels (project, external, bundled) (#247, #285).
• Loader — SkillLoader.load_skill() validates manifest requirements version specifiers (for example web3>=6.0.0) against installed package versions before loading skill.py; unpinned entries still require importability only (#14, #281).
• GitHub — New Skill Proposal template category dropdown synced with the registry (creative, security); added creative label (#279, #277).

Upgrade
