Update choice saves without scripts; hot keywords stop over-matching

The self-update prompt now tells an installed plugin how to save your choice, the docs say that routing off also silences self-update, and the hyphenated hot keywords no longer fire inside longer names and filenames.

Fixed

• The self-update prompt's "save the choice" step works in an installed plugin. The ask and remind directives and /coaltipple:update told the agent to run node scripts/configure.mjs --updateMode .... An installed plugin carries only commands/, hooks/ and skills/, so there is no scripts/ to run. They now tell the agent to set updateMode (auto, remind or off) directly in the global config file, ~/.claude/.coaltipple.json (the one under CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR if that is set), with its edit tool, and name configure.mjs as the equivalent in a source checkout. — test: scripts/lib/conductor-update.test.mjs
• The hyphenated hot keywords added in 1.7.3 no longer fire inside longer names. x-rate-limit-reset, Access-Control-Allow-Origin and code-audit-report.md raised the grade-4 hint, because a hyphen or a dot counts as a word boundary. The eleven forms from 1.7.3 now match only as a word of their own: nothing word-like or hyphen before, and nothing after except a sentence-ending dot. /security-review, /security-review src/auth.js, "a bug-scan." and "(sql-injection)" still fire. Costs: sql-injection-safe query builder no longer fires by its hyphenated form (the spaced "sql injection" still does); an in-name occurrence such as Access-Control-Allow-Origin no longer raises the Layer-1 sensitive flag and grades as it did in 1.7.2 (the meaning-based gate still applies); and a hyphen form written as a flag (--security-review) or followed by a dot with no space (security-review.Then) is not matched. The older hyphenated entries (timing-attack, constant-time, timing-safe, side-channel) keep the plain match on purpose. — test: scripts/lib/conductor.test.mjs, scripts/lib/grade.test.mjs

Changed

• The docs now say routing off silences self-update too. enableRouting: false, mode: "off" and disableRouting: ["all"] silence the whole conductor, self-update check included, and no update stamp is written; with routing on, updateMode: off is the update-only switch. The code already behaved this way; /coaltipple:update and the config help had said self-update was independent of routing. — test: scripts/lib/conductor-update.test.mjs

Repo tooling (user-run scripts; not in the plugin)

• grade-task.mjs now fails on an unknown option or a stray argument, with the usage line on stderr and nothing on stdout; it used to ignore them and print a grading. — test: scripts/lib/grade-task.test.mjs
• A modelTiers pin that names no model (an empty or blank name, an empty list, a blank element) is now a validation error instead of silently doing nothing. A real name or chain still validates. — test: scripts/lib/config-schema.test.mjs
• On a case-insensitive environment (Windows), a lower-case git_dir in the environment no longer reaches the git commands the scripts run; the GIT_* strip is now case-insensitive. — test: scripts/lib/git-env.test.mjs
