fix(hooks): quiet recipe and legacy config diagnostics

[thewrz]

This was written agentically; verify its assertions:

Why

Hook diagnostics repeated misleading paths and warnings, creating avoidable tool churn during required recipe and config flows.

What

• Keep hook-skip refusals terse and avoid treating inert heredoc text as executed flags.
• Resolve advisory remedies through the actual skills tree and prove the emitted path exists.
• Deduplicate legacy unknown-key warnings per session with an onboarding-refresh pointer.

Decisions

Use a session-scoped private marker for warning deduplication and emit only a resolver-derived directory for stale plugin-path remedies.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change standardizes hook-skipping diagnostics, corrects plugin-path advisory guidance, and deduplicates unknown-key warnings. Regression tests cover command substitutions, heredocs, plugin resolution, and repeated configuration declarations.

Changes

Diagnostic fixes

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Standardize hook-skipping refusals agentkit/hooks/lib/guard-lib.sh, tests/test-hooks.sh	Hook-skipping refusals no longer include substitution or command context. The --no-verify denial uses the standardized message. Tests cover substitutions, recipe wrappers, and inert heredocs.
Correct plugin-path advisories agentkit/hooks/post-tool-use.sh, tests/test-hooks.sh	Advisories omit stale matched paths and report the resolved skills directory when available. Tests verify the reported directory exists.
Deduplicate unknown-key warnings agentkit/skills/.shared/scripts/repo-config.sh, tests/test-repo-config.sh	Each unknown key produces one warning per parse invocation. The warning points to onboard-refresh.sh --report. Tests verify later independent invocations report again.

to inspect parsed command words and recognized shell-interpreter payloads rather
than raw cmd text, so quoted prose is allowed while an actually executed recipe
remains denied. Add regression coverage for both quoted documentation text and
an executed --no-verify command, preserving the existing refusal behavior.
