Ares 4a5f1234bb fix: harden registry tooling, make tests hermetic, and restore metadata consistency (#168)
* chore: upgrade maintenance scripts to robust PyYAML parsing

- Replaces fragile regex frontmatter parsing with PyYAML/yaml library
- Ensures multi-line descriptions and complex characters are handled safely
- Normalizes quoting and field ordering across all maintenance scripts
- Updates validator to strictly enforce description quality

* fix: restore and refine truncated skill descriptions

- Recovered 223+ truncated descriptions from git history (6.5.0 regression)
- Refined long descriptions into concise, complete sentences (<200 chars)
- Added missing descriptions for brainstorming and orchestration skills
- Manually fixed imagen skill description
- Resolved dangling links in competitor-alternatives skill

* chore: sync generated registry files and document fixes

- Regenerated skills index with normalized forward-slash paths
- Updated README and CATALOG to reflect restored descriptions
- Documented restoration and script improvements in CHANGELOG.md

* fix: restore missing skill and align metadata for full 955 count

- Renamed SKILL.MD to SKILL.md in andruia-skill-smith to ensure indexing
- Fixed risk level and missing section in andruia-skill-smith
- Synchronized all registry files for final 955 skill count

* chore(scripts): add cross-platform runners and hermetic test orchestration

* fix(scripts): harden utf-8 output and clone target writeability

* fix(skills): add missing date metadata for strict validation

* chore(index): sync generated metadata dates

* fix(catalog): normalize skill paths to prevent CI drift

* chore: sync generated registry files
