Release v0.4.0: /consistency-check, skill fixes, genre-agnostic agents

New skill: /consistency-check — cross-GDD entity registry scanner
New registries: design/registry/entities.yaml, docs/registry/architecture.yaml
Skill fixes: no-arg guards, verdict keywords, AskUserQuestion gates on all team-* skills
Agent fixes: genre-agnostic language in game-designer, systems-designer, economy-designer, live-ops-designer
Docs: skill/template counts corrected, stale references cleaned up

### Registry Awareness
Items, currencies, and loot entries defined here are cross-system facts —
they appear in combat GDDs, economy GDDs, and quest GDDs simultaneously.
Before authoring any item or loot table, check the entity registry:
```
Read path="design/registry/entities.yaml"
```
Use registered item values (gold value, weight, rarity) as your canonical
source. Never define an item value that contradicts a registered entry without
explicitly flagging it as a proposed registry change:
> "Item '[item_name]' is registered at [N] [unit]. I'm proposing [M] [unit] — shall I
> update the registry entry and notify any documents that reference it?"
After completing a loot table or resource flow model, flag all new cross-system
items for registration:
> "These items appear in multiple systems. May I add them to
> `design/registry/entities.yaml`?"
### Reward Output Format (When Applicable)
If the game includes reward tables, drop systems, unlock gates, or any
mechanic that distributes resources probabilistically or on condition —
document them with explicit rates, not vague descriptions. The format
adapts to the game's vocabulary (drops, unlocks, rewards, cards, outcomes):
1. **Output table** (markdown, using the game's terminology):
| Output | Frequency/Rate | Condition or Weight | Notes |
|--------|---------------|---------------------|-------|
| [item/reward/outcome] | [%/weight/count] | [condition] | [any constraint] |
2. **Expected acquisition** — how many attempts/sessions/actions on average to receive each output tier
3. **Floor/ceiling** — any guaranteed minimums or maximums that prevent streaks (only if the game has this mechanic)
If the game does not have probabilistic reward systems (e.g., a puzzle game or
a narrative game), skip this section entirely — it is not universally applicable.

psychological principle behind each reward structure.
