Release 1.1.0 — one config file, and a process weight you choose

`project.yaml` at the repo root is now the single source of truth for a
project's configuration, replacing `production/stage.txt`,
`production/review-mode.txt` and `.claude/docs/technical-preferences.md` (all
three still read as a fallback; nothing is force-deleted).

**`modes.rigor` — one question instead of six.** `minimal`, `standard` or
`full` fronts six knobs: `modes.workflow`, `docs.density`, `qa.level`,
`modes.story_granularity`, `modes.review_mode` and `team.size`. It defaults to
`minimal`, which is a change from 1.0's behaviour: the heavier tier was
measured costing several times more to reach working code without producing a
better result, and returning nothing when a fresh developer inherited the
project. Pin `modes.rigor: standard` to keep 1.0's process level.

Also in this release:

- `/settings` to view or change any setting, and `project.local.yaml` for
  per-developer preferences that should not be committed.
- `system_overrides` to hold one system to a higher standard than the rest of
  the project, and `testing.strict` to set per test type whether missing
  evidence blocks a story or warns.
- A story that changes anything the player sees is not closed until the game
  has been launched, observed, and a screenshot retained in
  `production/qa/evidence/`. A parse check is not a run. This holds at every
  rigor level, including `minimal`, where automated tests are waived but the
  look is not.
- The code root is engine-specific and enforced as such: Godot `src/`, Unity
  `Assets/`, Unreal `Source/<Module>/`. Two of the three will not build a
  project laid out any other way.
- Migration tooling for existing projects: `.claude/scripts/migrate-v1-config.sh`
  converts a 1.0 layout, non-destructively by default, with a report to review
  before `--finalize` deletes anything.
- Ask-before-write holds regardless of personal automation settings.

+## Insufficient input — check this before producing any report
+
+**If the inputs this skill needs do not exist, the answer is "could not run" —
+not a filled-in report.** Check first, and stop if the check fails.
+
+1. List the inputs this skill reads (data files, prior reports, profiler output,
+   test results, registries, source code).
+2. For each, record `FOUND` or `ABSENT` — not "assumed present".
+3. If any input required for a section is ABSENT, that section is
+   **`NOT ASSESSED — NO DATA`**. Do not estimate it, do not infer it from an
+   adjacent artifact, and do not leave a mandated cell to be filled by whoever
+   reads the template next.
+4. If **every** required input is ABSENT, stop and report
+   **`NOT ASSESSED — NO DATA`** as the whole verdict, naming what was missing and
+   which skill produces it.
+
+**A verdict of `NOT ASSESSED` is a success.** It is the correct, useful answer to
+"what does the data say?" when there is no data. The failure mode this prevents is
+specific and has been observed in practice: report templates whose verdict
+enum had no "could not run" state produced **false clean passes** — an asset audit
+returning COMPLIANT on a project with no assets and no standards, and a
+performance profile reporting ">99% headroom against a 16.67ms budget" with zero
+profiler data and no budget ever set.
+
+**Absence of evidence is never evidence of absence.** A scan that finds no
+matches because there are no files to scan has not verified anything. Say which of
+the two happened — a reader cannot tell from a green result.

 ## Phase 1: Parse Arguments
 
 Determine whether this is a sprint retrospective (`sprint-N`) or a milestone retrospective (`milestone-name`).
