teknium1 0bd85d314c fix(skills): keep absorbed_into in the delete shape; decide every patch shape miss pre-effect
The per-action schema made the delete branch `additionalProperties: false`
with no `absorbed_into`, so a schema-validating or grammar-constrained
backend could no longer emit the curator's consolidation delete and
`_curator_consolidation_delete_guard` fail-closed every consolidation.
Advertise `absorbed_into` on the delete branch and cover the batch path
that forwards it to the guard.

Also fold the two remaining patch shape checks (missing new_string,
content mixed with old_string/new_string) into `_op_shape_error`, so a
batch rejects them before applying any sibling instead of creating op[0]
and rolling it back. Drop the stale `edit` vocabulary from skills.md:440
and the curator prompt, and move the schema-diet test helpers above the
`__main__` guard.
