/**
* Skill-eval cells authored from pre-sweep contracts at PRE_SWEEP_REF
* (parent of #1433), then run against that ref and HEAD (the tree under test).
*
* Rows exist only when a prompt plus a grade can fail the claimed invariant.
* Coverage of every shipped skill is not a goal.
*
* Required-read vs body-owned gate:
* - Omit `files_read_post` when the always-loaded body still states the gate.
* Skipping the reference is allowed (the correct negative). Extra reads are not a fail.
* - Do not add `must_not_read`. Reading a procedure manual is never the defect.
* - When a reference owns a *different* path, add a complementary cell that
* requires that file. Dropping the required-read without that pair drops the
* extraction probe for that skill.
