fix(cli): stop skills update deleting skills the manifest never covered (#3118)

`hyperframes skills update` deleted skills that the same command had just
installed, from every agent directory on the machine, and reported them as
"no longer published".

`skills add --skill '*'` installs every skill in the repo — including the
repo-native ones under `.claude/skills/` and `.agents/skills/` — and the
upstream lock attributes all of them to `heygen-com/hyperframes`. The published
manifest is generated from `<repoRoot>/skills` only (gen-skills-manifest.ts), so
it never lists those. detectRemoved read that silence as "removed upstream" and
pruned them, so `check || update` could not converge: `add` reinstalled them and
the next `update` deleted them again.

Scope removed-detection to skills the manifest is actually authoritative for,
using the lock's `skillPath` — the only field that separates a skill installed
from `skills/` from one installed out of the same repo's other skill roots
(`source` is identical for both). An entry with no `skillPath` is treated as not
covered: this is a delete path, so unknown provenance fails safe.

Also resolve the prune's manifest canonically. Its notion of "still published"
could otherwise come from any `skills-manifest.json` within 16 parent
directories of cwd, which — since HyperFrames' own manifest declares
`source: heygen-com/hyperframes` — matches lock attribution and drives deletion.
The install-side check already did this (#2176); the deleting path did not, and
the comment claiming that was deliberate and "tested separately" had no such
test. An explicit `--source` still wins.

Verified end to end against the real CLI in a sandboxed HOME. Before: `add`
installed 25 skills, `update` printed "Removing 6 skill(s) no longer published:
captions-overlay, changelog-video, cut-the-curve, motion-doctrine,
oversized-cursor, seam-craft" and deleted all six (27 dirs -> 21). After: no
removal line, 27 -> 27. Both new regression tests fail on the pre-fix source.

Fixes #3111
