JamesandClaude Opus 4.7 21243b6957 docs: lead with shape contrast for variable attributes
Follow-up on the PR #603 review. The previous fix named both attributes
but didn't make their distinct shapes / roles obvious; a reader could
still wonder "are these two views of the same data?". Now the doc
opens with the shape contrast (array of declarations vs object of
values) and the section closes with a numbered precedence layering so
the merge order is unambiguous.

- compositions.md: replaced the bullet list with a shape-first
  description ("JSON array of declarations" vs "JSON object keyed by
  variable id"), an explicit "they aren't redundant" line, and a
  numbered list of the three precedence layers (declared default →
  host data-variable-values → CLI --variables).
- skills/hyperframes-cli/SKILL.md: highlighted the same shape contrast
  inside the parametrized-renders paragraph (declarations array vs
  values object).
