test: apply ship review-army findings — helper extract, slice SKILL.md, defensive judge

Five categories of fixes surfaced by the /ship pre-landing reviews
(testing + maintainability + security + performance + adversarial Claude),
applied as one review-iteration commit.

Refactor — collapse 5x duplicated judge-assertion block:
- Add assertRecommendationQuality() + RECOMMENDATION_SUBSTANCE_THRESHOLD
  constant to test/helpers/e2e-helpers.ts.
- Plan-format (4 cases) and Phase 4 (1 case) collapse from ~22 lines each
  to a single helper call. Future rubric tweaks land in one place instead
  of five.

Performance — extract Phase 4 slice instead of copying full SKILL.md:
- Phase 4 test fixture now reads office-hours/SKILL.md and writes only the
  AskUserQuestion Format section + Phase 4 section to the tmpdir, per
  CLAUDE.md "extract, don't copy" rule. Verified locally: cost dropped
  from $0.51 → $0.36/run, turn count 8 → 4, latency 50s → 36s. Reduces
  Opus context bloat without weakening the regression check.
- Add `if (!workDir) return` guard to Phase 4 afterAll cleanup so a
  skipped describe block doesn't silently fs.rmSync(undefined) under the
  empty catch.

Defense — judge prompt + output:
- Wrap captured AskUserQuestion text in clearly delimited UNTRUSTED_CONTEXT
  block with explicit instruction to treat its content as data, not commands.
  Cheap defense against the (unlikely but real) injection vector where a
  captured AskUserQuestion contains "Ignore previous instructions" text.
- Bump captured-text budget from 4000 → 8000 chars; real plan-format menus
  with 4 options × ~800 chars exceed 4000 and were silently truncating
  Haiku context mid-option.

Cleanup — abbreviation rule + dead imports + touchfile consistency:
- AUQ → AskUserQuestion in 3 sites (office-hours/SKILL.md.tmpl Phase 4
  footer, two test comments) per the always-write-in-full memory rule.
  Regenerated office-hours/SKILL.md.
- Drop unused `describe`/`test` imports in 2 new test files (only
  describeIfSelected/testConcurrentIfSelected wrappers are used).
- Add `test/skill-e2e-office-hours-phase4.test.ts` to its own touchfile
  entry for consistency with other entries that include their test file.
- Fix misleading comment in fixture test about LLM short-circuiting (it's
  has_because, not commits, that skips the API call).

Verified: build clean, free `bun test` exits 0, fixture test 30/30
expect() calls pass, Phase 4 paid eval passes substance 5 in 36s.
