M4: the assembler — assemble → model → parse (Increment 2)

SharedKernel contracts (so Assembler stays decoupled): IAgentRunContextProvider (agent +
task) and ISkillCatalog (skill prompts by key). Implemented by OrgBoard (AgentRunContextProvider)
and Skills (SkillCatalog).

Assembler:
- PromptAssembler builds house-style + identity + the agent's skill bodies + the task, and
  derives the primary action + risk from the agent's first skill. RAG/working-memory join at M6.
- AgentRunExecutor (real): resolve context + skills → assemble → resolve BYOK config (with
  fallback) → call IModelClient → parse into action + risk → capture all on the AgentRun.

Verified: build green; ArchitectureTests 8/8; IntegrationTests 29/29 — incl. the M4 acceptance:
assigning a Spec task to Aria (PO, gated, stub BYOK) yields a Completed run with the assembled
prompt (skill body + task title), action "write-spec", risk "Draft", and model output. Nothing
executes — the gate is M5.
