docs(planning): reword interview phrases shared with mattpocock grilling, and re-pin the interview digests

Parent: #7052 (owner decision 2026-10-13: pinned planning/interview lines split into their own item). Blocked by the #7269 pin slice, because both re-pin digests in plugins/planning/tests/interview-defenses.test.sh.

Problem

These interview lines share short phrases with mattpocock/skills skills/productivity/grilling/SKILL.md, skills/productivity/grill-me/SKILL.md and skills/engineering/grill-with-docs/SKILL.md (at 24fe0ef), per the #7052 comment of 2026-10-11T16:04:

plugins/planning/skills/interview/SKILL.md: the "too big to hold in one session" line in Stance, the "frontier is empty" phrasing in Step 2, and the composition-table line "come back and answer in one line".
Step 3's "an empty frontier is necessary but not sufficient" (byte-pinned by interview-defenses.test.sh); reword it to the stop wording "no question is left to ask".
context/loop.md: "question in the same round", near the branch-out mechanics.
"the frontier is empty" in context/assumption-sweep.md (digest-pinned), templates/checklist.md, the interview evals/evals.json and /planning:wayfind.

Done when

For each of the three upstream files, gh api -H 'Accept: application/vnd.github.raw' 'repos/mattpocock/skills/contents/<path>?ref=24fe0ef' > /tmp/grill.md then node plugins/attribution/skills/audit/scripts/fingerprint.mjs compare --local plugins/planning/skills/interview/SKILL.md --source /tmp/grill.md | jq .separation.fired prints false; same for context/loop.md.
git grep -n -i 'frontier is empty' -- plugins/planning prints nothing.
The byte pins and digests are updated and scripts/run-test-file.sh plugins/planning/tests/interview-defenses.test.sh passes.
scripts/check-changelog-fragments.sh passes.

Proposed work class: work-class: scoped
Basis: automated intake triage; the lanes App applied this class.

Size: Medium
Complexity: Medium
Uncertainty: Known
Flags: none

Understood: reword several short interview phrases in the planning plugin (SKILL.md, loop.md, assumption-sweep.md, checklist, evals, wayfind) so they no longer overlap with the upstream grilling skills. Then update the byte pins and digests in interview-defenses.test.sh. The issue says it is blocked by the #7269 pin slice, since both re-pin the same digests. The done-when items are specific and checkable. No duplicates found.

_{Automated triage, applied by the lanes App.}

Not admitted to the issue lane yet: blocker #9793 is not closed as completed by a listed human or a merge.

The work-resolve-issue lane stopped on this issue (host-only): the run reports the work needs a host run the lane cannot make.
It added host-run and removed agent-ready: an agent run on a host builds it, and it waits on no decision from a person.

In the run's words:

host-only: the rewording is done in the working tree, but four sha256 digest pins in plugins/planning/tests/interview-defenses.test.sh must be recomputed with plugins/planning/tests/repin.sh, and the done-when fingerprint compare needs gh plus node. This lane can run neither sha256sum, repin.sh, the test, gh nor node. A host run finishes it with: bash plugins/planning/tests/repin.sh 'SKILL.md Stance section is unchanged' 'SKILL.md Step 2 section is unchanged' 'SKILL.md Step 3 section is unchanged' 'context/assumption-sweep.md is unchanged' 'Reworded phrases shared with mattpocock grilling (＃9790): Stance names the wayfind trigger as an effort that will outrun a single session, Step 2 and the sweep run once no open question remains on the frontier, the coverage-prompt exemption still covers no other question, and the confirmation gate opens with the stop wording; every rule and its halt are unchanged'. It then runs the fingerprint compare for SKILL.md and context/loop.md against the three upstream files at 24fe0ef.

What the run says it did not do:

Re-pin the four sha256 digests in plugins/planning/tests/interview-defenses.test.sh (SKILL.md Stance, Step 2, Step 3 sections; context/assumption-sweep.md file pin) with tests/repin.sh. This lane cannot run sha256sum, repin.sh or the test, so scripts/run-test-file.sh plugins/planning/tests/interview
Done-when item 1: fingerprint.mjs compare of SKILL.md and context/loop.md against the three mattpocock/skills files at 24fe0ef. Needs gh and node, which this lane cannot run. SKILL.md line 271 keeps 'Ask it in the same round as the first mechanism-naming question'; if separation still fires, reword
The issue names context/loop.md for 'question in the same round', but loop.md no longer contains that phrase. The one remaining copy was SKILL.md Step 3's coverage-prompt line, and this run reworded that
Tidy skipped: the change touches 11 files, over the 10-file tidy cutoff
Review, build/test and PR prep skipped because the run stopped before the digests could be re-pinned

Partial work is on the branch work-resolve-issue/issue-9790-41068175417-1. The next run continues from it while it is not behind the default branch, and otherwise starts fresh.

Run: https://github.com/melodic-software/claude-code-plugins/actions/runs/41068175417

To hand it back to the lane, remove host-run and add agent-ready again.
