fix: rename all remaining built-in-shadowing skill names and harden the last cp1252-fatal scripts (#885, #969 follow-through)
Round-2 sweep after re-auditing all 15 reported issues against the merged dev:

- #885 generalized: the original fix only renamed self-improving-agent's
  status/review, but three more plugins shipped skills whose bare names
  shadow Claude Code built-ins. Renamed with the same convention:
  playwright-pro init/review -> pw-init/pw-review, agenthub init/status ->
  hub-init/hub-status, autoresearch-agent status/resume -> ar-status/
  ar-resume. All command references (/pw: /hub: /ar:), docs, audit records,
  harness manifests, and mirror trees/indexes updated; the flat mirror
  namespace no longer collides on 'status'. New scripts/check_skill_names.py
  gate (wired into ci-quality-gate.yml as blocking) fails CI on any future
  bare reserved name; rule added to SKILL-AUTHORING-STANDARD.md.
- #969 follow-through: five more scripts print box-drawing characters that
  cannot exist in cp1252 (api_scorecard, api_linter,
  breaking_change_detector, humanizer_scorer, content_scorer) — same
  guarded UTF-8 reconfigure applied; all smoke-tested under a forced
  legacy encoding.

Verified: check_skill_names (incl. negative test), check_plugin_json,
check_paths, derive_counters, check_dual_publish, smoke_scripts (634/634),
0 broken mirror symlinks.

Initialize an AgentHub collaboration session. Creates the `.agenthub/` directory structure, generates a session ID, and configures evaluation criteria.
## Usage
```
/hub:hub-init # Interactive mode
/hub:hub-init --task "Optimize API" --agents 3 --eval "pytest bench.py" --metric p50_ms --direction lower
/hub:hub-init --task "Refactor auth" --agents 2 # No eval (LLM judge mode)
```
## What It Does
### If arguments provided
Pass them to the init script:
```bash
python {skill_path}/scripts/hub_init.py \
--task "{task}" --agents {N} \
[--eval "{eval_cmd}"] [--metric {metric}] [--direction {direction}] \
[--base-branch {branch}]
```
### If no arguments (interactive mode)
Collect each parameter:
1. **Task** — What should the agents do? (required)
2. **Agent count** — How many parallel agents? (default: 3)
3. **Eval command** — Command to measure results (optional — skip for LLM judge mode)
4. **Metric name** — What metric to extract from eval output (required if eval command given)
5. **Direction** — Is lower or higher better? (required if metric given)
6. **Base branch** — Branch to fork from (default: current branch)
### Output
```
AgentHub session initialized
Session ID: 20260317-143022
Task: Optimize API response time below 100ms
Agents: 3
Eval: pytest bench.py --json
Metric: p50_ms (lower is better)
Base branch: dev
State: init
Next step: Run /hub:spawn to launch 3 agents
```
For content or research tasks (no eval command → LLM judge mode):
```
AgentHub session initialized
Session ID: 20260317-151200
Task: Draft 3 competing taglines for product launch
Agents: 3
Eval: LLM judge (no eval command)
Base branch: dev
State: init
Next step: Run /hub:spawn to launch 3 agents
```
## Baseline Capture
If `--eval` was provided, capture a baseline measurement after session creation:
1. Run the eval command in the current working directory
2. Extract the metric value from stdout
3. Append `baseline: {value}` to `.agenthub/sessions/{session-id}/config.yaml`
4. Display: `Baseline captured: {metric} = {value}`
This baseline is used by `result_ranker.py --baseline` during evaluation to show deltas. If the eval command fails at this stage, warn the user but continue — baseline is optional.
## After Init
Tell the user:
- Session created with ID `{session-id}`
- Baseline metric (if captured)
- Next step: `/hub:spawn` to launch agents
- Or `/hub:spawn {session-id}` if multiple sessions exist
