Add org-skill-self-edit: self-repair with paren balancing

- New skill hooks into :syntax-error and :repair-request events
- Deterministic paren balancing (fast fix)
- Surgical file edits with memory rollback on failure
- :self-edit and :balance-parens cognitive tools
- 9 new tests, all 93 tests passing

+1. Syntax errors - auto-balance parens, then LLM fix
+2. File modifications - surgical edits with memory rollback on failure
+3. Skill hot-reload - swap compiled skills without breaking the system
