Proactive doctor, setup wizard, and TUI fixes

BREAKING CHANGES / KNOWN ISSUES:
- 8 skills have syntax errors causing loader warnings:
  org-skill-bouncer, org-skill-config-manager, org-skill-credentials-vault,
  org-skill-engineering-standards, org-skill-gardener, org-skill-homoiconic-memory,
  org-skill-peripheral-vision, org-skill-policy
- These skills fail to load but don't block system operation
- TUI works despite these errors

FEATURES ADDED:

1. Proactive Doctor System
   - Doctor runs automatically on daemon startup
   - Health check runs before accepting connections
   - Adds /health endpoint for health status queries
   - *system-health* variable tracks: :healthy, :degraded, :unhealthy, :unknown

2. Error Handling (Option B - Debugger Hook)
   - TUI and CLI now run doctor diagnostics on errors
   - Shows "Run opencortex doctor" message on crash
   - Suggests repair commands after failures

3. Interactive Setup Wizard (org-skill-config-manager)
   - Full wizard implemented in config-manager skill:
     * LLM provider configuration (OpenAI, Anthropic, OpenRouter, Groq, Gemini, Ollama)
     * Gateway linking (Slack, Discord)
     * Memory settings (auto-save interval, history retention)
     * Network settings (timeout, proxy)
   - Saves to ~/.config/opencortex/.env (KEY=VALUE format)
   - CLI integration: opencortex setup, setup --add-provider, setup --link

4. CLI Enhancements
   - doctor --watch: Background health monitoring (60s interval)
   - doctor --fix: Interactive repair (falls back to full setup if core files missing)
   - setup command runs wizard or delegates to setup_system

5. TUI Fixes
   - Inlined message formatting to avoid dependency issues
   - Added error handling in handle-return
   - Cleaner error messages

6. Thin Harness Compliance
   - Removed doctor from harness (now in org-skill-diagnostics skill)
   - XDG directories: only .lisp in harness, .org kept in skills for loader

 * Overview
-The *Diagnostics Skill* (Doctor) provides system-wide health checks and dependency verification.
+The *Diagnostics Skill* (Doctor) provides system-wide health checks and dependency verification. It validates external dependencies, XDG environment, and LLM provider connectivity.
 
-* Implementation
+* Phase A: Demand (Thinking)
+** Why a Doctor?
+The Doctor transforms opaque startup failures into actionable engineering reports. It ensures the Brain never attempts to boot in a compromised state.
+
+** Detection Invariant
+Binary detection must use shell probing (`which`) to account for varying `$PATH` inheritance between interactive and headless sessions.
+
+* Phase B: Protocol (Success Criteria)
+- Dependency check passes when all required binaries are found
+- Environment check passes when XDG directories exist and are accessible
+- LLM check passes when at least one provider is configured or Ollama is running locally
+
+* Phase C: Implementation (Build)
