Improve probe/score semantics

[wkusnierczyk]

Summary

• Replace hand-rolled stemmer with Snowball (rust-stemmers), add synonym expansion, graduate trigger/name scores, soften structural scoring, unify trigger phrases across modules
  Closes [TASK] Improve probe/score matching semantics #168

Changes

Matching improvements (src/tester.rs):

• Replace 11-rule suffix stripper with Snowball English stemmer for better inflection handling
• Add 15 synonym groups for common skill-domain terms (expand query tokens only)
• Graduate trigger score from binary (0/1) to fraction of query tokens matched
• Graduate name score from binary (0/1) to fraction of query tokens matched
• Use shared TRIGGER_PHRASES from linter with contains (was starts_with on 2 phrases)

Scoring improvements (src/scorer.rs):

• Proportional structural scoring: 6 checks × 10 points each (was all-or-nothing 0 or 60)
• Add STRUCTURAL_POINTS_PER_CHECK = 10 constant

Shared constants (src/linter.rs, src/cli/upgrade.rs):

• Make TRIGGER_PHRASES pub (was private) for cross-module use
• Upgrade module now uses shared TRIGGER_PHRASES instead of hardcoded "use when"/"use this when"

Documentation (docs/cli.md):

• Add limitations notes for probe and score commands
• Update structural scoring description from all-or-nothing to proportional
• Update example scores to reflect new scoring

Breaking changes: Probe scores and score totals change for existing skills.

Test plan

• cargo test — 527 lib + 144 CLI + 27 plugin + 1 doc = 699 passing
• cargo clippy -- -D warnings — clean
• cargo fmt --check — clean
• cargo test --test anthropics_skills -- --ignored — 64 integration tests pass

Pull request overview

This PR improves the semantics and documentation of the probe/score heuristics by upgrading token normalization (Snowball stemming), adding query-side synonym expansion, graduating trigger/name scoring from binary to proportional, softening structural scoring to be proportional per check, and centralizing trigger phrase detection across modules.

Changes:

• Replace the hand-rolled stemmer with rust-stemmers (Snowball) and add query-side synonym expansion for probe matching.
• Make trigger/name scoring proportional (fraction matched) and unify trigger phrase detection via shared TRIGGER_PHRASES.
• Change structural scoring from all-or-nothing 60 points to proportional per-check points; update CLI docs/examples and changelog accordingly.

#	Finding	Severity	Resolution
1	Synonym expansion inflates denominator, can reduce scores	Medium	Fixed — denominator now uses query_set.len() (original unique tokens) instead of expanded_query.len(). Synonyms can only help, never hurt.
2	Stemmer::create() called per word	Low	Fixed — cached in static LazyLock<Stemmer>.
3	STRUCTURAL_MAX can drift from checks count	Low	Fixed — removed from production code; max derived at runtime from checks.len() * STRUCTURAL_POINTS_PER_CHECK.
4	Probe test assertion relaxed (Strong | Weak)	Low	Fixed — restored strict Strong assertion now that denominator fix resolves the score regression.
5	Synonym groups lack dedicated tests	Low	Fixed — added 4 tests: group expansion, unmatched tokens, Snowball stem verification, score non-regression.
6	Deprecated assert_cmd API	Low	Out of scope — pre-existing across all test files (tracked separately).
7	W002 double-counting in "No unknown fields" check	Info	Fixed — now checks d.code == "W001" specifically instead of d.is_warning().

532 lib + 144 CLI + 27 plugin + 64 integration tests passing. Clippy + fmt clean.
