+ * Progressive disclosure rendering (spec §5) — the exact text the model sees.
+ *
+ * Three levels:
+ *   L1 `renderSkillCatalog()`  → `<available_skills>` in the SYSTEM PROMPT.
+ *   L2 `renderSkillBody()`     → the `skill` tool RESULT (never the prompt, D2).
+ *   L3 nothing — bundled files are read on demand with `read_file` / `bash`.
+ *
+ * TWO INVARIANTS THAT ARE EASY TO BREAK AND EXPENSIVE TO LOSE:
+ *
+ *   1. Every byte of third-party text is passed through
+ *      `sanitizeForPromptBlock()` before it is concatenated into a tagged
+ *      block. "Wrap it in <skill> and tell the model it is reference material"
+ *      (§9.1 R1) only works if the content CANNOT close the tag. See D18.
+ *
+ *   2. Every budget is counted in UTF-8 BYTES, never `String.length` (D19).
+ *      `ToolExecutor` truncates at 100 000 bytes and would eat the closing tag.
