+- AGENTS.md + `skill active`: PROPOSE is now NON-BLOCKING. The agent finally
+  classified correctly ("caveman is STYLE → I must propose") but then talked itself
+  out of asking via "asking would delay the task" / "user has a clear request" /
+  "I'll just do the task". The new wording makes asking non-blocking (ask at the top,
+  then do the task in the same reply) and explicitly forbids those excuses, plus
+  "mentioning/noting/available is NOT asking".
