chore(brain): de-surface brain_index from the model-facing toolset (#78)
CI / Lint / Test / Vet (push) Successful in 29s
CI / Mirror to GitHub (push) Successful in 4s

brain_index is auto-called after every write, and its own description
said so. A verb surfaced to callers that callers should never call is
cognitive load with no decision behind it — ADR-0012 rule 4.

Removed from tools/list only. The dispatch case stays, so maintenance
can still rebuild a Map of Content by hand: de-surfacing hides the verb,
not the operation. A test pins both halves, since removing the descriptor
and removing the capability look identical from the tool list.

Nothing called it directly — grepped the skills, specs and docs.
