fix(hooks): close the five escapes the skills#52 review found
- Fail-closed path no longer needs jq: the ask JSON is a printf literal,
  and a host without jq asks instead of staying silent.
- A tool_name that is not a non-empty string asks (was: no opinion).
- Gate workflow_run_trigger, tag_create, release_create, and
  file_write_branch when it lands on main/master, has no branch, or
  empties a file (same effect as pr_merge / file_delete).
- Header claim narrowed: gitea-mcp spellings on any server name, not
  other servers' spellings of the same operation.
- Tests run the hook as hooks.json does (bash <path>), assert exit 0 on
  every case, and cover null/missing/wrong-type tool_name, last-segment
  verb parsing and a PATH without jq. 13 new cases were red first.

# PreToolUse hook (mcp__.* matcher) — makes a human approve irreversible MCP
# verbs instead of letting the model run them unattended.
#
# Why (infra#508, infra ADR-0027): gitea-mcp authenticates by PAT pass-through,
# so an agent holds the full scope of the caller's PAT. repo_delete's own guard
# (confirm == repo) is filled in by the model on both sides: it stops typos,
# not an injected or mistaken agent. The infra-mcp README claimed client-side
# deny lists covered this; on 2026-10-01 none existed in any settings file.
#
# Policy: match gitea-mcp's verb spellings on ANY server name. The same tool is
# reachable as mcp__plugin_skills_gitea__*, mcp__claude_ai_gitea__* or under
# whatever name a host registers it with, so keying on the server name would
# let a rename bypass the gate. It does NOT recognise other servers' spellings
# of the same operation (e.g. a third-party `delete_repo`).
#
# file_write_branch is gated when it would land on main/master (on infra that
# is a Flux deploy within ~60s — the same effect as pr_merge) or empty a file
# (the same effect as file_delete). Writes to other branches pass.
#
# Emits "ask" or nothing; never "allow" (a hook allow would override the
# user's own deny/ask rules). Always exits 0: Claude Code ignores a hook's
# JSON on a non-zero exit. Anything it cannot parse — including a host
# without jq — fails closed to "ask". The ask JSON is a literal, so the
# fail-closed path needs no tool that might be missing.
#
# Scope limit, recorded in infra ADR-0027: this gates MCP calls only. A
# session with the PAT in its environment can still reach the Gitea REST API
# through a shell.
