fix(skills-hub): stop shipping a degenerate index when GitHub taps collapse (#42347)

The Skills Hub lost every api.github.com-backed source — the OpenAI,
Anthropic, HuggingFace, NVIDIA, gstack, Claude Marketplace and Well-Known
tabs all vanished — while ClawHub/skills.sh/LobeHub/browse.sh survived. A
GitHub API rate limit during the docs-deploy crawl zeroed all three
api.github.com sources (github / claude-marketplace / well-known) at once.

Two compounding bugs let the broken index reach the live site:

1. build_skills_index.py wrote the output file BEFORE the health check, so
   even when the github floor (30) tripped and the script exited 2, the
   degenerate file was already on disk. deploy-site.yml then swallowed the
   exit code with `|| echo non-fatal` and extract-skills.py read the partial
   index. Fix: run the health check first, write the file only when healthy,
   exit without writing on failure. Removed the non-fatal swallow in
   deploy-site.yml so a collapse fails the deploy and the last good site
   stays live (Pages serves the previous build).

2. The build-time GitHub listing path returned [] on a 403 rate-limit without
   retrying or flagging it, so a rate-limited crawl looked identical to an
   empty source. Fix: a shared _github_get() helper on GitHubSource with
   retry/backoff (honors Retry-After / X-RateLimit-Reset on 403/429, backs
   off on 5xx + transport errors) and flags is_rate_limited. Routed
   _list_skills_in_repo and _fetch_file_content through it; gave
   ClaudeMarketplaceSource a persistent GitHubSource + is_rate_limited so the
   builder can name the rate limit as the cause instead of '0 results'.

Added tests/scripts/test_build_skills_index_health.py pinning both contracts:
a degenerate crawl exits non-zero and writes no file; a healthy crawl writes
the index with github/claude-marketplace/well-known all present.

"""Invariants for scripts/build_skills_index.py's health-check guard.
Regression context (June 2026): a GitHub API rate limit zeroed every
api.github.com-backed source (github / claude-marketplace / well-known) at
once during the docs deploy crawl. The build's health check fired and exited
non-zero but it had ALREADY written the degenerate index to disk, and
deploy-site.yml swallowed the exit code with ``|| echo non-fatal``. The
partial index (missing the OpenAI/Anthropic/HuggingFace/NVIDIA tabs) shipped
to the live Skills Hub.
These tests pin the two contracts that prevent a recurrence:
1. A degenerate crawl exits non-zero AND does NOT write the output file
(so extract-skills.py falls back instead of reading a broken index).
2. A healthy crawl exits zero AND writes the file with every source present.
