Sahil Saghir db744e7d1e feat(simplify-code): add risk-tiered application, Chesterton's Fence, slop + silent failure detection
Five targeted enhancements to the upstream simplify-code skill:

1. Risk-tiered application (SAFE/CAREFUL/RISKY) — safe changes auto-applied,
   careful changes verified per-file, risky changes flagged for human review.
   Prevents auto-applying N+1 restructures and public API renames.

2. Chesterton's Fence — before flagging anything for removal, reviewers run
   'git blame' to understand why it exists. Low-confidence findings are
   escalated rather than guessed.

3. AI slop detection — Quality reviewer now catches: extra comments restating
   obvious code, unnecessary defensive null-checks on validated inputs, 'as any'
   casts, and patterns inconsistent with the rest of the file.

4. Silent failure detection — Efficiency reviewer now catches: empty catch
   blocks, ignored error returns, except:pass, .catch(()=>{}) with no handling,
   and error propagation gaps.

5. Structured reviewer output with confidence+risk tags — reviewers report in
   'file:line → problem → fix | confidence: H/M/L | risk: SAFE/CAREFUL/RISKY'
   format, enabling the orchestrator to tier the application.

Plus 3 new pitfalls: over-trusting dead code tools, public contract awareness,
and preserving intentional error handling.

Total: +45/-8 lines. Keeps the 212-line compact spirit.
