feat: optional shared/external MemPalace + fix validate.yml false-red on base changes

Added:
- generate-config.py registers mempalace as a remote MCP endpoint when
  MEMPALACE_REMOTE_URL is set (MEMPALACE_REMOTE_TOKEN -> Bearer), else the local
  stdio command as before. Same env contract as pi-devbox's bridge.
- docker-compose.mempalace.yml: optional shared server (mempalace-mcp --transport http),
  loopback-bound by default.
- compose (both) + .env.example(.shared): MEMPALACE_REMOTE_URL/TOKEN + local-vs-external docs.

Fixed:
- validate.yml: skip validate-base/validate-omos on base-changing commits
  (base-change-warning now exports base_changed). Previously a commit that changed
  the base AND tightened smoke-test.sh in lockstep (v2.4.0 nano/micro) hard-failed
  against the stale base-latest until the release rebuilt it. actionlint clean.

README + CHANGELOG (Unreleased).
