feat(skills): add mempalace proactive-load directive for containers

Baking the mempalace fallback skill fixed *availability*, but mempalace had
no proactive-load directive anywhere (pi-toolkit's global AGENTS.md only
points to pi-extensions), so a new container would still surface it only via
description-matching — the same under-utilisation the pi-extensions directive
was created to fix.

Add a session-start pointer to the pi-devbox managed AGENTS.md block
(pi-global-AGENTS.append.md): gated to pi-devbox containers and conditional on
the MemPalace MCP tools being present. Memory continuity matters most in a
frequently-recreated container — the palace is its only cross-recreate memory.

- pi-global-AGENTS.append.md: '## Session start: load the mempalace skill'.
- smoke-test: assert the pointer merges into the global AGENTS.md at build.
- docs: VENDORED.md, README, CHANGELOG [Unreleased].

Now both skills are complete in pi-devbox: directive + skill file.
pi-extensions = directive (pi-toolkit) + baked skill; mempalace = directive
(this block) + baked skill.

## Session start: load the mempalace skill
If MemPalace MCP tools (e.g. `mempalace_search`, `mempalace_diary_write`) are in
your tool list, **read `~/.agents/skills/mempalace/SKILL.md` before doing
non-trivial work** and follow its protocol: search the palace before answering
about past work, and write a diary entry before the session ends. This is
especially load-bearing here — a pi-devbox container is frequently recreated, so
the palace is your only memory across recreates. Without the habit it is just
storage, not memory. (The skill is the consumer side; feeding the palace is the
separate `opencode-mempalace-bridge` skill, if present.)
