docs: replace restated upstream facts with pointers in work-items, context-budget #12689

Refs: #7292

Outcome

28 passages in 10 files state a fact an external source owns. Rewrite each as a pointer to the live upstream section, or remove it, so the next upstream change cannot leave a stale copy here. Plugins: work-items, context-budget.

Done when

• Every row below is fixed: the restated value is deleted, the local decision stays in this repository's own words, and the pointer goes to the exact upstream section with an as-of date and a recheck trigger, per .claude/rules/skill-bodies-state-current-rules.md. A record beside a restated value does not fix it. A row marked Remove has no local dependency on the fact.
• The PR passes check-stamps.sh --trigger-less (plugins/attribution/skills/audit/scripts/check-stamps.sh) on the files it touches.
• Each touched plugin has a changelog fragment.

check-stamps.sh also flags a trigger-less stamp at plugins/context-budget/skills/audit/reference/report.md:37 on the same commit; write its recheck trigger if the PR touches that file.

• plugins/work-items/reference/permission-preflight.md:101-108 (r475). Pointer: https://code.claude.com/docs/en/permissions#wildcard-patterns Drop the explanation of what a bare-exact rule permits; keep the decision that only an open-glob grant counts as coverage, pointing at the rule-syntax section.

Pointer: https://git-scm.com/docs/git-config#Documentation/git-config.txt-coreworktree (confirm the section) Drop the claims about when git writes or leaves unset core.worktree; keep the three-candidate resolution order and the Unresolved-reports-INCOMPLETE decision, pointing at git's core.worktree entry.
• plugins/work-items/reference/tracker-seam.md:35-37 (r477). Pointer: https://jqlang.org/download/ (confirm the section) Drop the Windows and Git Bash install parenthetical; keep that jq is required, a missing jq stops the action, and the install link stays as the pointer.

Pointer: https://cli.github.com/manual/gh_issue_edit#options Drop the literal flag spelling; keep the decision to clear @me through the bound adapter's assignee edit, pointing at the adapter README and gh issue edit options.

• plugins/work-items/skills/attend-queue/SKILL.md:318-333 (r478).

Each rNNN is that row's number in the order of #7292's "Findings by plugin". Every row was upheld by three blind judges and survived a refutation pass, run report-only for #12072. Pointers are candidates: fetch each before writing it, and confirm the section still documents the fact.
