refactor(agent/review): simplify curator, background_review, verify, insights, title and learning modules (-22% LOC)

Cluster: agent/{curator,curator_backup,background_review,review_engine,
review_idle_queue,insights,learning_graph,learning_graph_render,
learning_mutations,learn_prompt,verification_evidence,verification_stop,
verify_hooks,side_question,title_generator,turn_summary,
manual_compression_feedback,trajectory,moa_trace,trace_upload,verify/*}.
13662 -> 10693 LOC (-2969, -21.7%), behavior-neutral.

- Dead code: 27 private helpers with zero references removed
  (_auto_title_session, _resolve_review_model, _parse_make_targets,
  _filter_verifiable_paths, _find_subsequence, _is_under_root/_temp_dir,
  _merge_runs, learning_graph_render bucket/period/node helpers,
  _memories_dir/_memory_local_index/_node_detail, _cron_jobs_file,
  _retention_cutoff, _scope_for_args, _clean_token, _count_diff_lines,
  _ordered_verbs, _hermes_meta, _iter_skill_files).
- Unified helpers: _read_config_section (curator + curator_backup),
  _write_file/_write_json (4 curator report writers), _msg_text
  (background_review <- side_question), _report_failure/_notify_title
  (title_generator instant/auto paths), _is_under (verification_evidence),
  _scoped SQL pair builder + _query (insights), _optional_lock
  (background_review), verify.recipes table-driven detection.
- if/elif routing -> dict dispatch: side_question role labels,
  curator_backup summary bits, learning_graph_render buckets, insights
  section rendering, verify recipe pickers.
- Redundant defensive layers, single-use wrappers and verbose narrative
  comments collapsed; every non-obvious WHY/invariant kept in compact form.

Verification: parity.py (all REMOVED symbols zero-ref), import smoke for
every module + cli/run_agent/gateway.run/hermes_cli.main/
agent.conversation_loop/tui_gateway.server, old-vs-new fuzz parity on all
shared pure functions, SQL trace parity for insights and
verification_evidence, cluster tests 1354 passed / 0 failed (46 files).

-``/learn`` is open-ended. The user can point it at anything they can describe:
-a directory of code, an API doc URL, a workflow they just walked the agent
-through in this conversation, or pasted notes. This module builds ONE prompt
-that instructs the live agent to:
-
-  1. Gather the sources the user named, using the tools it already has
-     (``read_file`` / ``search_files`` for dirs, ``web_extract`` for URLs, the
-     current conversation for "what I just did", the user's text for pasted
-     material).
-  2. Author a skill via ``skill_manage`` that follows the Hermes
-     skill-authoring standards (description <=60 chars, the modern section
-     order, Hermes-tool framing, no invented commands). Small sources get one
-     tight SKILL.md; large prose sources (books, paper stacks, specs, doc
-     corpora) get the knowledge-base layout — a lean SKILL.md index plus
-     per-chapter ``references/`` files loaded on demand via ``skill_view``
-     (the shape popularized by virgiliojr94/book-to-skill).
-
-There is no separate distillation engine and no model-tool footprint: the
-agent does the work with its existing toolset, so this works identically on
-local, Docker, and remote terminal backends. Every surface (CLI ``/learn``,
-gateway ``/learn``, the dashboard "Learn a skill" panel) calls
-:func:`build_learn_prompt` and feeds the result to the agent as a normal turn.
