fix(pi): align the doctor with the pi resolver, correct the strip rationale, update the skill

Second review pass on #282, the three items left open after f4dcfbe.

1. `codeman doctor` and the run mode disagreed about pi. The registry entry
   accepted a bare `which pi` hit while pi-cli-resolver demanded semver-shaped
   `--version` output, so the Dependencies panel could report an installed Pi CLI
   on a box where Run Pi stays hidden, which reads as a broken mode rather than a
   missing install. Both sides now share one exported PI_VERSION_REGEX, and
   PathResolver gains an opt-in `requireVersionMatch` so a binary that fails the
   shape check is reported MISSING instead of installed-with-unknown-version.
   Only pi sets it; every other tool keeps its current behaviour.

2. The isAltScreenStripMode comment justified excluding pi with "the alt screen
   is load-bearing for its fullscreen TUI". That is not what exclusion does: pi
   is tmux-backed, so it falls through to isMuxAltScreenOnlyStripMode, which
   strips the alt-screen toggles anyway. What exclusion actually preserves is
   `\x1b[3J` and the mouse DECSETs, which is the real reason (pi renders into the
   main screen and is mouse-aware). Comment and changeset now say that, and state
   the consequence: fullscreen pi paints into the main buffer, like vim in a tmux
   shell session.

3. skills/codeman still enumerated the five pre-pi modes in nine places, telling
   agents a backend does not exist and understating class-wide caveats by one
   mode. All updated, plus stale session.ts line references refreshed.

Tests: a new static guard derives the mode set from the Zod schema (not a copy)
and fails when a skill enumeration lists a partial set of external CLIs, verified
by mutation. It also documents the one legitimate exception it found: the "writes
no transcript" lists drop codex, which does write a rollout Codeman reads back.
Plus doctor cases for an unrelated `pi` on PATH and registry/resolver regex parity.
