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.

Review fixes on top of the `codeman doctor` checker:
- Node minVersion 18.0.0 -> 22.0.0. package.json engines is ">=22.0.0" and the docs/CI
require Node 22+, so doctor was green-lighting Node 18-21 (a false pass).
- Remove the phantom `gemini` registry entry. Codeman has no Gemini backend
(SessionMode = 'claude' | 'shell' | 'opencode' | 'codex'); the entry advertised a
dependency that nothing uses.
- Add `pdftoppm` (poppler) to the office group. document-thumbnailer.ts calls pdftoppm
with no fallback as the sole PDF/Office first-page thumbnail renderer, yet it was
absent from the registry, so doctor never reported it missing.
- Fix the `--category` mismatch: the help advertised `documents|media` categories that
the ToolCategory type/registry never defined, and an unknown category silently
produced an empty "all healthy" table. Introduce TOOL_CATEGORIES as the single source
of truth (type + help + validation); an invalid `--category` now errors with the
valid list and exits 2.
Verified: tsc, lint, format:check all clean; both dependency tests pass (20);
`doctor` runs correctly (Node 22.22 ok, pdftoppm detected, no gemini), `--category media`
errors with exit 2, `--category office` lists libreoffice/pdftoppm/msoffice.

Environment-aware dependency probe (linux|darwin|win32|wsl) with a static
registry, an injectable ProbeHost seam for testing, grouped table + `--json`
output, and a non-zero exit when a required dependency is missing/outdated.
Node and tmux are the only hard-required tools; the agent CLIs and document
converters (LibreOffice / MS Office via WSL interop) are optional. CI-safe
unit tests (no tmux, injected host).
