Merge step (b): carry in local-only files at original paths

Brings 47 local-only files from backup-local-main into the merge-upstream
branch at their pre-rename paths. Subsequent steps will rename these to
the ce-* convention and port shared-file merges.

Includes:
- Custom skills: john-voice, jira-ticket-writer, hugo-blog-publisher,
  weekly-shipped, proof-push, ship-it, story-lens, sync-confluence,
  excalidraw-png-export, python-package-writer, fastapi-style,
  upstream-merge
- Custom agents: design-conformance-reviewer, tiangolo-fastapi-reviewer,
  zip-agent-validator, python-package-readme-writer, lint
- Custom commands: essay-edit, essay-outline, pr-comments-to-todos,
  resolve_todo_parallel, workflows/{plan,review,work}
- Local mods to ce-review/SKILL.md + review-output-template.md (will be
  ported to ce-code-review in a later step)

+# John's Signature Moves
+
+## The "Not What You Think" Correction
+
+Sets up a received wisdom, then reveals what's actually underneath. The inversion is the essay.
+
+> "Many believe buildings in DC cannot be taller than the White House. The rule is actually based on the road the building adjoins."
+
+> "The birth rate isn't falling because married women stopped having children. It's falling because fewer women are getting married in the first place."
+
+> "The appliances didn't free time; they redefined our standards of what 'clean enough' meant."
+
+---
+
+## The Lateral Analogy
+
+Builds through parallel examples from unrelated domains until a shared principle becomes undeniable. Two examples is a comparison. Three is a pattern.
+
+> Crosscut saws → mechanical watches → mechanical keyboards → *therefore* manual cars will thrive as a niche.
+
+> Vacuum cleaner → washing machine → dishwasher → *therefore* AI won't free your time either.
+
+---
+
+## The Parenthetical Aside
+
+A secondary observation tucked in parentheses — a dry qualifier, a confession, or the best joke in the paragraph. It rewards close readers without slowing anyone else down.
+
+> *(dodged the extraterrestrial lifeforms)*
+
+> *(and will probably never go)*
+
+> *(which are likely closer to 200 miles in reality)*
+
+Use parentheses, never em-dashes. The parenthetical slips in; the em-dash announces itself.
+
+---
+
+## The Rhetorical Pivot
+
+A question that advances the argument rather than decorating it. Often used as a structural bookend — asked at the start, answered by the end.
+
+> "What makes a city beautiful?" — opens the essay and recurs mid-piece.
+
+> "Does owning an EV keep you from embarking on long road trips?"
+
+> "Why is this memory the one that's faded the least?"
+
+---
+
+## The Sensory Stack
+
+When the reader needs to be *there*, enumerate specific sensory channels in sequence. Not impressionistic atmosphere — each detail is unique to the exact scene.
+
+> "I hear the engine increase in its frothy fury, I feel the seat press back against me, I see the landscape start to blur slowly and then suddenly quickly, I stamp the clutch in, feel a sense of weightlessness..."
+
+> "The greenness of the vegetation and the blueness of the sky. I remember how the flowering jasmine smells. The vibrations of the small, but mighty, engine chattering through the steering wheel."
