chore: update vendored skills and record provenance

humanizer 2.2.0 -> 2.9.1 (blader/humanizer, MIT): adds a Voice
Calibration section and a passive-voice pattern, reworks negative
parallelisms and em dashes. Version moved to metadata.version upstream.

impeccable 3.6.0 -> 4.0.4 (pbakaus/impeccable, Apache-2.0): the repo
tags the skill and the npm CLI separately, so 3.6.0 was a real release
and npm's 3.5.0 was never the comparison. Adds native-platform reference
briefs.

Each now carries an UPSTREAM file; bin/check-vendored.sh reports drift.
