refactor(plugin+tests): the last two parallel-family gaps — pageable list tools, one config preamble (#2278)
DRY pass 3's remainder. Both halves start from enumeration, because the task's
candidate list was hypotheses and the process requires counting before
proposing — and counting changed the answer twice.

## The list_* family: a limit with no offset

Enumerated all 19 `list_*` MCP tools first. They are genuinely heterogeneous —
8 take `project_id`, 6 take `limit`, six take no arguments at all — so a
common-parameter guard would invent a convention the API does not have, which
is the over-DRY trap (§5). One contract IS real: a `limit` without an `offset`
is a truncation with no continuation. The caller is told there are 250 results,
handed 50, and given no way to ask for the rest.

Two tools had it, and both were capped over a service that already accepted an
offset: `snippets_svc.list_snippets(offset=0)` was simply not exposed, and
`list_processes` passed a hardcoded `offset=0` into `query_knowledge`. The
capability existed one layer down in both; only the door was missing — the
missing-sibling shape exactly. Both now expose it.

`tests/test_mcp_list_family.py` guards it, with `list_tags` exempted for a
stated reason (a ranked top-N over a bounded vocabulary has no "rest" to page
into). Candidates derived, decision explicit, same design as test_mcp_auth —
plus the reverse checks: a stale exemption, and an offset with no limit, which
would page through an unbounded result set. Verified non-vacuous by running the
sweep against the pre-fix tree, where it fails naming both tools.

## The verb pairs: no finding, which is the finding

`preview`/`apply` and `dry_run`/`commit` do not exist anywhere in the 102
tools — those were guesses about a shape Scribe never adopted. `count_*` does
not exist either. Of the create/delete stems only `project_rule` lacks a
`delete_X`, and deliberately: a project rule IS a rule, `delete_rule` removes
it, and the docstring says so. `force` sits on 6 of 7 duplicate-gated creates;
the exception is `create_system`, whose gate is an exact normalized-NAME match
rather than a semantic near-match — forcing it would split one area's records
across two piles, which its own message explains. No guard added: it would
need a seven-entry exemption list to defend against a hypothetical. Recorded
on the leave-alone list instead, which the process asks for by name.

## The hook config preamble

Not 3 of 6 hooks as recorded — all FIVE carried their own copy, and of four
lines rather than two. The extra two are a guard treating an unexpanded
`${...}` placeholder as unset, so it is never sent as a garbage Bearer token:
precisely the correctness detail a sixth hook would omit with nothing failing
loudly. Now `scribe_config` in scribe_defs.sh, which also declares the two
names it owns. It sets globals rather than echoing, so a token never passes
through a subshell's output where xtrace or a log could catch it, and returns
a status so a caller can bail (`|| exit 0`) or continue degraded — the
session-context hook still owes its static floor when Scribe is unconfigured.

`check_plugin.py` now runs shellcheck with `-x`. Without it the shared helpers
were invisible: every variable they set read as unassigned and every bug inside
them went unlinted at the call site, which is the opposite of what sharing them
was for. All twelve fail-open scenarios still pass, and all five hooks were
probed live against the instance — prior_art and after_write both still name
canon, autoinject returns context, session_context serves 11k chars of rules,
sync_processes stays silent. Plugin 0.1.46 (#2209).

# Scribe plugin — PreToolUse write-path trigger (prior-art recall).
#
# Auto-inject (scribe_autoinject.sh) fires on the operator's prompt. The moment
# reuse is actually lost is later: when the AGENT decides mid-task to write a
# helper. This hook fires there — on Write/Edit — and asks the operator's Scribe
# instance what prior art is already recorded for the target file: a snippet at
# that path or in its directory, plus snippets resembling the code about to be
# written. Titles + ids only, never bodies.
#
# The answer comes in two framings (#2708). A snippet recorded AT the exact
# file being edited is the SYNC class — "you are editing the recorded file;
# updating the record is part of the edit" — which is how records stay current
# on an instance with no forge connection (decision #2707). Everything else is
# the REUSE menu. The two dedup separately (see the state files below).
#
# It is also the shape ledger's write-path feed (#2791): it names the
# definitions being written (`shapes=`), and the server — only when the
# session has PULLED a snippet this code references or resembles — records
# them as instance rows, classified_by=hook. Evidence, not judgment; the
# context line says what landed so a wrong stamp is corrected in the moment.
#
# NEVER BLOCKS. It returns `additionalContext` with no `permissionDecision`, so
# the write proceeds untouched and Claude sees the note beside the tool result.
# Any failure — unconfigured, unreachable, malformed — exits 0 in silence. A
# recall aid must not be able to stop the operator's work.
#
# Config (same as the other hooks), exported to the hook by Claude Code with the
# userConfig key UPPERCASED (see #2198 — the lowercase spelling reads as empty
# and this hook then exits 0 in silence, looking exactly like "no prior art"):
# CLAUDE_PLUGIN_OPTION_API_ENDPOINT base URL, no trailing slash
# CLAUDE_PLUGIN_OPTION_API_TOKEN fmcp_ API key (sensitive)
# SCRIBE_URL / SCRIBE_TOKEN override for the settings.json dogfooding path.

# changes the inside of a function rather than its signature — the definition
# enclosing the edit, found by walking the target file upward from the edited
# lines. The server decides whether evidence exists (the session pulled a
# snippet this code references or resembles) and stamps instance rows; with
# no pulled canon in play, nothing is recorded. Titles only still — this sends
