fix(processes): the least-equipped kind is the one that gets followed
Survey pass 3 (#2250) tabulated capabilities per record kind. Processes came
out lowest on every column, and they are the kind with the most authority:
build_process_manifest turns each one into a skill file on the operator's
machine that auto-surfaces and is followed as written — its own docstring calls
it "the most consequential passive surface Scribe has."

Three gaps closed.

NO PULL TELEMETRY (#2476). get_process recorded nothing, while the auto-inject
menu header names get_process as the way to open that kind. Every note is
embedded regardless of note_type, so a Process is surfaceable — and the getter
the product points at was the one getter that recorded nothing, leaving every
Process permanently at zero pulls and looking like dead weight beside kinds
that merely had a counter.

get_note's own comment already listed processes as a reason to record pulls.
The fix for #2245 covered notes, tasks and snippets: it enumerated the kinds
someone thought of rather than the kinds that exist.

NO DEDUP GATE. create_process had no near-duplicate check and no force flag,
while notes, tasks, snippets and rules all have both. It matters more here than
elsewhere: two near-identical procedures don't just bloat the corpus, they
compete to be followed, and which one wins is decided by a slug collision.

NO DELETE. list/create/get/update, no delete — a kind that reads as one you
cannot retire. Deletion was always possible via delete_note, since a Process is
a note and the trash is kind-agnostic, so this was discoverability rather than
capability. delete_process checks note_type before trashing: the tool is
reached for by name, and letting it destroy an ordinary note whose id happened
to resolve would be a destructive action taken on a mistyped argument.

THE GUARD, which is the part that stops a fourth repeat.

tests/test_mcp_pull_telemetry.py discovers every get_* MCP tool by AST and
requires a record_pulled from any that loads a single note. Not a list of
getters — a get_<newkind> added tomorrow is covered the moment it loads a note
the way the others do. get_milestone is correctly excluded: it calls list_notes
for a milestone's steps, which is a surfacing, not an opening.

The loader NAMES are a list, and that residual weakness is pinned against a
rename rather than papered over. An earlier draft tried to discover new loaders
by return annotation and would have failed on create_note — which also returns
a Note. Readers and writers aren't distinguishable by type, so the honest
version is a pinned list, a non-empty assertion, and a docstring saying which
hole remains.

test_register_attaches_four_tools became a derived check of the module's public
coroutines, so the next tool added can't be left unregistered.

MCP _INSTRUCTIONS updated: product behaviour belongs in the instruction
surfaces, not in a rule (rule #119).
