Strip the disable-model-invocation frontmatter key from all 19 editable skills. Absent = default = model invocation enabled. 8 were 'true' and blocked the model AND orchestrators from self-routing (status, plugin-check, analyze, onboard, refactor, init-project, pdf-translate, ship-feature) — contradicting the CLAUDE.md skill-routing rules. The other 11 were 'false', a no-op noise line.
The setting is binary (no per-caller granularity), so enabling orchestrator chaining also enables model auto-fire — accepted. Genuinely destructive operations remain guarded by the careful/guard hooks, independent of this flag.
