chore(public-prep): scrub author identity + private-IP references

Pre-public Phase 1. Remove personal/IP traces that should not ship in a
general-purpose kit; keep only intended author attribution.

- no-github-push.sh + hooks-and-blocks.md + ci-scaffold: drop "KeiTech
  unfiled patent IP / trade secrets / priority date" wording; reword as a
  generic opt-in guard for keeping code on a private remote.
- check-error-patterns.sh: remove author-local absolute path from the
  tombstone comment.
- graph-export-watcher.sh: default viz dir to ~/.local/share/kei/graph-viz
  (was a personal project path).
- agent manifests (cost-guardian, modal-runner, infra/ml/code-implementer)
  + ci.yml: strip private memory references and dated personal incidents;
  keep the generic cost/ops lessons. Snapshots regenerated; golden 3/3.

Kept intentionally: author attribution (NOTICE / README / Cargo / plugin).
