Merge branch 'fix/v0.14.1-audit-blockers' — v0.14.1 audit fixes + CI

Wave 1+2 audit: 3 RELEASE BLOCKERS + 3 HIGH + 2 MED + newly-surfaced CI gap all fixed. Verified: - Rust workspace tests: 167 (up from 154; +13 new path-traversal + backend-guard + patch-format tests) - Assembler tests: 20/20 unchanged - install.sh syntax clean - GitHub Actions CI covers: rust-assembler, rust-primitives, ts-packages (Node 18/20/22), install-dry-run, shell-lint, genesis-scan — all matrix Ubuntu+macOS

 ## What it is

-KeiSeiKit is a comprehensive drop-in toolkit for [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code). It ships a curated set of composable behavioral blocks, a Rust assembler that builds agent `.md` files from TOML manifests deterministically, nine pre-wired hooks (three of them dedicated to RULE 0.14 session self-audit), 35 portable skills (including an interactive `/new-agent` wizard, 10 hub-and-spoke pipelines, and the `/self-audit` retrospective skill), **9 Rust primitive crates**, 13 shell primitives, and 11 cross-tool bridge templates. Everything follows a Constructor Pattern: one file per concern, manifests as single source of truth, and the generated agent files are regenerated on every relevant edit.
+KeiSeiKit is a comprehensive drop-in toolkit for [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code). It ships a curated set of composable behavioral blocks, a Rust assembler that builds agent `.md` files from TOML manifests deterministically, 10 pre-wired PreToolUse/PostToolUse hooks (three of them dedicated to RULE 0.14 session self-audit), 38 portable skills (including an interactive `/new-agent` wizard, 10 hub-and-spoke pipelines, and the `/self-audit` retrospective skill), **24 Rust primitive crates**, 13 opt-in shell primitives (plus 3 always-copied sleep-sync helpers), and 11 cross-tool bridge templates. Everything follows a Constructor Pattern: one file per concern, manifests as single source of truth, and the generated agent files are regenerated on every relevant edit.

 The kit is MIT-licensed and fully generic — install it on a fresh machine and you get a sane 12-agent fleet (implementers, critics, researchers, cost-guardians, and more — all namespaced under `kei-*` so they won't collide with your own same-named agents), a wizard for spinning up new project specialists, 10 pipeline skills that combine primitives end-to-end (`/compose-solution`, `/site-create`, `/schema-design`, `/observability-setup`, `/auth-setup`, `/api-design`, `/ci-scaffold`, `/test-matrix`, `/docs-scaffold`, `/new-project`, `/vm-provision`), and a build pipeline that keeps every agent derivable from its manifest.

+//!   * keyword-table dispatch, `require` predicate, first-match wins

+//! S3Store — object-storage backend (MVP stub; v0.14.1 local-only).
 //!
 //! This is a local-manifest-based implementation intended as an offline MVP.
 //! Reads/writes go to `cache_path`; `commit` serialises a
 //! `manifest-<hash>.json` listing the current file tree + content hash;
 //! `push`/`pull` are NO-OPs in stub mode.
 //!
+//! v0.14.1: because the backend does NOT actually reach S3, the factory
+//! now refuses to build an `S3Store` unless `KEI_STORE_ALLOW_S3_STUB=1`
+//! is set. Previously users who configured S3 were silently writing to a
+//! local cache with no remote push. See `factory.rs` for the guard.
+//!
+//! v0.14.1 hardening: `full()` rejects absolute paths and `..` components
+//! (same CVE class as `filesystem.rs` — user-supplied `rel` could escape
+//! the cache root).
+//!
 //! Production S3/R2/MinIO support is planned via `aws-sdk-s3` behind a
 //! feature flag — see README §Store backends. This stub keeps the trait
 //! surface honest so downstream code can exercise the full kei-store
 //! API without pulling a ~20 MB AWS SDK at install time.
