feat(editorial): Phase D synergy commander enrichment, augmentation, lint & docs\n\nAdds Phase D editorial tooling: synergy-based commander selection with 3/2/1 pattern, duplicate filtering, annotated synergy_commanders, promotion to minimum examples, and augmentation heuristics (e.g. Counters Matter/Proliferate injection). Includes new scripts (generate_theme_editorial_suggestions, lint, validate, catalog build/apply), updates orchestrator & web routes, expands CI workflow, and documents usage & non-determinism policies. Updates lint rules, type definitions, and docker configs.
