AI Activity Brief and Broker Evolution

The Catalyst plugin ecosystem now includes an AI-powered Activity Brief panel that generates executive summaries of the last 30m/1h/6h of development activity, plus a new /god skill for cross-project omniscient status monitoring. The core event filtering system has evolved into catalyst-broker with structured agent identity, automatic PR correlation, and deterministic routing for Linear ticket events. Run catalyst-monitor.sh forward-start to enable the new OTLP/PostHog/Cloudflare Analytics Engine telemetry forwarder that ships canonical events to external observability platforms.
