Make Step 2's KB duplicate search visible with a printed log line

[Copilot]

Step 2 of the continuous-learning capture skill decides whether a session skips, edits, or creates a memory based on a knowledge-base search — but unlike Step 4's pre-Write checks, it never required printed output. A search that never ran was indistinguishable from one that ran and found nothing, weakening the audit trail behind the duplication (C.2) and narrow-learning (H) DROP categories.

Changes

• skills/continuous-learning/SKILL.md — Step 2 now requires one printed line recording the search and the branch taken, before continuing to Step 3:

KB search: "<query>" -> <n> hits, <what they covered> -> <branch taken, and the file edited or created>

This mirrors the existing rationale for Step 4's visible checks ("Hidden reasoning is easy to skip; printed output is reviewable") and adds no new mechanism — just makes an already-mandatory step auditable.

• Fixes The capture skill's duplicate search is its least-enforced gate #22

Pull request overview

This PR updates the continuous-learning capture skill to make Step 2’s knowledge-base duplicate search auditable by requiring a single printed log line that records the search and the chosen branch (skip/edit/create), aligning Step 2 with Step 4’s “visible checks” rationale from Issue #22.

Changes:

• Add a Step 2 requirement to print one log line summarizing the KB search and the decision branch taken.
• Provide a concrete example format for that log line in the skill instructions.
