release SKILL.md invokes every script bare, but packaging ships them 0644

Split out of #463, where Copilot raised it against the one step that PR adds.

skills/release/SKILL.md invokes each of its scripts as a bare path:

skills/release/poll-pr-reviews.sh <owner> <repo> <pr-number>
skills/release/watch-pr-reviews.sh <owner> <repo> <pr-number>
skills/release/request-copilot-review.sh <owner> <repo> <pr-number>
skills/release/dismiss-stale-reviews.sh <owner> <repo> <pr-number>

That works from a clone of this repo, where git preserves the 0755 mode. It does not work from an installed plugin: tessl packaging normalizes plugin files to 0644, so a bare invocation is permission denied before the script runs. Other skills in this plugin carry the bash prefix for exactly that reason.

The fix is the whole file at once, not one step. rules/skill-authoring.md Script References forbids mixing the two conventions inside one SKILL.md, so converting a single invocation is worse than leaving it — which is why #463 left its own step matching its neighbours and filed this instead.

Scope

• Decide whether skills/release is ever executed from an installed plugin, or only from a clone of this repo. If only from a clone, the bare form is correct and this closes as documentation on the SKILL.md.
• If it can run installed: prefix every script invocation in skills/release/SKILL.md with bash , in one change, and check the other skills' SKILL.md files for the same split.

Read rules/skill-authoring.md under Script References and inspect skills/release/SKILL.md first. Determine whether skills/release runs from installed plugins, then search other skills' SKILL.md files for mixed script-invocation conventions. Done means the execution context is resolved and all applicable invocations consistently use the documented form.
