What wiki-mode does
This skill returns filing suggestions. It does not write knowledge pages or move existing notes. If `.vault-meta/mode.json` is absent, use `generic`. If the file exists but is invalid, fail closed and repair it through a reviewed configuration operation before suggesting routes; never silently substitute Generic for corrupt user configuration.
