the repo carries no .claude/: the run switches move into CONTRIBUTING (#28)

The probe skill was a Claude-only file, and its promises held on one machine: its shield needs an
account named probe and digits, which CONTRIBUTING never asks for, and its long-run advice was
macOS's. The switches every checkout has for an unattended run are plain text in CONTRIBUTING
now, read by any tool; METHOD points there, AGENTS.md drops the skills folder, and .gitignore
leaves .claude/ to each person.

+  - On vmangos, `WOW_RIG="tauren druid 60 gear:heal-preraid-bis spec:heal-preraid-bis
+    at:ThunderBluff"` finds or creates that character on the account and applies the server's
+    premade sets (`WOW_RIG="gear:?"` lists them). `WOW_PROBE_CHAT="<command>"` sends one GM
+    command and logs the reply as `net: server says`. An account named `probe` and digits is
+    shielded: every world entry sends `.cheat god on`, `.die` clears it for a death test, and
+    `WOW_GOD=off` leaves it off.
+  - A trace is `WOW_MOVE_TRACE=<file>`, filtered with `WOW_MOVE_TRACE_TAGS` (`"move,snd,in"`) and
+    ended by `WOW_PROBE_EXIT_AT=<seconds>`; grep it for the `rly` and `snd` lines.
+  - A capture runs through `scripts/visual.sh`, whose recipe is the header of
+    `crates/benilla-app/src/capture/mod.rs`. Pixel questions go through `benilla-visual crop`,
+    `series` and `hotspot`.
 - **The loop.** `cargo play` builds and runs the play profile. `scripts/check.sh` verifies a
   round of work; `scripts/gates.sh` is the full chain, and it opens a window for the engine boot
   checks, so it needs a display. Work on a branch.
