feat(extension): present restricted commands as absent and trim skills

Integrators that build their own lark-cli distribution can now ship a
package where everything they cut out truly disappears, instead of
lingering as half-disabled stubs that mislead users and agents.

Commands an integrator plugin restricts no longer show up in help or
completion, and invoking one (including asking for its help) answers
"command not included in this build" (subtype command_unavailable) with
no policy vocabulary and no dead-end recovery steering. Integrators can
replace that message with their own product wording via
Rule.DeniedMessage. Cutting a whole domain also retires everything that
points at it: --profile hides and rejects use when the profile domain
goes, the skills-setup footer, update notices, and the auth-login
recovery hint stop rendering when their domains go.

The policy self-inspection commands (config policy show / plugins show)
stay executable by default so operators can still see which rule locked
the build, hidden from help but available on request. Fully-managed
distributions can retire even those with HideDiagnostics().

Plugins can also trim the embedded skills to match: EmbeddedSkills
removes, overlays, or replaces entries over the CLI's built-in set, and
skills list/read plus every help pointer serve the same trimmed tree.

Users who write their own ~/.lark-cli/policy.yml see no change: their
denials stay visible and keep explaining how to adjust the policy they
own. Default builds are byte-for-byte unchanged.

+### JSON Output Contract
+
+With `--format json` (the default), success and error envelopes are distinct.
+
+Success goes to **stdout**, exit code `0`:
+
+```json
+{ "ok": true, "identity": "user", "data": { "guid": "..." }, "meta": { "count": 1 } }
+```
+
+Errors go to **stderr**, non-zero exit code:
+
+```json
+{ "ok": false, "identity": "user", "error": { "type": "api", "subtype": "...", "code": 99991679, "message": "...", "hint": "..." } }
+```
+
+To check whether a command succeeded, test `ok == true` (or the exit code) — **not** `code == 0`. Unlike raw OpenAPI responses (`{"code": 0, "msg": "ok", ...}`), the success envelope carries no `code` or `msg` field; `code` appears only inside `error` as the upstream OpenAPI code. See [errs/ERROR_CONTRACT.md](errs/ERROR_CONTRACT.md) for the full error taxonomy.

+Both service-API commands (`## messages get`) and `+`-prefixed shortcuts

+nothing. Point a command at its own reference (e.g. `+search-user` →

+domain skill, which the `> skill:` default already covers. When a shortcut also
+sets a hand-authored `Tips` list in Go, the overlay's `### Tips` win — they

+## +search-user
+The primary user lookup for user identity: search by keyword or email, resolve known ids with --user-ids, or get yourself with --user-ids me — it does by-id reads too, so as a user you rarely need `+get-user`. Each match returns an open_id and p2p_chat_id to chain into follow-ups.
+
+### Skills
+- lark-contact/references/lark-contact-search-user.md
+
+### Avoid when
+- Running as a bot — this shortcut is user-only; use [[+get-user]] instead (it supports bot identity)
+- You only need users' personal status for ids you already hold → use [[user_profiles batch_query]]
+
+### Examples
+
+**Find a user by name**
+```bash
+lark-cli contact +search-user --query "alice" --as user
+```
+
+**Fetch known users by open_id (me = yourself)**
+```bash
+lark-cli contact +search-user --user-ids "ou_3a8b****6a7b,me" --as user
+```
+
+## +get-user
+Fetch one user's profile by id, or your own with --user-id omitted. Use it under bot identity — `+search-user` is user-only.
+
+### Skills
+- lark-contact/references/lark-contact-get-user.md
+
+### Avoid when
+- You don't have the user's id yet, or want to match by name/keyword → use [[+search-user]]
+- Running as a user — [[+search-user]] --user-ids covers by-id reads and more in one tool
+
+### Tips
+- Self lookup (omit --user-id) needs user identity; a bot must pass --user-id
+- --user-id-type must match the id you pass (default open_id)
+
 ## user_profiles batch_query
 Bulk-fetch personal status and signature for user ids you already have.

+  skill tree — `Allow` keeps only the listed skills (the allow-list
+  counterpart of `Rule.Allow`, so a CLI upgrade cannot widen the build;
+  `Remove` wins over `Allow`, and `Overlay` entries are exempt), `Remove`
+  drops skills, `Overlay` adds/replaces ones, or swap the whole `Base` —
+  layered over the CLI default. Unlike `Restrict()`
+  it is NOT a security boundary and does not imply `FailClosed`: it
+  shapes fail-open guidance content. Removing a skill only drops its
+  `skills read` / `--help` guidance — it does NOT disable the matching
+  commands (use `Restrict()` for that). Only ONE plugin per binary may
+  contribute a `SkillsOverlay`; two DISTINCT plugins is a deliberate
+  `multiple_skills_overlay_plugins` error.
+- A command denied by a **plugin** Rule presents as absent, not as
+  forbidden: it leaves `--help` and completion, explicit help on it is
+  intercepted, and invoking it answers `subtype=command_unavailable`
+  with no policy vocabulary and no recovery hint. Set
+  `Rule.DeniedMessage` to replace the default
+  "command not included in this build" with your product's own wording.
+  yaml-source denials keep the classic `command_denied` presentation —
+  the user owns that policy and needs to see how to adjust it. Denying a
+  whole domain also retires what points at it: `--profile` (profile
+  domain) hides and rejects use, the root-help skills footer (skills),
+  update notices (update), and the `auth login` recovery hint (auth)
+  stop rendering.
+- `config policy show` / `config plugins show` stay executable under any
+  plugin policy (hidden from help when their domain is denied) so an
+  operator can still inspect the rule that locked the build. An
+  integrator shipping a fully-managed distribution opts out with
+  `HideDiagnostics()` — requires `Restrict()` on the same plugin.
