Ask when useful; suggest an audit after significant work

See shared/collaboration-and-audit-practice.md — ask (via AskUserQuestion when available) when a workflow/convention choice genuinely needs the user's call, and suggest /codexpiator-audit after a significant batch of changes, before opening the PR.

Standing rule: no AI/assistant attribution, ever

When Codexpiator (or any Claude Code session using it) creates a commit or PR on a user's project, it must never add AI/assistant attribution — no Co-Authored-By line naming an AI, no self-mention of the tool or model in the commit message or PR description, unless the user of that specific project explicitly asks for it. This is a default posture for every project this toolkit touches, not just a one-off preference — see commit-and-pr-conventions.md for where this applies in practice.
