Cleanup Ephemerals

Category: General  ·  Sub-category: general-misc  ·  Last updated:
Sweeps ~/.claude/skills/*/.maxv-source.json for ephemeral=true entries at SessionEnd. Deletes those below promote_threshold (default 5 uses); promotes those at/above threshold by rewriting ephemeral=false. Invoked automatically by the SessionEnd hook unless reason=resume. Backward compat — v1.0.0 manifests with no ephemeral field are treated as permanent.
