Setup Steward
Adopt and maintain the apache-steward framework in a project repo using the snapshot-based adoption mechanism. The single framework artefact that lives **committed** in an adopter's repo — every other framework skill is a symlink into a gitignored snapshot this skill manages. Sub-actions: `/setup-steward` — first-time adoption (default) `/setup-steward upgrade` — refresh the gitignored snapshot per the committed lock `/setup-steward verify` — health check + drift detection `/setup-steward override <skill>` — open or scaffold an agentic override for a framework skill in `.apache-steward-overrides/`
