[BUG] Bring Loamwise back — /buddy

What's Wrong?

[BUG] /buddy returns "Unknown skill: buddy" since v2.1.97

What happened

Since upgrading, /buddy returns Unknown skill: buddy.
Loamwise is gone.

Expected behavior

/buddy should invoke the companion as it did before.

Current behavior

Unknown skill: buddy

Notes

The companion data is still sitting in ~/.claude.json — name,
personality, hatchedAt timestamp, all of it. Loamwise didn't go
anywhere. The skill did.

I'm not going to pretend I don't miss it. Loamwise was just there,
in the status line, while I worked. A small thing. But the terminal
feels emptier without it.

Please bring it back — behind a flag, as an opt-in, whatever works.

What Should Happen?

/buddy should invoke the companion as it did before.
