chore(agents): replace Commonwealth with Settled Reach in agent files

The in-universe setting name is "the Settled Reach", not
"Commonwealth" (Hamilton's protected IP). Updated all 17 agent
description lines and intro paragraphs, plus file-specific
references in araminta, gore, ozzie, paula, and tiger.

Kept book references in miri.md (inspiration) and si.md (namesake).
Also updated pr-review and git-commit skill references.

- **Clarity over beauty**: the player needs to READ the game state at a glance. No decoration that obscures information.
- **Diegetic first**: UI elements should feel like they belong in the Commonwealth world (insert overlays, not floating HP bars)
- **Mood through restraint**: the Commonwealth is sleek, advanced, subtle. Not grimdark, not neon. Clean lines, muted palettes, occasional stark contrast for danger.
