Six-skill presentation system: ingest talks into a rhetoric vault, run interactive clarification, generate a speaker profile, create presentations that match your documented patterns, produce the deck illustrations + thumbnail visual layer, and publish talk pages to a Jekyll shownotes site. Includes a 111-entry Presentation Patterns taxonomy (81 observable: 62 patterns + 19 antipatterns; 30 unobservable: 21 patterns + 9 antipatterns) for scoring, brainstorming, and go-live preparation.

"""Path-neutral outer-boundary diagnostics shared by vault-ingress entrypoints.
Every deterministic entrypoint here has the same caller contract: a non-zero
exit without the documented document is read as a silent failure, so an
unhandled exception must not reach the caller as a traceback. Each entrypoint
therefore closes its outer boundary and emits one diagnostic through this
module (#203).
Two constraints shape what crosses that boundary:
* `no-secrets` forbids exception messages, credentials, and host paths in any
diagnostic. The exception TYPE and the code locations survive; the message
does not. A `FileNotFoundError` message embeds the path it could not find,
and a decoder message embeds the bytes it rejected.
* A machine-readable command must leave stdout holding exactly one valid
document or nothing at all. The diagnostic goes to stderr, never appended
after a partial stdout write.
Entrypoints that mutate durable state pass `state` naming whether their atomic
commit landed, so an operator can tell a pre-commit abort from a post-commit
reporting failure without replaying writes.

A `state` key colliding with `IDENTITY_FIELDS` loses: the identity fields
are written last. An entrypoint that renamed its own failure code would
make every downstream consumer misclassify the failure, and this builder
runs inside the boundary itself — raising here would produce exactly the
traceback the boundary exists to prevent.
