Completes the source_file convention fix begun in #1344 (build_merge
replace-on-re-extract) and #1361 (pass root= to build_merge in the --update
runbook). Two gaps still let the full build and incremental --update emit
different source_file bases for the same file, so the source_file-keyed replace
missed and duplicates accumulated:
1. extraction-spec(.md/-compact.md): the subagent's source_file slot was an
unpinned "relative/path", so it invented a base per run (and the node id,
derived from the same path, drifted too). Pin it to the verbatim FILE_LIST
path so _norm_source_file(root) canonicalizes every run identically.
2. core.md: the full build called build_from_json WITHOUT root=, so #1361's
update-side root= had no matching base on the full-build side. Pass
root='INPUT_PATH' at both sites (Step 4 export, Step 5 report) so the full
build and --update relativize to the same base.
update.md prune_sources = deleted only. Changed files are replaced by build_merge
(#1344); once root= aligns the bases, leaving `changed` in prune_sources would
delete the freshly re-extracted nodes.
Engine (build.py) unchanged. Regenerated all skill artifacts via
tools/skillgen/gen.py. Adds test_build_merge_root_collapses_convention_drift.
