Fix unreachable Enter-as-default prompts in gh-weld-repo

[WrathZA]

Summary

The gh-weld-repo interview offered several defaults selectable only by pressing Enter ([public], "Enter alone selects none", [<inferred>]), but Claude Code's CLI can't submit an empty line — so those defaults were unreachable and could strand the user. This fix binds each default to an explicit keypress and adds a NEVER rule to prevent regression.

Scope expanded during the session to cover all five skill-forge-judge findings for gh-weld-repo (shipped together in PR #82).

Acceptance Criteria

• Phase 2 visibility, license, and name prompts select their default via an explicit keypress (no [default] / "press Enter")
• The NEVER list contains a rule forbidding Enter-as-default, citing that Claude Code's CLI can't submit empty lines
• gh repo edit topic calls source <owner>/<name> from the gh repo create output rather than an unbound placeholder
• Push uses the actual current branch (git branch --show-current) instead of only falling back main→master
• Phase 2 opens with a "what makes a good repo name / description / topics" mindset frame

Session Summary

• Judged gh-weld-repo → B (134/150), 5 numbered improvements (scored U+S+B) — line 1249
• HITL loop cut short after item 2 — adopted only the working-tree changes (items 1–2, the Enter-default fixes); items 3–5 deferred — line 1560
• Adopted the work → this issue Fix unreachable Enter-as-default prompts in gh-weld-repo #81 + branch fix/81-gh-weld-repo-enter-default — line 1740

Deferred to follow-up (judge items 3–5): source <owner> for gh repo edit, generalize the push branch fallback beyond main↔master, and add a U2 "think about" frame.

Ran the audit loop on gh-weld-repo — judge → hitl → adopt. Scored U + S + B (150 pts) → B, 134/150 (89%), held below A mainly by an Enter-as-default prompt pattern that Claude Code's CLI can't actually submit. The HITL pass applied the two Enter-default fixes (Phase 2 prompts + a new NEVER rule) before being cut short; those two are what this issue captures.

Shipped all five skill-forge-judge findings for gh-weld-repo (scope expanded from the original items 1–2 to the full set).

What changed:

• Enter-as-default removed from Phase 2 (visibility, license, name) and a NEVER rule added so it can't return — the documented defaults were unreachable since the CLI can't submit empty lines
• gh repo edit topic calls now source <owner>/<name> from the gh repo create output
• Push uses the actual current branch by name instead of only main↔master
• Phase 2 gained a mindset frame on what makes a good repo name / description / topics

All five acceptance criteria verified against the merged diff.

Shipped in PR #82.
