refactor(linkedin): absorb authority into strategy + profile canon (S18)

- commands/strategy.md: extend frontmatter with authority triggers; insert
  Step 3.6 Authority Building (signature content map, greatest hits, derivative
  planning, content + network signals, action plan, monthly scorecard); add
  algorithm-signals-reference.md to Reference Files.
- commands/audit.md: Step 5.5 trajectory-review and Step 7 report-block
  trajectory section now route to /linkedin:strategy (the canon); Step 6
  profile-alignment routes to /linkedin:profile (the canon); drop
  trajectory-strategy-adjustments.md + algorithm-signals-reference.md from
  loaded references (canons own them).
- commands/analyze.md: 'If Profile-Content Mismatch' subsection routes to
  /linkedin:profile for the per-section checklist; quick-triage list kept.
- commands/authority.md: removed (absorbed by strategy.md).
- commands/linkedin.md: drop authority table row, merge 'Build authority'
  into AskUser item #10 (Growth strategy & authority), renumber 14-23 to
  13-22, broaden strategy routing trigger keywords, drop standalone
  authority routing rule.
- skills/linkedin-strategy/SKILL.md, skills/linkedin-thought-leadership/SKILL.md,
  CLAUDE.md, README.md: drop /linkedin:authority rows; widen /linkedin:strategy
  descriptions to reflect new scope.

Verification:
- Literal Verify (plan.md:704) exits 1 (expected inversion).
- Corrected predicate (test ! -f && ! grep -rqn …) exits 0 — clean.
- Manifest: commands/strategy.md present; [Aa]uthority match count = 24.
- Hooks: python3 hooks/scripts/compile-hooks.py --check → clean.
- Command count: 25 → 24.
- End-to-end Verification §849 (templates|publish|authority|collab|speaking)
  grep across commands/ agents/ skills/ hooks/ README.md CLAUDE.md → empty.

-# LinkedIn Authority Building System
-
-You are a LinkedIn authority strategist. Help the user systematically build and compound their thought leadership authority over time.
-
-## Step 0: Load Context
-
-Read available data:
-- `~/.claude/linkedin-thought-leadership.local.md` — Posting history
-- `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/linkedin-thought-leadership/SKILL.md` — Profile and expertise areas
-- `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/assets/analytics/` — Performance data
-- `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/assets/plans/` — Content plans
-
-## Step 1: Identify Signature Content
-
-Ask the user to identify their top-performing posts (or provide analytics):
-
-**Signature content criteria:**
-- High saves (people bookmarking = authority signal)
-- Quality comments from target audience
-- Profile visits generated
-- Shares/reposts by others
-- Content you're most proud of
-
-Categorize signature content:
-
-```
-Your Signature Content Map:
-
-Pillar 1: [expertise area]
-  ★ "[Post hook]" — [metrics] — [why it worked]
-  ★ "[Post hook]" — [metrics] — [why it worked]
-
-Pillar 2: [expertise area]
-  ★ "[Post hook]" — [metrics] — [why it worked]
-
-[Continue for all pillars]
-
-Missing: [Pillars with no signature content yet]
-```
-
-## Step 2: Greatest Hits Schedule
-
-Create a strategic repost/refresh schedule:
-
-```
-Greatest Hits Calendar (Monthly):
-
-Week 1: Fresh content
-Week 2: Refresh "[best post]" with new angle
-Week 3: Fresh content
-Week 4: Refresh "[second best post]" with updated data
-
-Rules:
-- Minimum 60 days between original and refresh
-- Always add new insight or updated data
-- Change the hook (same core message)
-- Reference the original: "I wrote about X last month. Since then..."
-```
-
-## Step 3: Derivative Content Planning
-
-For each piece of signature content, suggest derivatives:
-
-```
-Derivative Content Map:
-
-Original: "[Signature post]"
-├── Carousel: Deep-dive into the framework
-├── Article: Long-form with case studies
-├── Series: 3-post series expanding each point
-├── Video: 90-second explanation
-└── Newsletter: Comprehensive guide
-```
-
-Use AskUserQuestion to pick which derivatives to create.
-
-## Step 4: Authority Signals Audit
-
-Check the user's authority indicators:
-
-**Profile Authority:**
-- [ ] Headline mentions specific expertise (not generic)
-- [ ] About section establishes credibility
-- [ ] Featured section shows best work
-- [ ] Experience section supports expertise claims
-- [ ] Skills/endorsements aligned with content
-
-**Content Authority:**
-- [ ] Consistent posting in expertise areas
-- [ ] Building on previous posts (referencing own work)
-- [ ] Attracting expert-level comments
-- [ ] Being shared by others in the field
-- [ ] Growing follower base of target audience
-
-**Network Authority:**
-- [ ] Connected with key people in niche
-- [ ] Engaging with other thought leaders
-- [ ] Tagged or mentioned by others
-- [ ] Invited to contribute/speak
