refactor: Drop product-area detection, just tag the caller's product name

Per-repo file-path -> product-area mapping was more granularity than
needed for a Slack pulse feed. The product field is now always the
calling repo's name (e.g. "Elementor" or "Elementor Pro"), passed as
a plain product-name input instead of a product-areas-file.

This removes the whole Product Area Detection section from the shared
prompt, drops the AI's product classification (and its validation),
and lets callers drop their per-repo areas file entirely.
