fix: populate root knowledge base with bootstrap data

The root skills/gh-aw-report/knowledge-base.md was an empty template while
the .claude/ version had populated bootstrap data. The gh-aw workflow runs
on GitHub Actions and reads from the repo root, not .claude/, so the root
copy must contain the actual knowledge base entries.

+### Claude Code / Anthropic GitHub Integration (as of 2026-04-14)
+- GitHub MCP Server installation guide for Claude: `github/github-mcp-server/docs/installation-guides/install-claude.md`
+- Claude Code connects to GitHub MCP Server via `claude mcp add-json github` (HTTP) or Docker
+- `steipete/claude-code-mcp`: Claude Code as a one-shot MCP server ("agent in your agent")
+- Copilot natively reads `CLAUDE.md` instruction files in agentic workflows
+- Claude can serve as the AI agent in gh-aw workflows (alternative to Copilot CLI)
+
+### Community / Ecosystem (as of 2026-04-14)
+- `githubnext/awesome-continuous-ai`: Curated list of Continuous AI actions and frameworks
+- `githubnext/agentics`: Sample pack of gh-aw workflows (community starter kit)
+- `0GiS0/github-agentic-workflows`: Community implementation with Daily Status Report bot
+- HN thread on gh-aw preview: news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46934107
+- GitHub blog post: "Continuous AI in practice: What developers can automate today"
+- InfoQ coverage: "GitHub Agentic Workflows Unleash AI-Driven Repository Automation" (Feb 2026)
+- April 2026: GitHub integrates AI for accessibility issue management and feedback triage
+
+### Architecture Notes (stable)
+- gh-aw is NOT a replacement for deterministic CI/CD — it augments it ("Continuous AI")
+- Workflows run in isolated containers with read-only repo access by default
+- AWF (Agent Workflow Firewall) restricts network egress
+- Safe Outputs subsystem handles write operations in separate permission-controlled jobs
+- Threat detection job runs per-workflow: prompt injection, credential leaks, malicious code
