Replace writeConfigObject with AI-aware updateConfigObject (#1537)
## Summary

Replaces `writeConfigObject` (destructive overwrite) with
`updateConfigObject` — an async, AI-aware updater that preserves
user-authored config structure (imports, external file references,
helpers).

**Dual-path approach:**
- **Fast path** (deterministic, no AI): plain static literal configs →
`override()` + in-memory validation + atomic write
- **Agent path** (custom structure): configs with `import x from
"./file.txt" with { type: "text" }` etc. → Claude agent edits the
external files in place, then validates

**Safety guarantees:**
- Snapshot/restore: config + all relative imports are captured before
the agent runs; rolled back on any failure
- In-memory validation on fast path (never write unvalidated bytes)
- Semantic check when config is evaluable; no-op detection + structural
check when it isn't
- Path traversal guard on imports (rejects `../` escapes)
- Agent isolation: `settingSources: []`, `strictMcpConfig: true`,
`CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_AUTO_MEMORY`, no Bash tool
- `scheduleSync` only fires after a successful update
- Bounded 120s timeout on agent runs (configurable via env var)

CI failures are preexisting on `dev`
(`ERR_PNPM_LOCKFILE_CONFIG_MISMATCH` from overrides move without
lockfile regen); this branch has zero lockfile changes vs dev.

## Documentation

Docs for this feature were added in this branch:

- **New page**
`docs-mintlify/guides/going-further/local-development.mdx` — covers
`stack dev`, the development-environment flow, and how dashboard edits
are written back to the local config file (structure-preserving fast
path vs. assistant path, external `import … with { type: "text" }`
templates, validation + rollback). Added to `docs.json` nav; also fixes
the previously-broken `/guides/going-further/local-development` links
from `index.mdx` and `self-host.mdx`.
- **`docs-mintlify/guides/going-further/cli.mdx`** — added a `stack dev`
("Run a development environment") section.
- **Skill-site AI prompts** — filled in the `config-docs` and
`dashboard-instructions` placeholders under
`packages/stack-shared/src/ai/unified-prompts/skill-site-prompt-parts/`,
and added a structure-preserving note to the setup prompt.
- **`CHANGELOG.md`** — user-facing entry.
