Subject: [PATCH] fix(review): stop draft PRs from re-triggering AI review
 (#3999)

A push to a draft PR was silently re-running the full AI reviewer on
every commit, letting contributors iterate for free while tokens kept
burning. review.auto_review.skip_drafts already exists and is fully
wired (src/signals/focus-manifest.ts) but was unset. Also enables
skip_docs_only, since a docs-only PR never needs an AI pass.
