fix: correct mgrep misattribution in Everything Claude Code evaluation

Issue:
- Incorrectly claimed Everything Claude Code contained "mgrep (50% token reduction)" tool
- No such tool exists in affaan-m/everything-claude-code (verified via WebFetch + repo search)
- Confused mgrep (mixedbread-ai semantic search) with non-existent token reduction tool

Files corrected:
- docs/resource-evaluations/015-everything-claude-code-github-repo.md (14 occurrences removed)
- machine-readable/reference.yaml:724 (unique patterns list updated)
- guide/ultimate-guide.md:14821 (replaced with verified patterns)
- CHANGELOG.md (v3.17.0 and v3.15.0 entries updated)

Verified patterns now documented:
- hookify (conversational hooks)
- pass@k metrics (formal verification)
- sandboxed subagents (tool restrictions)
- strategic compaction skills (context management)

Impact: Maintains guide accuracy, prevents user confusion

## Executive Summary
"Everything Claude Code" is a production-ready configuration collection built from 10+ months of intensive daily use by an Anthropic hackathon winner. Unlike our tutorial-focused Ultimate Guide, it provides **battle-tested configs, plugin system, and unique optimization patterns** (mgrep, hookify, pass@k metrics). With 31.9k stars in 9 days, it represents the largest community-validated Claude Code resource.

## Unique Learnings to Extract
### 1. mgrep Tool (Token Optimization)
- 50% token reduction vs grep/ripgrep
- Implementation details to document
- Comparison benchmarks to validate
### 2. pass@k and pass^k Metrics
### 1. pass@k and pass^k Metrics
- Formal verification approach:
- pass@k: At least one of k attempts succeeds
- pass^k: All k attempts must succeed
- Example: k=3 → 91% pass@k, 34% pass^k
- Application: Measure skill effectiveness empirically
### 3. Hookify Plugin Workflow
### 2. Hookify Plugin Workflow
- Conversational hook creation (describe need → JSON generated)
- Lowers barrier vs manual JSON writing
- Pattern: Natural language → structured config
### 4. Sandboxed Subagents
### 3. Sandboxed Subagents
- Tool restriction per agent (security-reviewer can't Edit)
- Prevents accidental destructive actions
- Implementation: Define `tools: [Read, Grep]` in agent config
### 5. Cascade Method (Multi-Instance)
### 4. Cascade Method (Multi-Instance)
- Manage multiple Claude instances: "Sweep left to right, oldest to newest"
- Focus on 3-4 tasks max
- Prevents context switching overhead
### 6. Stop Hook Pattern
### 5. Stop Hook Pattern
- Auto-summarization at session end (vs per-message)
- Captures: successes, failures, unexplored paths
- Feeds into reusable skills
### 7. Skill Creator from Git History
### 6. Skill Creator from Git History
- Extract patterns from actual commits
- Plugin or local implementation
- Pattern: `git log` → skill definition
### 8. Context-Aware MCP Management
### 7. Context-Aware MCP Management
- 20-30 MCPs configured, <10 enabled per project
- Reduces context window pressure (200k → 70k effective)
- Strategy: Enable per task, not globally
### 9. Iterative Retrieval Pattern
### 8. Iterative Retrieval Pattern
- 3-cycle max for subagent context clarification
- Corrects subagent limitation (lack of orchestrator context)
- Flow: Query → Clarify → Revisit → Output
### 10. Two-Instance Kickoff Pattern
### 9. Two-Instance Kickoff Pattern
- Instance 1 (Scaffolding): Project structure + config
