ship skills: lifecycle record --apply now owns index refresh + active.md prune

PyAutoMind@aba2ce5 folded the active.md section prune into
lifecycle.py record --apply (the index refresh was already folded in by

'drop the active.md entry' instructions — the forgotten manual active.md
edit is what turned every Mind push red 2026-07-28→30.
