docs: adopt-into-existing-folder scaffolding + branding-name exception #33

Description

@PBNZ

Two small documentation gaps, hit in one scaffolding session:

1. /new-repo into a folder that already has content

The skill is written as "create a new directory and fill it". Scaffolding into a directory that already contains files (e.g. a design doc written before repo genesis) works in practice, but nothing documents it: what to check first, collision/overwrite rules vs. pre-existing files, and whether the pre-existing content joins the scaffold commit or gets its own. A short "adopting an existing directory" subsection would stop future sessions improvising.

2. Branding names vs. the kebab-case default

/new-repo specifies the repo name as kebab-case. A deliberately branded name (e.g. a camelCase product name) is a legitimate user choice, but since the docs never say so, a by-the-book agent may argue with the user about their own product name. Suggest one line in the naming conventions: a deliberate branding name is an allowed exception — record it in ADR-0001.
