Add use-pi-in-pane skill#48

The `use-pi-subagent` skill runs pi fully headless in JSON mode: the agent drives it and parses its output, but there is no way to watch it work. When you want to see pi as it runs, the only option was to give up the structured log and drive it interactively yourself. Add a sibling `use-pi-in-pane` skill that keeps the headless JSON contract but runs pi inside a visible tmux pane. A `run-pi-pane.sh` wrapper splits a new tmux pane, streams a prose-only view via `pretty.jq`, and captures the full raw `.jsonl` with `tee` upstream of the pretty-printer so the log survives even if the view hiccups. It blocks until pi exits, then reports the log paths and exit status back to the caller, just like the headless flow. The wrapper runs its pane command from a generated script file rather than `bash -c`, since the pipeline itself contains single quotes, and guards on `pane_dead` so it can never hang if the pane closes early or the user has `remain-on-exit on`.
