Update FlowStudio Power Automate skills (#1664)

* feat(flowstudio): align Power Automate skills with MCP server v1.1.6

Foundation skill (flowstudio-power-automate-mcp) rewritten to use the
server's new tool_search and list_skills meta-tools (v1.1.5+) for
discovery instead of cataloging every tool by hand. Cut from 519 to
295 lines. New "Which Skill to Use When" intent-keyed decision tree
points at the four specialized skills.

Build/debug/governance/monitoring updated for use-case framing. Tools
that genuinely cross tiers (e.g. debug skill borrowing
get_store_flow_summary) are correct when the workflow needs them — the
split between skills is by use-case intent, not by tool partition.

Build skill: new Step 3a Resolving Dynamic Connector Values covers
get_live_dynamic_options outer-parameter auto-bridge (v1.1.6+) and the
AadGraph user-picker fallback via shared_office365users.SearchUserV2
(replaces broken builtInOperation:AadGraph.GetUsers).

Debug skill: Outlook user-picker failure note pointing at the fallback.

Monitoring skill description disambiguates from the server's monitor-flow
tool bundle (runtime control of a single flow) — this skill is
tenant-wide health analytics over the cached store.

All 5 skills validate via npm run skill:validate; line endings LF only;
codespell clean; auto-regenerated docs/README.skills.md included.

* fix(flowstudio): remove deprecated tool references

The v1.1.5 MCP server release marked 5 tools [DEPRECATED] but the
previous alignment commit missed them. Replacements per server source:

- get_live_flow_http_schema → read trigger.inputs.schema from get_live_flow
- get_live_flow_trigger_url → read trigger.metadata.callbackUrl from get_live_flow
- get_store_flow_trigger_url → get_store_flow.triggerUrl field
- get_store_flow_errors → get_store_flow_runs(status=["Failed"])
- set_store_flow_state → set_live_flow_state

Touches build, debug, governance, monitoring SKILL.md and the
foundation skill's tool-reference.md. Remaining mentions of the
deprecated names are intentional — they live in deprecation notices
naming the obsolete wrapper alongside its replacement.

* Update FlowStudio Power Automate skills

* Cover latest FlowStudio MCP actions

* Trim FlowStudio Power Automate skills

* Number FlowStudio build workflow steps

**Pro+ subscription required.** Tenant-wide Power Automate flow health
monitoring, failure rate analytics, and asset inventory using the FlowStudio
MCP cached store. Load this skill ONLY for tenant-wide aggregated views — not
for listing flows in a single environment or debugging a specific run (use
power-automate-mcp or power-automate-debug for those). Not the same as the
server's `monitor-flow` tool bundle (`tool_search query: "skill:monitor-flow"`)
— that bundle is for runtime control of a single flow (start/stop/trigger/
cancel/resubmit); this skill is for tenant-wide health analytics over the
cached store.
Load when asked to: monitor tenant health, get aggregated failure rates over
a time window, review tenant-wide error trends, find inactive makers across
the tenant, inventory all Power Apps in the tenant, compute governance scores,
generate a compliance report, or run a tenant-wide health overview. Requires

FlowStudio MCP cached store: failure rates, run-health trends, maker/app
inventory, inactive owners, and compliance/health reports. Use only for
aggregated tenant views. For one environment, one flow, run control, or
root-cause debugging, use flowstudio-power-automate-mcp, flowstudio-power-automate-debug, or the
server monitor-flow bundle. Requires FlowStudio for Teams or MCP Pro+.

Use `set_live_flow_state` from the `monitor-flow` server bundle. The cache
catches up on the next daily scan; if you need cache freshness sooner, call
`get_live_flow` after the state change to confirm and let the next scan sync.
