docs(skills): ban programmatic text repair on generated bitmaps

Add a text-correction policy to all raster-image skills: title/subtitle/labels/dialogue/etc. inside generated bitmaps must NOT be patched with ImageMagick, Pillow, Canvas, SVG, HTML/CSS, OCR overlays, or any other programmatic painter. On error, regenerate from a corrected prompt or switch to a lower-text variant.

Synced to: baoyu-cover-image, baoyu-article-illustrator, baoyu-comic, baoyu-image-cards, baoyu-xhs-images, baoyu-infographic, baoyu-slide-deck.

Text correction policy:
- If any rendered text (labels, captions, etc.) is misspelled, garbled, hard to read, or visually weak, do not patch the bitmap with code.
- For text-correction regenerations, write a new prompt file and a new output path so the flawed candidate is preserved for comparison.
- Post-processing is limited to crop, resize, compression, or format conversion that does not alter text or the main composition.
