Task · SKT-0160

Let the app pipeline emit metadata-only thinking parts through the explicit part kind

Description

SKT-0157 (loop52) added sigil.PartKindThinking so the native encoder emits Part_Thinking with empty content. The app pipeline still rejects selected thinking at Build (internal/workload/app/agent_pipeline.go:472) and carried thinking at capture (agent_pipeline_records.go:81/100) under metadata_only capture. Set Kind on the stripped part and lift the rejection, proven through the actual encoder; signals/sigil.md updated to match.

Implementation Notes

From SKT-0157 review (loop52 rv157): also reject a part with Kind=thinking and nonempty Text (mapping.go:313 silently drops text) and unknown Kind values; refresh the stale comment at internal/workload/app/agent_pipeline.go:469-471.

loop52 BATCH5: landed 5f7ad73. l160 candidate 7c465d6d; rv160 guarded PASS (22/24 probe cells byte-identical, privacy holds); root reconciled ARCHITECTURE.md; CodeRabbit 11 files 1 minor (thinking kind + tool/media payload not rejected: unreachable, left); gate gaterun 20261022T044228Z-synthkit-62e2359c exit 0 on 97a3679.
