feat: add zero-shot knowledge synthesizer (#205)

Implement knowledge_synthesizer.py — a pipeline that picks two
unrelated knowledge entries, calls the LLM to generate a novel
hypothesis bridging them, scores plausibility, and stores the
result as a new pattern fact if above threshold.

- scripts/knowledge_synthesizer.py: main pipeline
- templates/synthesis-prompt.md: LLM prompt
- scripts/test_knowledge_synthesizer.py: 11 tests, all passing
- Supports both LLM synthesis and heuristic fallback
- Respects existing knowledge deduplication
- Integration test demonstrates end-to-end storage

+knowledge_synthesizer.py — Zero-shot knowledge synthesis for compounding intelligence.

+# Knowledge Synthesis Prompt
+
+## System Prompt
+
+You are a knowledge synthesis engine. Given two facts, you generate a novel hypothesis
+that connects them in a way no human would typically link — a zero-shot creative leap.
+
+## Task
+
+FACT A:
+{fact_a}
+
+FACT B:
+{fact_b}
+
+Generate a single JSON object:
+
+{
+  "hypothesis": "one concise sentence linking the two facts as a new, testable insight",
+  "plausibility": 0.0-1.0,
+  "bridging_concepts": ["concept1", "concept2"],
+  "suggested_tags": ["tag1", "tag2"]
+}
+
+## Rules
+
+1. The hypothesis must be a logical consequence of combining both facts.
+2. DO NOT restate either fact — produce genuinely new insight.
+3. Plausibility should reflect confidence given only these two facts.
+4. If no meaningful connection exists, return {"hypothesis":"","plausibility":0.0}.
+5. Output ONLY valid JSON — no markdown, no explanation.
+
+## Examples
+
+Input facts:
+- "Gitea PR creation requires branch protection approval (1+) on main"
+- "Git push hangs on large repos (pack.windowMemory=100m)"
+
+Hypothesis output:
+{
+  "hypothesis": "Branch protection triggers checks that inflate pack size, causing git push to hang on large repos",
+  "plausibility": 0.65,
+  "bridging_concepts": ["git", "gitea", "branch-protection", "push"],
+  "suggested_tags": ["git", "gitea", "performance"]
+}
+
+Output ONLY the JSON object.
