fix(cortex): align KNOWLEDGE_CATEGORIES with current schema.md

[TechNickAI]

Problem

The cortex CLI's hardcoded category list was from the old schema and no longer matches skills/cortex/schema.md.

Old (broken): entities, concepts, summaries, synthesis, decisions, how-to
Schema says: people, ventures, topics, synthesis, decisions, learning, research

Result: cortex status, cortex rebuild-index, and fresh cortex setup all referenced directories that don't exist in stores built against the current schema. A store with 366 valid pages reported only 21 because the CLI only counted the obsolete category names.

Fix

• KNOWLEDGE_CATEGORIES now matches schema.md exactly
• MEMORY.md routing template links to people/ instead of entities/
• EXTRA_DIRECTORIES drops the duplicate learning entry (now in main list)

Verification

Ran cortex status against my live store after the patch:

Category     Pages
------------ -----
people         228
ventures        47
topics          60
synthesis        5
decisions       16
learning         3
research         7
------------ -----
Total          366

Pre-patch: 21 pages. Post-patch: 366 pages — matches actual filesystem contents.

Risk

Low. The change is data-only (a list literal + two string templates). No behavior change for stores already on the new schema — they were just invisible to the CLI before this.

Setup dirs vs deployed schema

Medium Severity

Fresh cortex setup now creates people/, ventures/, and related directories from KNOWLEDGE_CATEGORIES, but _deploy_schema still copies schema-template.md, which instructs agents to use entities/, concepts/, summaries/, and how-to/. New stores get mismatched folders and operating rules.

Learning ops files counted

Low Severity

Adding learning to KNOWLEDGE_CATEGORIES makes cortex status count every .md in learning/ except index.md. Setup always creates learning/corrections.md and learning/patterns.md, so those operational logs inflate “Knowledge Pages” and the reported total even though they are not compiled knowledge pages.

Synchronize category list with deployed schema template

Updating KNOWLEDGE_CATEGORIES to people/ventures/topics/... without updating the schema that cortex setup deploys introduces a behavioral mismatch: _deploy_schema() still copies skills/cortex/schema-template.md, which instructs agents to use entities/concepts/summaries/how-to. On fresh setups this can send new pages into directories the CLI no longer scans in status/rebuild-index, causing missing counts and stale indexes again. Please update the deployed schema template (store layout + page type table) in the same change.
