feat(3.7): P3 integration tests + store.py cleanup — Phase 3 complete

Epic 3.7: P3 Integration Tests + store.py Cleanup

✅ EPIC COMPLETE

Integration Tests (tests/test_p3_integration.py):
• 8 test classes with comprehensive workflows
• TestSkillLifecycleWorkflow: CRUD and batch operations
• TestConcurrentAccess: threading and async concurrency
• TestMigrationWorkflow: schema initialization
• TestEdgeCases: error conditions and empty state
• TestLineageAndAnalysisWorkflow: cross-module interaction
• TestSearchAndTagWorkflow: search engine integration
• TestSkillEvolutionWorkflow: evolution pipeline
• TestComprehensiveWorkflow: end-to-end scenarios

store.py Cleanup (1082→1102 lines):
• Added Phase 3 architecture documentation (lines 8-27)
• Enhanced class docstring with facade pattern explanation
• Restored set_schema_version as DEPRECATED (backward compatibility)
• Clear module delegation structure documented

Test Results:
• Core integration tests: 8/8 PASSED ✅
• Main test suite: 1309 tests PASSED ✅
• Demonstrates Phase 3 decomposition works end-to-end

Phase 3 Status: 🎯 COMPLETE
All 7 epics delivered. SkillStore successfully decomposed from
1345-line monolith into focused modules with comprehensive test coverage.
