fix: box() off-by-one alignment, add 5 tests for readStdinJson and box alignment

- skill-create-output.js: fix top border being 1 char narrower than
  middle/bottom lines (width - title - 5 → width - title - 4)
- Add box alignment regression test verifying all lines have equal width
- Add 4 readStdinJson tests via subprocess (valid JSON, invalid JSON,
  empty stdin, nested objects) — last untested exported utility function
- All 338 tests passing
