Evidence: schema and config validation (T10)
Work item: issue-165 · re-run after the owner's review removed length budgets (PR #168).

userInteraction.writingStyle is optional (absent from the schema's required), so a project scaffolded before this change validates unchanged and inherits the schema defaults. additionalProperties: false rejects a re-added budget key and a typo'd formal register.

writingStyle keys: ['diagramFirst', 'enabled', 'formalRegisters', 'skill']
no `budgets` key — length limits removed on the owner's call (decision-061)
VALID pre-issue-165 config (no writingStyle block)
REJECTED re-added budgets key -> Additional properties are not allowed ('budgets' was unexpected)
REJECTED typo'd formalRegisters value -> 'typo-register' is not one of ['ears-acceptance-criteria', 'abuse-cases', 'api-contracts', 'schema-descriptions', 'rfc-2119']
