The natural-language skip dispatch in chat.web.turns.post_turn
(intent="skip_elision") previously bypassed scene close detection
entirely. User prose like "fade out, skip an hour" carries both a
close signal and a skip directive — the close summary must capture
the closing scene's final beat (and promote per-POV memories) before
the time advances.
Insert detect_scene_close + apply_scene_close_summary BEFORE the skip
controller invocation in the skip_elision branch. Order: scene close
-> skip narration -> time advance. When there's no active scene or
the prose carries no close signal, detect_scene_close returns the
safe should_close=False default and the flow drops straight to the
skip controller — same behavior as today.
