Stop discouraging new-pattern drafts from a single talk
The old guidance ("one talk is one data point, not proof a pattern is widely applicable") read as a reason to hold back drafting a genuine new-pattern candidate. But this process only ever sees one talk at a time, so that standard would mean a new pattern candidate never gets drafted at all. Checked meta/contributor-handbook.md: maturity level 1 (Initial) has NO validation requirement - it's explicitly for a single unstructured idea. One instance is what's needed for level 2 (Structured); only 3+ need level 3 (Validated). So the guidance now says to draft at Initial from one talk, which is exactly what that level is for - confirmed against Paired Onboarding Sprint (#926), the first pattern this skill has drafted this way.

- **One talk is enough to draft at Initialdon't hold back.** Per `meta/contributor-handbook.md`, maturity level 1 (Initial) has no validation requirement at all; it's explicitly for a single unstructured idea, even a "donut" with missing sections. One known instance clears the bar for level 2 (Structured); only 3+ instances need level 3 (Validated). So a genuine new-pattern candidate from one talk should be drafted at Initial, not held back for more evidence that this process — one talk at a time — will never accumulate on its own.
