Summary: Identify Armor Quality estimates armor value, weight, and repairability confidence from id/identify armor.
Notes:
Resolution uses skill plus INT/PER against item complexity to determine estimate quality.
Output format mirrors legacy identify text with newly forged silver estimate, weight estimate, and repair-state phrase.
Delay target is 10-20s; valid attempts grant identify progression.
