SUSE 16+ Knowledge Patch

Claude's baseline covers SLES 15 SP5, openSUSE Leap 15.5, and Tumbleweed through mid-2024. This skill provides changes from openSUSE Leap 15.6 (June 2024) and the SUSE 16.0 release (SLES Nov 2025, Leap Oct 2025).

Key context: openSUSE Leap 16.0 and SUSE Linux Enterprise 16.0 share the same codebase (source and binary identical). Nearly all 16.0 changes below apply to both distributions.

Rebranding: "SUSE Linux Enterprise Server" is now "SUSE Linux". Minor releases (16.0, 16.1, ...) replace service packs.
