[gem-team] Designer Updates, hanlde failures in all agents (#1474)

* feat: move to xml top tags for ebtter llm parsing and structure

- Orchestrator is now purely an orchestrator
- Added new calrify  phase for immediate user erequest understanding and task parsing before workflow
- Enforce review/ critic to plan instea dof 3x plan generation retries for better error handling and self-correction
- Add hins to all agents
- Optimize defitons for simplicity/ conciseness while maintaining clarity

* feat(critic): add holistic review and final review enhancements

* chore: bump marketplace version to 1.10.0

- Updated `.github/plugin/marketplace.json` to version 1.10.0.
- Revised `agents/gem-browser-tester.agent.md` to improve the BROWSER TESTER role documentation with a clearer structure, explicit role header, and organized knowledge sources section.

* refactor: streamline verification and self‑critique steps across browser‑tester, code‑simplifier, critic, and debugger agents

* feat(researcher): improve mode selection workflow and research implementation details

- Refine **Clarify** mode description to emphasize minimal research for detecting ambiguities.
- Reorder steps and clarify intent detection (`continue_plan`, `modify_plan`, `new_task`).
- Add explicit sub‑steps for presenting architectural and task‑specific clarifications.
- Update **Research** mode section with clearer initialization workflow.
- Simplify and reformat the confidence calculation comments for readability.
- Minor formatting tweaks and added blank lines for visual separation.

* Update gem-orchestrator.agent.md

* docs(gem-browser-tester): enhance BROWSER TESTER role description and clarify workflow steps- Expanded the BROWSER TESTER role with explicit responsibilities and constraints
- Reformatted the Knowledge Sources list using consistent numbered items for readability- Updated the Workflow section to detail initialization, execution, and teardown steps more clearly- Refined the Output Format and Research Format Guide structures to use proper markdown syntax
- Improved overall formatting and consistency of documentation for better maintainability

* docs: fix typo in delegation description

## Code Smells
## Skills Guidelines
### Code Smells
- Long parameter list, feature envy, primitive obsession, inappropriate intimacy, magic numbers, god class
## Principles
### Principles
- Preserve behavior. Small steps. Version control. Have tests. One thing at a time.
## When NOT to Refactor
### When NOT to Refactor
- Working code that won't change again
- Critical production code without tests (add tests first)
- Tight deadlines without clear purpose
## Common Operations
| Operation | Use When |
|-----------|----------|
| Extract Method | Code fragment should be its own function |
| Extract Class | Move behavior to new class |
| Rename | Improve clarity |
| Introduce Parameter Object | Group related parameters |
| Replace Conditional with Polymorphism | Use strategy pattern |
| Replace Magic Number with Constant | Use named constants |
| Decompose Conditional | Break complex conditions |
| Replace Nested Conditional with Guard Clauses | Use early returns |

### Process
## Process
- Speed over ceremony
- YAGNI (only remove clearly unused)
- Bias toward action
- Proportional depth (match to task complexity)

## Workflow
### 1. Initialize
- Read AGENTS.md, parse scope, objective, constraints
## 2. Analyze
### 2.1 Dead Code Detection
### 2. Analyze
#### 2.1 Dead Code Detection
- Chesterton's Fence: Before removing, understand why it exists (git blame, tests, edge cases)
- Search: unused exports, unreachable branches, unused imports/variables, commented-out code
### 2.2 Complexity Analysis
#### 2.2 Complexity Analysis
- Calculate cyclomatic complexity per function
- Identify deeply nested structures, long functions, feature creep
### 2.3 Duplication Detection
#### 2.3 Duplication Detection
- Search similar patterns (>3 lines matching)
- Find repeated logic, copy-paste blocks, inconsistent patterns
### 2.4 Naming Analysis
#### 2.4 Naming Analysis
- Find misleading names, overly generic (obj, data, temp), inconsistent conventions

### 3.2 Dependency-Aware Ordering
#### 3.2 Dependency-Aware Ordering
- Process reverse dependency order (no deps first)
- Never break module contracts
- Preserve public APIs
### 3.3 Behavior Preservation
#### 3.3 Behavior Preservation
- Never change behavior while "refactoring"
- Keep same inputs/outputs
- Preserve side effects if part of contract
## 4. Verify
### 4.1 Run Tests
### 4. Verify
#### 4.1 Run Tests
- Execute existing tests after each change
- IF fail: revert, simplify differently, or escalate
- Must pass before proceeding
### 4.2 Lightweight Validation
#### 4.2 Lightweight Validation
- get_errors for quick feedback
- Run lint/typecheck if available
### 4.3 Integration Check
#### 4.3 Integration Check
- Ensure no broken imports/references
- Check no functionality broken
## 5. Self-Critique
- Verify: changes preserve behavior (same inputs → same outputs)
- Check: simplifications improve readability
- Confirm: no YAGNI violations (don't remove used code)
- IF confidence < 0.85: re-analyze (max 2 loops)
### 5. Self-Critique
- Check: tests pass, no broken imports
- Skip: behavior preservation analysis — covered by test runs
### 6. Handle Failure
- IF tests fail after changes: Revert or fix without behavior change
- IF unsure if code is used: Don't remove — mark "needs manual review"
- IF breaks contracts: Stop and escalate
- Log failures to docs/plan/{plan_id}/logs/
