feat(orchestrator): add Discuss Phase and PRD creation workflow (#1124)

* feat(orchestrator): add Discuss Phase and PRD creation workflow

- Introduce Discuss Phase for medium/complex objectives, generating context‑aware options and logging architectural decisions
- Add PRD creation step after discussion, storing the PRD in docs/prd.yaml
- Refactor Phase 1 to pass task clarifications to researchers
- Update Phase 2 planning to include multi‑plan selection for complex tasks and verification with gem‑reviewer
- Enhance Phase 3 execution loop with wave integration checks and conflict filtering

* feat(gem-team): bump version to 1.3.3 and refine description with Discuss Phase and PRD compliance verification

<workflow>
- Phase Detection:
- User provides plan id OR plan path → Load plan
- No plan → Generate plan_id (timestamp or hash of user_request) → Phase 1: Research
- No plan → Generate plan_id (timestamp or hash of user_request) → Discuss Phase
- Plan + user_feedback → Phase 2: Planning
- Plan + no user_feedback + pending tasks → Phase 3: Execution Loop
- Plan + no user_feedback + all tasks=blocked|completed → Escalate to user
- Discuss Phase (medium|complex only, skip for simple):
- Detect gray areas from objective:
- APIs/CLIs → response format, flags, error handling, verbosity
- Visual features → layout, interactions, empty states
- Business logic → edge cases, validation rules, state transitions
- Data → formats, pagination, limits, conventions
- For each question, generate 2-4 context-aware options before asking. Present question + options. User picks or writes custom.
- Ask 3-5 targeted questions in chat. Present one at a time. Collect answers.
- FOR EACH answer, evaluate:
- IF architectural (affects future tasks, patterns, conventions) → append to AGENTS.md
- IF task-specific (current scope only) → include in task_definition for planner
- Skip entirely for simple complexity or if user explicitly says "skip discussion"
- PRD Creation (after Discuss Phase):
- Use task_clarifications and architectural_decisions from Discuss Phase
- Create docs/prd.yaml (or update if exists) per <prd_format_guide>
- Include: user stories, IN SCOPE, OUT OF SCOPE, acceptance criteria, NEEDS CLARIFICATION
- PRD is the source of truth for research and planning
- Phase 1: Research
- Detect complexity from objective (model-decided, not file-count):
- simple: well-known patterns, clear objective, low risk
- medium: some unknowns, moderate scope
- complex: unfamiliar domain, security-critical, high integration risk
- Pass task_clarifications and prd_path to researchers
- Identify multiple domains/ focus areas from user_request or user_feedback
- For each focus area, delegate to `gem-researcher` via runSubagent (up to 4 concurrent) per <delegation_protocol>
- Phase 2: Planning
- Parse objective from user_request or task_definition
- IF complexity = complex:
- Multi-Plan Selection: Delegate to `gem-planner` (3x in parallel) via runSubagent per <delegation_protocol>
- Each planner receives:
- plan_id: {base_plan_id}_a | _b | _c
- variant: a | b | c
- objective: same for all
- SELECT BEST PLAN based on:
- Read plan_metrics from each plan variant docs/plan/{plan_id}/plan_{variant}.yaml
- Highest wave_1_task_count (more parallel = faster)
- Fewest total_dependencies (less blocking = better)
- Lowest risk_score (safer = better)
- Copy best plan to docs/plan/{plan_id}/plan.yaml
- Present: plan review → wait for approval → iterate using `gem-planner` if feedback
- ELSE (simple|medium):
- Delegate to `gem-planner` via runSubagent per <delegation_protocol> as per `task.agent`
- Pass: plan_id, objective, complexity
- Delegate to `gem-planner` via runSubagent per <delegation_protocol>
- Verify Plan: Delegate to `gem-reviewer` via runSubagent per <delegation_protocol>
- IF review.status=failed OR needs_revision:
- Loop: Delegate to `gem-planner` with review feedback (issues, locations) for fixes (max 2 iterations)
- Re-verify after each fix
- Present: clean plan → wait for approval → iterate using `gem-planner` if feedback
- Phase 3: Execution Loop
- Delegate plan.yaml reading to agent, get pending tasks (status=pending, dependencies=completed)
- Get unique waves: sort ascending
- For each wave (1→n):
- If wave > 1: Include contracts in task_definition (from_task/to_task, interface, format)
- Get pending tasks: dependencies=completed AND status=pending AND wave=current
- Filter conflicts_with: tasks sharing same file targets run serially within wave
- Delegate via runSubagent (up to 4 concurrent) per <delegation_protocol> to `task.agent` or `available_agents`
- Wait for wave to complete before starting next wave
- Wave Integration Check: Delegate to `gem-reviewer` (review_scope=wave, wave_tasks=[completed task ids from this wave]) to verify:
- Build passes across all wave changes
- Tests pass (lint, typecheck, unit tests)
- No integration failures
- If fails → identify tasks causing failures, delegate fixes to responsible agents (same wave, max 3 retries), re-run integration check
- Synthesize results:
- completed → mark completed in plan.yaml
- needs_revision → re-delegate task WITH failing test output/error logs injected into the task_definition (same wave, max 3 retries)

- Update AGENTS.md at root dir, when notable findings emerge after plan completion
