refactor: Compress detail prompt for conciseness (775→473 words, -39%)

Drop redundant Specificity Test section (covered by examples and checklist),
remove Task Design Rules (implied by entire prompt), flatten frontmatter
docs, trim good example, tighten sizing/checkpoint/context sections.

- Frontmatter:
- \`title\`: Clear task name
- \`category\`: One of: execute, research, discuss, plan, detail, refine, verify, merge, review
- \`type\`: One of: auto, checkpoint:human-verify, checkpoint:decision, checkpoint:human-action
- \`dependencies\`: List of other task IDs this depends on
- Body: Detailed description of what the task requires

## Specificity Test
## Task Body Requirements
Before finalizing each task, ask: **"Could a worker agent execute this without clarifying questions?"**
Every task body MUST include:
1. **What to create or modify** — specific file paths (e.g., \`src/db/schema.ts\`, \`src/api/routes/users.ts\`)
2. **Expected behavior** — what the code should do, with concrete examples, inputs/outputs, and edge cases
3. **Test specification** — REQUIRED for every execute-category task:
Every task body must include:
1. **Files to create or modify** — specific paths (e.g., \`src/db/schema.ts\`, \`src/api/routes/users.ts\`)
2. **Expected behavior** — concrete examples, inputs/outputs, edge cases
3. **Test specification** — for every execute-category task:
- Test file path (e.g., \`src/api/validators/user.test.ts\`)
- Test scenarios to cover (happy path, error cases, edge cases)
- Test scenarios (happy path, error cases, edge cases)
- Run command (e.g., \`npm test -- src/api/validators/user.test.ts\`)
Non-execute tasks (research, discuss, etc.) may omit this.
4. **Verification command** — the exact command to confirm the task is complete (e.g., \`npm test -- path/to/test\`)
Non-execute tasks may omit this.

## File Ownership Constraints
Tasks that can run in parallel MUST NOT modify the same files. Include a file list in each task body:
## File Ownership
Parallel tasks must not modify the same files. Include a file list per task:
\`\`\`
Files modified:
- src/db/schema/users.ts (create)
- src/db/migrations/001_users.sql (create)
Files: src/db/schema/users.ts (create), src/db/migrations/001_users.sql (create)
\`\`\`
If two tasks touch the same file or one needs the other's output, add a dependency.
If two tasks need to modify the same file or need the functionality another task created or modified, make one depend on the other.
## Task Sizing (by lines changed)
## Task Sizing
Size tasks by expected lines changed — this predicts difficulty far more than file count.
- **Under ~150 lines changed across 1-3 files**: Sweet spot. High confidence an agent completes this in one shot.
- **~150-300 lines or 4-5 files**: Risky. Only if the work is highly mechanical (e.g., repetitive migrations, boilerplate). Needs very precise specs.
- **300+ lines or 5+ files**: Too big — split it. Agent success drops sharply at this scale.
- **1 sentence description**: Too vague — merge with related work or add concrete detail.
- **Under ~20 lines**: Too small — merge with a related task to avoid per-task overhead.
- **<150 lines, 1-3 files**: Sweet spot
- **150-300 lines, 4-5 files**: Only for mechanical/boilerplate work with precise specs
- **300+ lines or 5+ files**: Split it
- **<20 lines**: Merge with a related task
- **1 sentence description**: Too vague — add detail or merge
## Checkpoint Tasks
Use checkpoint types for work that requires human judgment:
- \`checkpoint:human-verify\`: Visual changes, migration results, API contract changes
- \`checkpoint:decision\`: Architecture choices that affect multiple phases
- \`checkpoint:human-verify\`: Visual changes, migrations, API contracts
- \`checkpoint:decision\`: Architecture choices affecting multiple phases
- \`checkpoint:human-action\`: External setup (DNS, credentials, third-party config)
~90% of tasks should be \`auto\`. Don't over-checkpoint.
## Task Design Rules
- Each task: specific, actionable, completable by one agent
- Ideally tasks shall be executable in parallel - if they depend on each other, use dependencies to indicate order
- Include verification steps where appropriate
- Dependencies should be minimal and explicit
~90% of tasks should be \`auto\`.
## Existing Context
- FIRST: Read ALL files in \`context/tasks/\` before generating any output
- Your target phase is \`phase.md\` — only create tasks for THIS phase
- If a task in context/tasks/ already covers the same work (even under a different name), do NOT create a duplicate
- Pages contain requirements — use them to create detailed task descriptions
- DO NOT create tasks that overlap with existing tasks in other phases
- Read ALL \`context/tasks/\` files before generating output
- Only create tasks for THIS phase (\`phase.md\`)
- Do not duplicate work that exists in context/tasks/ (even under different names)
- Use pages as requirements source

## Definition of Done
## Done Checklist
Before writing signal.json with status "done", verify:
- [ ] Every execute-category task has a test file path and run command
Before signal.json "done":
- [ ] Every execute task has test file path + run command
- [ ] Every task has a file ownership list
- [ ] No two parallel tasks modify the same files
- [ ] Every task passes the specificity test (a worker agent can execute without clarifying questions)
- [ ] Tasks are sized within the ~20-300 lines-changed range
- [ ] Context files were read — no duplicate work with existing tasks`;
- [ ] No parallel tasks share files
- [ ] Every task is executable without clarifying questions
- [ ] Tasks sized within ~20-300 lines changed
- [ ] No duplicates with existing context tasks`;
