fix(#1058): cross-reference install manifest in validate agents to catch .md/.toml pair drift (#1079)

* fix(#1058): cross-reference install manifest in validate agents to catch pair drift

`validate agents` considered an agent installed if ANY supported file format was
present on disk. The Codex installer generates a per-agent PAIR (agents/gsd-*.md
AND agents/gsd-*.toml) and records both in gsd-file-manifest.json, so a partial
generated install — one side of the pair missing — was reported as healthy
(agents_found: true, missing: []), masking an incomplete Codex agent install.

checkAgentsInstalled now cross-references the install manifest beside the agents
dir (path.dirname(agentsDir)/gsd-file-manifest.json): for each expected agent, if
the manifest tracks files for it and any tracked file is absent on disk, the
agent is reported in a new `incomplete` list and agents_found becomes false. The
check no-ops when no manifest is present (preserves bundled/claude behavior) and
is scoped to expected agents so retired/stale manifest entries cannot false-flag.

Regression cases added to tests/agent-install-validation.test.cjs cover the
drift case, the complete-pair (no false positive), and the no-manifest no-op.

`validate agents` (and `validate health`) now cross-reference the install manifest to detect manifest-backed Codex agent pair drift: when a generated `agents/gsd-*.md` / `agents/gsd-*.toml` pair has one side missing on disk, the agent is reported as incomplete and `agents_found` is `false` (previously a false-healthy `agents_found: true, missing: []`). `validate health` names the incomplete agents and recommends re-running the installer. The check no-ops when no manifest is present. (#1058)
