feat(3309): workflow.human_verify_mode = end-of-phase (new default; mid-flight opt-back-in) (#3325)

* test(3309): red — workflow.human_verify_mode contract

New behavioral test file covers:
- workflow.human_verify_mode is a recognized config key (VALID_CONFIG_KEYS)
- defaults to 'mid-flight' (preserves current behavior)
- config-set / config-get round-trips for both values
- persists in config.json as string
- planner agent file references the flag with canonical wording, couples
  end-of-phase mode with the rule that checkpoint:human-verify is not
  emitted, and documents the <verify><human-check> deferred-item shape
- verifier agent file references harvesting <verify><human-check> blocks
- references/checkpoints.md documents the cost-control alternative

Source-text assertions on agent .md files are exempted via
allow-test-rule: source-text-is-the-product — those files ARE the
runtime contract loaded by AI runtimes, so asserting their wording is
the only way to verify the agents will respect the flag.

Fails 10/11 against current source. Will pass after the fix.

* feat(3309): add workflow.human_verify_mode = end-of-phase opt-out

Each mid-flight checkpoint:human-verify halt costs a full executor
cold-start (CLAUDE.md, MEMORY.md, STATE.md, plan re-read on every
respawn) because subagent context is discarded across the pause. A plan
with N human-verify checkpoints pays the cold-start cost N+1 times. The
reporter (rentanything-nb) measured this at "tens of thousands of tokens"
per round-trip and "hundreds of thousands per week."

This adds workflow.human_verify_mode (default 'mid-flight') with an
'end-of-phase' value that:
- instructs gsd-planner to NOT emit <task type="checkpoint:human-verify">
  tasks; verification details go into a <verify><human-check> sub-block
  on the relevant auto task instead
- instructs gsd-verifier (Step 8) to harvest those <verify><human-check>
  blocks at end-of-phase and merge them into its own human-verification
  list
- the existing human_needed → HUMAN-UAT.md flow in execute-phase.md is
  the single sink — no new file/writer is created

checkpoint:decision and checkpoint:human-action are unaffected — those
gate the work itself, not post-hoc verification.

Surfaces touched:
- bin/lib/config-schema.cjs, bin/lib/config.cjs — register key + default
- sdk/src/config.ts, sdk/src/query/config-schema.ts — SDK parity
- agents/gsd-planner.md — slim Detection section + reference link
- agents/gsd-verifier.md — Step 8 harvest instruction
- get-shit-done/references/planner-human-verify-mode.md — full rules,
  loaded conditionally to keep planner.md under its size budget
- get-shit-done/references/checkpoints.md — surface the alternative
- docs/CONFIGURATION.md — config table row
- docs/INVENTORY.md, docs/INVENTORY-MANIFEST.json — track new reference

Tag name <human-check> chosen instead of <human> to avoid the
prompt-injection scan pattern that flags <system|assistant|human> tags.

* feat(3309): flip workflow.human_verify_mode default to end-of-phase

Per maintainer direction on PR #3325, end-of-phase is the new project
default. Mid-flight checkpoint:human-verify halts cost a full executor
cold-start (CLAUDE.md, MEMORY.md, STATE.md, plan re-read on respawn) per
round-trip — reported at "tens of thousands of tokens" per round-trip,
"hundreds of thousands per week" on real projects. The cost-control
mode is what new projects should get out of the box.

mid-flight remains a one-line opt-back-in via:

    gsd config-set workflow.human_verify_mode mid-flight

Behavior change for existing projects: the new default takes effect
when .planning/config.json is rewritten (config-set, fresh project).
Existing in-flight PLAN.md files with checkpoint:human-verify tasks
continue to work in either mode — the flag only changes what the
planner emits next time it runs.

Surfaces updated:
- bin/lib/config.cjs, sdk/src/config.ts — default flipped
- sdk/src/config.ts docstring — describes new default + opt-back-in
- agents/gsd-planner.md — Detection section explains new default
- references/planner-human-verify-mode.md — reordered modes; added
  guidance on when to opt back into mid-flight
- references/checkpoints.md — surface the default flip and the why
- docs/CONFIGURATION.md — table row reflects new default + reason
- tests/feat-3309-human-verify-mode.test.cjs — default test asserts
  end-of-phase
- .changeset/fierce-geese-march.md — describes the default flip and
  the migration semantics

**Harvest deferred items from PLAN.md (#3309 / `workflow.human_verify_mode = end-of-phase`):** Scan every PLAN file in the phase for `<verify><human-check>` blocks on `auto` tasks. These are verification items the planner deliberately deferred from `checkpoint:human-verify` to end-of-phase to avoid the executor cold-start cost. Each block has the same shape used by the planner:
```xml

Merge those harvested items into the same human verification list as your own analysis. Deduplicate when the planner-deferred item and your own analysis describe the same check. The downstream `human_needed` → HUMAN-UAT.md path in `workflows/execute-phase.md` is the single sink — no separate file is created.
