docs: update release notes and command reference for v1.37.0 (#2382)

* fix(tests): clear CLAUDECODE env var in read-guard test runner

The hook skips its advisory on two env vars: CLAUDE_SESSION_ID and
CLAUDECODE. runHook() cleared CLAUDE_SESSION_ID but inherited CLAUDECODE
from process.env, so tests run inside a Claude Code session silently
no-oped and produced no stdout, causing JSON.parse to throw.

* fix(ci): update ARCHITECTURE.md counts and add TEXT_MODE fallback to sketch workflow

Four new spike/sketch files were added in 1.37.0 but two housekeeping
items were missed: ARCHITECTURE.md component counts (75→79 commands,
72→76 workflows) and the required TEXT_MODE fallback in sketch.md for
non-Claude runtimes (#2012).

* fix(ci): update directory-tree slash command count in ARCHITECTURE.md

Missed the second count in the directory tree (# 75 slash commands → 79).
The prose "Total commands" was updated but the tree annotation was not,
causing command-count-sync.test.cjs to fail.

* docs: update release notes and command reference for v1.37.0

Covers spike/sketch commands, agent size-budget enforcement, and shared
boilerplate extraction across README, COMMANDS, FEATURES, and USER-GUIDE.

## v1.37.0 Features
### 117. Spike Command
**Command:** `/gsd-spike [idea] [--quick]`
**Purpose:** Run 2–5 focused feasibility experiments before committing to an implementation approach. Each experiment uses Given/When/Then framing, produces executable code, and returns a VALIDATED / INVALIDATED / PARTIAL verdict. Companion `/gsd-spike-wrap-up` packages findings into a project-local skill.
**Requirements:**
- REQ-SPIKE-01: Each experiment MUST produce a Given/When/Then hypothesis before any code is written
- REQ-SPIKE-02: Each experiment MUST include working code or a minimal reproduction
- REQ-SPIKE-03: Each experiment MUST return one of: VALIDATED, INVALIDATED, or PARTIAL verdict with evidence
- REQ-SPIKE-04: Results MUST be stored in `.planning/spikes/NNN-experiment-name/` with a README and MANIFEST.md
- REQ-SPIKE-05: `--quick` flag skips intake conversation and uses the argument text as the experiment direction
- REQ-SPIKE-06: `/gsd-spike-wrap-up` MUST package findings into `.claude/skills/spike-findings-[project]/`
**Produces:**
| Artifact | Description |
|----------|-------------|
| `.planning/spikes/NNN-name/README.md` | Hypothesis, experiment code, verdict, and evidence |
| `.planning/spikes/MANIFEST.md` | Index of all spikes with verdicts |
| `.claude/skills/spike-findings-[project]/` | Packaged findings (via `/gsd-spike-wrap-up`) |
---
### 118. Sketch Command
**Command:** `/gsd-sketch [idea] [--quick] [--text]`
**Purpose:** Explore design directions through throwaway HTML mockups before committing to implementation. Produces 2–3 interactive variants per design question, all viewable directly in a browser with no build step. Companion `/gsd-sketch-wrap-up` packages winning decisions into a project-local skill.
**Requirements:**
- REQ-SKETCH-01: Each sketch MUST answer one specific visual design question
- REQ-SKETCH-02: Each sketch MUST include 2–3 meaningfully different variants in a single `index.html` with tab navigation
- REQ-SKETCH-03: All interactive elements (hover, click, transitions) MUST be functional
- REQ-SKETCH-04: Sketches MUST use real-ish content, not lorem ipsum
- REQ-SKETCH-05: A shared `themes/default.css` MUST provide CSS variables adapted to the agreed aesthetic
- REQ-SKETCH-06: `--quick` flag skips mood intake; `--text` flag replaces `AskUserQuestion` with numbered lists for non-Claude runtimes
- REQ-SKETCH-07: The winning variant MUST be marked in the README frontmatter and with a ★ in the HTML tab
- REQ-SKETCH-08: `/gsd-sketch-wrap-up` MUST package winning decisions into `.claude/skills/sketch-findings-[project]/`
**Produces:**
| Artifact | Description |
|----------|-------------|
| `.planning/sketches/NNN-name/index.html` | 2–3 interactive HTML variants |
| `.planning/sketches/NNN-name/README.md` | Design question, variants, winner, what to look for |
| `.planning/sketches/themes/default.css` | Shared CSS theme variables |
| `.planning/sketches/MANIFEST.md` | Index of all sketches with winners |
| `.claude/skills/sketch-findings-[project]/` | Packaged decisions (via `/gsd-sketch-wrap-up`) |

### 119. Agent Size-Budget Enforcement
**Purpose:** Keep agent prompt files lean with tiered line-count limits enforced in CI. Oversized agents are caught before they bloat context windows in production.
**Requirements:**
- REQ-BUDGET-01: `agents/gsd-*.md` files are classified into three tiers: XL (≤ 1 600 lines), Large (≤ 1 000 lines), Default (≤ 500 lines)
- REQ-BUDGET-02: Tier assignment is declared in the file's YAML frontmatter (`size: xl | large | default`)
- REQ-BUDGET-03: `tests/agent-size-budget.test.cjs` enforces limits and fails CI on violation
- REQ-BUDGET-04: Files without a `size` frontmatter key default to the Default (500-line) limit
**Test file:** `tests/agent-size-budget.test.cjs`
---
### 120. Shared Boilerplate Extraction
**Purpose:** Reduce duplication across agents by extracting two common boilerplate blocks into shared reference files loaded on demand. Keeps agent files within size budget and makes boilerplate updates a single-file change.
**Requirements:**
- REQ-BOILER-01: Mandatory-initial-read instructions extracted to `references/mandatory-initial-read.md`
- REQ-BOILER-02: Project-skills-discovery instructions extracted to `references/project-skills-discovery.md`
- REQ-BOILER-03: Agents that previously inlined these blocks MUST now reference them via `@` required_reading
**Reference files:** `references/mandatory-initial-read.md`, `references/project-skills-discovery.md`
