* refactor(workflows): extract discuss-phase modes/templates/advisor for progressive disclosure (closes #2551)

Splits 1,347-line workflows/discuss-phase.md into a 495-line dispatcher plus
per-mode files in workflows/discuss-phase/modes/ and templates in
workflows/discuss-phase/templates/. Mirrors the progressive-disclosure
pattern that #2361 enforced for agents.

- Per-mode files: power, all, auto, chain, text, batch, analyze, default, advisor
- Templates lazy-loaded at the step that produces the artifact (CONTEXT.md
  template at write_context, DISCUSSION-LOG.md template at git_commit,
  checkpoint.json schema when checkpointing)
- Advisor mode gated behind `[ -f $HOME/.claude/get-shit-done/USER-PROFILE.md ]`
  — inverse of #2174's --advisor flag (don't pay the cost when unused)
- scout_codebase phase-type→map selection table extracted to
  references/scout-codebase.md
- New tests/workflow-size-budget.test.cjs enforces tiered budgets across
  all workflows/*.md (XL=1700 / LARGE=1500 / DEFAULT=1000) plus the
  explicit <500 ceiling for discuss-phase.md per #2551
- Existing tests updated to read from the new file locations after the
  split (functional equivalence preserved — content moved, not removed)

* fix(#2607): align modes/auto.md check_existing with parent (Update it, not Skip)

CodeRabbit flagged drift between the parent step (which auto-selects "Update
it") and modes/auto.md (which documented "Skip"). The pre-refactor file had
both — line 182 said "Skip" in the overview, line 250 said "Update it" in the
actual step. The step is authoritative. Fix the new mode file to match.

* test(#2607): harden discuss-phase regression tests after #2551 split

CodeRabbit identified four test smells where the split weakened coverage:

- workflow-size-budget: assertion was unreachable (entered if-block on match,
  then asserted occurrences === 0 — always failed). Now unconditional.
- bug-2549-2550-2552: bounded-read assertion checked concatenated source, so
  src.includes('3') was satisfied by unrelated content in scout-codebase.md
  (e.g., "3-5 most relevant files"). Now reads parent only with a stricter
  regex. Also asserts SCOUT_REF exists.
- chain-flag-plan-phase: filter(existsSync) silently skipped a missing
  modes/chain.md. Now fails loudly via explicit asserts.
- discuss-checkpoint: same silent-filter pattern across three sources. Now
  asserts each required path before reading.

* docs(#2607): fix INVENTORY count, context.md placeholders, scout grep portability

- INVENTORY.md: subdirectory note said "50 top-level references" but the
  section header now says 51. Updated to 51.
- templates/context.md: footer hardcoded XX-name instead of declared
  placeholders [X]/[Name], which would leak sample text into generated
  CONTEXT.md files. Now uses the declared placeholders.
- references/scout-codebase.md: no-maps fallback used grep -rl with
  "\\|" alternation (GNU grep only — silent on BSD/macOS grep). Switched
  to grep -rlE with extended regex for portability.

* docs(#2607): label fenced examples + clarify overlay/advisor precedence

- analyze.md / text.md / default.md: add language tags (markdown/text) to
  fenced example blocks to silence markdownlint MD040 warnings flagged by
  CodeRabbit (one fence in analyze.md, two in text.md, five in default.md).
- discuss-phase.md: document overlay stacking rules in discuss_areas — fixed
  outer→inner order --analyze → --batch → --text, with a pointer to each
  overlay file for mode-specific precedence.
- advisor.md: add tie-breaker rules for NON_TECHNICAL_OWNER signals — explicit
  technical_background overrides inferred signals; otherwise OR-aggregate;
  contradictory explanation_depth values resolve by most-recent-wins.

* fix(#2607): extract codebase_drift_gate body to keep execute-phase under XL budget

PR #2605 added 80 lines to execute-phase.md (1622 -> 1702), pushing it over
the XL_BUDGET=1700 line cap enforced by tests/workflow-size-budget.test.cjs
(introduced by this PR). Per the test's own remediation hint and #2551's
progressive-disclosure pattern, extract the codebase_drift_gate step body to
get-shit-done/workflows/execute-phase/steps/codebase-drift-gate.md and leave
a brief pointer in the workflow. execute-phase.md is now 1633 lines.

Budget is NOT relaxed; the offending workflow is tightened.

#### Progressive disclosure for workflows
Workflow files are loaded verbatim into Claude's context every time the
corresponding `/gsd:*` command is invoked. To keep that cost bounded, the
workflow size budget enforced by `tests/workflow-size-budget.test.cjs`
mirrors the agent budget from #2361:
| Tier | Per-file line limit |
|-----------|--------------------|
| `XL` | 1700 — top-level orchestrators (`execute-phase`, `plan-phase`, `new-project`) |
| `LARGE` | 1500 — multi-step planners and large feature workflows |
| `DEFAULT` | 1000 — focused single-purpose workflows (the target tier) |
`workflows/discuss-phase.md` is held to a stricter <500-line ceiling per
issue #2551. When a workflow grows beyond its tier, extract per-mode bodies
into `workflows/<workflow>/modes/<mode>.md`, templates into
`workflows/<workflow>/templates/`, and shared knowledge into
`get-shit-done/references/`. The parent file becomes a thin dispatcher that
Reads only the mode and template files needed for the current invocation.
`workflows/discuss-phase/` is the canonical example of this pattern —
parent dispatches, modes/ holds per-flag behavior (`power.md`, `all.md`,
`auto.md`, `chain.md`, `text.md`, `batch.md`, `analyze.md`, `default.md`,
`advisor.md`), and templates/ holds CONTEXT.md, DISCUSSION-LOG.md, and
checkpoint.json schemas that are read only when the corresponding output
file is being written.
