feat(#159): auto-use existing RESEARCH.md in /gsd:plan-phase --research-phase (#718)

* feat(#159): auto-use existing RESEARCH.md in /gsd:plan-phase --research-phase

When RESEARCH.md already exists in research-only mode and neither --research
nor --view is passed, emit a one-line notice and exit cleanly instead of
prompting update/view/skip. This matches the promptless auto-use of standard
/gsd:plan-phase <N> (§5.1) and removes the §5.0/§5.1 inconsistency, making
AI-agent and CLI invocations non-interactive in the common case. The two
explicit-flag escape hatches (--research to refresh, --view to print) cover
any deviation.

Closes #159

* docs(#159): tighten research-phase reference register (Diataxis)

Make the 'no modifier' research-phase entries descriptive rather than
imperative and drop the trailing 'pass --research/--view' clauses, which
duplicated the adjacent --research/--view documentation. Reference docs
describe; the recovery flags are documented in their own entries. The
emitted runtime notice in the workflow keeps naming the flags (in-band
recovery), unchanged.

Useful for cross-phase research, doc review before committing to a planning approach, and correction-without-replanning loops. Replaces the deleted `gsd-research-phase` standalone command (#3042).
