Subject: [PATCH] fix(#2112): scope commit to --files pathspec, not entire
 index (#2148)

* fix(2112): scope commit to --files pathspec, not entire index

cmdCommit/cmdCommitToSubrepo/cmdPrSubrepo staged exactly the files
named in --files but then ran a bare 'git commit' with no pathspec,
absorbing anything else in the index into a commit whose message
described only the named files (#2112).

Fix: append '-- ...stagedPaths' to the commit args when the caller
declared a scope. Three guards are load-bearing:
- stagedPaths (not filesToStage) excludes skipped missing files (#2014)
- explicitFiles gate keeps the default .planning/ path byte-identical
- MERGE_HEAD check via 'git rev-parse' falls back to bare commit during merge
- --amend is left without pathspec (different operation)

cmdPrSubrepo pathspec uses changedFiles (old+new for renames) so the
full rename is captured atomically.

Also fixes workflow markdown in spec-phase.md and add-tests.md.

All-files-missing now short-circuits to nothing_to_commit instead of
absorbing the entire index under a message describing files that
were not committed.

* docs(changeset): backfill PR number (#2148)

* test: update golden-install-parity fixtures for workflow markdown changes (#2112)

* test: update golden fixtures + workflow baselines for #2112 changes

- claude-local.json golden fixture (now generated via gen script)
- workflow-size-baseline.json (add-tests.md +16, spec-phase.md +42 bytes)
- Extended gen-golden-install-parity-zcode.cjs to also regenerate the
  claude local-layout fixture

+**`commit --files` now commits only the declared paths** — `gsd-tools commit --files A B` previously ran a bare `git commit` that absorbed the entire staged index, silently sweeping in unrelated files the caller never named. The commit now appends a pathspec (`-- <paths>`) so only the staged subset of `--files` lands in the commit; the no-`--files` default path is unchanged. Missing tracked files are still skipped (not committed as deletions, #2014), and when all declared files are missing the function short-circuits to `nothing_to_commit` instead of absorbing the index. (#2112)
