* fix(#488): add gsd-tools effort sync command to re-apply effort config to installed agents

Effort frontmatter is injected at install time, but there was no way to propagate
config changes (agent_overrides, routing_tier_defaults, default) without a full reinstall.

- Adds `cmdEffortSync` to commands.cjs: scans `<configDir>/agents/gsd-*.md`, resolves
  the current effort per agent via `resolveEffortInternal` + `renderEffortForRuntime`,
  and rewrites (or injects) the `effort:` frontmatter idempotently.
- Dry-run mode (default) reports pending changes without writing; `--apply` writes.
- Accepts `--config-dir` and `--runtime` overrides; gracefully no-ops on non-claude runtimes.
- Wires the `effort sync` subcommand into `gsd-tools.cjs` and adds it to the help list.
- Five regression tests cover dry-run, apply, no-op, inject-missing, and non-claude runtime.

* fix(#488): add gsd-tools effort sync command to re-apply effort config to installed agents

Effort frontmatter is injected at install time, but there was no way to propagate
config changes (agent_overrides, routing_tier_defaults, default) without a full reinstall.

- Adds `cmdEffortSync` to commands.cjs: scans `<configDir>/agents/gsd-*.md`, resolves
  the current effort per agent via `resolveInstallTimeEffort` + `renderEffortForRuntime`,
  and rewrites (or injects) the `effort:` frontmatter idempotently.
- Uses install-time resolvers (readGsdEffectiveEffortConfig from bin/install.js) rather
  than the runtime resolver (loadConfig), so home-level effort changes in ~/.gsd/defaults.json
  are correctly picked up even when a project .planning/config.json exists.
- Skips symlinks in agents dir to avoid clobbering symlink targets.
- Dry-run mode (default) reports pending changes without writing; --apply writes.
- Accepts --config-dir and --runtime overrides; gracefully no-ops on non-claude runtimes.
- Rejects unexpected positional arguments in the CLI parser.
- Wires the effort sync subcommand into gsd-tools.cjs and adds it to the help list.
- Eight regression tests: dry-run, apply, noop, inject-missing, non-claude runtime,
  home-config gap scenario, CLI positional-arg rejection, and CLI dispatch integration.
