fix(#1159): phase complete ignores historical/deferred requirement metadata (#1197)

* fix(#1159): phase complete ignores historical/deferred requirement metadata

Defect A: `phase complete` emitted a false "has unresolved gaps" warning
when a VERIFICATION.md file's frontmatter contained `status: passed` but
the body contained `previous_status: gaps_found`. The full-text regex
`/status: gaps_found/` matched the substring inside `previous_status:
gaps_found`, producing a spurious warning. Fixed by reading only the
frontmatter `status` key via `extractFrontmatter` in both `phase.cts`
(phase complete warning check) and `commands.cts` (determinePhaseStatus).

Defect B: requirement IDs under explicitly deferred/backlog/future/v2
section headings in REQUIREMENTS.md were flagged as missing from the
Traceability table. Fixed by splitting the body into markdown sections,
detecting deferred-intent headings via a keyword regex, and skipping
those sections when collecting IDs to check against the table.

Both fixes include boundary tests (false positive suppressed; genuine
gap/missing warnings still fire) in 4-phase-complete-cjs-regression.test.cjs.

* fix(#1159): address adversarial-review findings (subheading + case sensitivity)

- Defect B: Replace section-split approach with line-by-line depth-tracking
  to correctly propagate deferred status to sub-headings and ignore headings
  inside fenced code blocks. Previously `## Future Backlog` / `### Sub` would
  leak sub-heading IDs (split created a new non-deferred section per heading).
- Defect A/commands: restore case-insensitive status matching via toLowerCase()
  to match the prior /status:\s*passed/i regex semantics.
- Add test #1159-B-4 covering the nested-subheading case.
