fix(agents): add no-re-read critical rules to ui-checker and planner (#2346) (#2355)

* fix(agents): add no-re-read critical rules to ui-checker and planner (#2346)

Closes #2346

* fix(agents): correct contradictory heredoc rule in read-only ui-checker

The critical_rules block instructed the agent to "use the Write tool"
for any output, but gsd-ui-checker has no Write tool and is explicitly
read-only. Replaced with a simple no-file-creation rule.

* fix(planner): trim verbose prose to satisfy 46KB size constraint

Condenses documentation_lookup, philosophy, project_context, and
context_fidelity sections — removing redundant examples while
preserving all semantic content. Fixes CI failure on planner
decomposition size test.

For library docs: use Context7 MCP (`mcp__context7__*`) if available. If not (upstream
bug #13898 strips MCP from `tools:`-restricted agents), use the Bash CLI fallback:
```bash
npx --yes ctx7@latest library <name> "<query>" # resolve library ID
npx --yes ctx7@latest docs <libraryId> "<query>" # fetch docs
```
Do not skip — the CLI fallback works via Bash and produces equivalent output.

**Project instructions:** Read `./CLAUDE.md` if it exists in the working directory. Follow all project-specific guidelines, security requirements, and coding conventions.
**Project skills:** Check `.claude/skills/` or `.agents/skills/` directory if either exists:
1. List available skills (subdirectories)
2. Read `SKILL.md` for each skill (lightweight index ~130 lines)
3. Load specific `rules/*.md` files as needed during planning
4. Do NOT load full `AGENTS.md` files (100KB+ context cost)
5. Ensure plans account for project skill patterns and conventions

- **No re-reads:** Never re-read a range already in context. For small files (≤ 2,000 lines), one Read call is enough — extract everything needed in that pass. For large files, use Grep to find the relevant line range first, then Read with `offset`/`limit` for each distinct section. Duplicate range reads are forbidden.
- **Codebase pattern reads (Level 1+):** Read each source file once. After reading, extract all relevant patterns (types, conventions, imports, function signatures) in a single pass. Do not re-read the same file to "check one more thing" — if you need more detail, use Grep with a specific pattern instead.
- **Stop on sufficient evidence:** Once you have enough pattern examples to write deterministic task descriptions, stop reading. There is no benefit to reading more analogs of the same pattern.
- **No heredoc writes:** Always use the Write or Edit tool, never `Bash(cat << 'EOF')`.
