fix(3805): schema-aware log_to_state row appending in fast.md (#85)

* fix(3805): schema-aware log_to_state row appending in fast.md

REPRO: fast.md log_to_state unconditionally echoed a hardcoded 4-cell
row (| date | fast | task | ✅ |) into STATE.md. When quick.md Step 7
had already created the "Quick Tasks Completed" table with 5 columns
(| # | Description | Date | Commit | Directory |), fast.md appended a
malformed 4-cell row → broken Markdown table.

FIX: fast.md log_to_state now reads the existing table header, counts
columns, and checks for the expected column names from quick.md Step 7.
If the 5-column schema is confirmed, it appends a properly-formed 5-cell
row. If the schema is unrecognized, it skips the write with a warning
rather than corrupt the table.

Pattern source: quick.md Step 7 (schema-aware matching).

ANTI-PATTERN SWEEP: Only fast.md and quick.md contain direct STATE.md
table writes in workflows/. quick.md Step 7 is already schema-aware.
No other workflow candidates found.

**`fast.md` `log_to_state` no longer appends a malformed row when the STATE.md table uses the 5-column quick.md schema (#3805)** — the workflow unconditionally wrote a hardcoded 4-cell row (`| date | fast | task | ✅ |`) into STATE.md; when `quick.md` Step 7 had already created a 5-column "Quick Tasks Completed" table the mismatched row broke the Markdown table. `fast.md` now reads the existing header, counts columns, and verifies the quick.md column names before appending a properly-formed 5-cell row. If the schema is unrecognized the write is skipped with a warning rather than corrupting the table.

* #3805 — fast.md log_to_state appends a schema-blind 4-column row to the
* 5-column "Quick Tasks Completed" table created by quick.md Step 7.
*
* quick.md Step 7 creates the table with 5 columns:
* | # | Description | Date | Commit | Directory |
*
* Before this fix, fast.md's log_to_state step appended a hardcoded 4-cell
* row unconditionally:
* echo "| $(date +%Y-%m-%d) | fast | $TASK | ✅ |" >> .planning/STATE.md
*
* This produces malformed Markdown when the existing table has a different
* column count.
*
* Covers:
* - fast.md does NOT contain the hardcoded 4-cell echo template
* - fast.md log_to_state step reads/introspects the existing table header
* before appending (schema-aware insertion)
* - fast.md log_to_state step matches the 5-column schema from quick.md
* Step 7 when that table is present
* - fast.md log_to_state step skips (does not corrupt) the STATE.md write
* when the table schema is unrecognized
