fix(#936): run plan-phase inline in convergence; guard against nested spawner wraps (#939)

Both sites in plan-review-convergence.md that wrapped gsd-plan-phase in
Agent() (initial planning + replan loop) are now bare Skill() calls at depth 0.
On Claude Code, a depth-1 Agent has no Agent tool so wrapped plan-phase could
never spawn gsd-planner/gsd-plan-checker — the replan loop silently produced no
revised plan when HIGHs were found. Running plan-phase inline from the depth-0
orchestrator (which retains the Agent tool) restores the full sub-agent chain.

A full audit of all workflow files confirmed these two sites were the only
instances of the anti-pattern (no other workflow wraps a spawner orchestrator
in Agent() without a RUNTIME carve-out).

Added structural guard test bug-936-no-nested-spawner-wrap.test.cjs that
dynamically derives the spawner set (workflows containing subagent_type=) and
asserts no workflow wraps a spawner inside Agent() without a RUNTIME != claude
carve-out — prevents silent regression. Test passes on fixed code, would fail
on pre-fix code at the two de-wrapped sites.

Also applied two low-severity prose nits flagged in review:
- commands/gsd/plan-review-convergence.md: orchestrator role updated to
  describe inline plan-phase + Agent for review (was generic "spawn Agents")
- gsd-core/workflows/plan-review-convergence.md success_criteria: narrowed
  "Each Agent fully completes" to the review Agent (plan-phase is inline now)

// ─── Bug #936: plan-phase must run inline, not inside Agent() ─────────────
//
// Regression guard: inverted from the pre-#936 behavior that locked in the bug.
// On Claude Code a depth-1 Agent has no Agent tool, so gsd-plan-phase wrapped in
// Agent() cannot spawn gsd-planner / gsd-plan-checker → the replan loop breaks.
// Fix: run plan-phase inline (bare Skill()) from the depth-0 convergence orchestrator.
//
// These tests FAIL on pre-fix code and PASS after the fix.
