feat: open artifact audit gate for milestone close and phase verify (#2157, #2158) (#2160)

* feat(2158): add audit.cjs open artifact scanner with security-hardened path handling

- Scans 8 .planning/ artifact categories for unresolved state
- Debug sessions, quick tasks, threads, todos, seeds, UAT gaps, verification gaps, CONTEXT open questions
- requireSafePath with allowAbsolute:true on all file reads
- sanitizeForDisplay on all output strings
- Graceful per-category error handling, never throws
- formatAuditReport returns human-readable report with emoji indicators

* feat(2158): add audit-open CLI command to gsd-tools.cjs + Deferred Items to state template

- Add audit-open [--json] case to switch router
- Add audit-open entry to header comment block
- Add Deferred Items section to state.md template for milestone carry-forward

* feat(2157): add phase artifact scan step to verify-work workflow

- scan_phase_artifacts step runs audit-open --json after UAT completion
- Surfaces UAT gaps, VERIFICATION gaps, and CONTEXT open questions for current phase
- Prompts user to confirm or decline before marking phase verified
- Records acknowledged gaps in VERIFICATION.md Acknowledged Gaps section
- SECURITY note: file paths validated, content truncated and sanitized before display

* feat(2158): add pre-close artifact audit gate to complete-milestone workflow

- pre_close_artifact_audit step runs before verify_readiness
- Displays full audit report when open items exist
- Three-way choice: Resolve, Acknowledge all, or Cancel
- Acknowledge path writes deferred items table to STATE.md
- Records deferred count in MILESTONES.md entry
- Adds three new success criteria checklist items
- SECURITY note on sanitizing all STATE.md writes

* test(2157,2158): add milestone audit gate tests

- 6 tests for audit.cjs: structured result, graceful missing dirs, open debug detection,
  resolved session exclusion, formatAuditReport header, all-clear message
- 3 tests for complete-milestone.md: pre_close_artifact_audit step, Deferred Items,
  security note presence
- 2 tests for verify-work.md: scan_phase_artifacts step, user prompt for gaps
- 1 test for state.md template: Deferred Items section

+Before proceeding with milestone close, run the comprehensive open artifact audit:
+
+```bash
+node "$HOME/.claude/get-shit-done/bin/gsd-tools.cjs" audit-open 2>/dev/null
+```
+
+If the output contains open items (any section with count > 0):
+
+Display the full audit report to the user.
+
+Then ask:
+```
+These items are open. Choose an action:
+[R] Resolve — stop and fix items, then re-run /gsd-complete-milestone
+[A] Acknowledge all — document as deferred and proceed with close
+[C] Cancel — exit without closing
+```
+
+If user chooses [A] (Acknowledge):
+1. Re-run `audit-open --json` to get structured data
+2. Write acknowledged items to STATE.md under `## Deferred Items` section:
+   ```markdown
+   ## Deferred Items
+
+   Items acknowledged and deferred at milestone close on {date}:
+
+   | Category | Item | Status |
+   |----------|------|--------|
+   | debug | {slug} | {status} |
+   | quick_task | {slug} | {status} |
+   ...
+   ```
+   Sanitize all slug and status values via `sanitizeForDisplay()` before writing. Never inject raw file content into STATE.md.
+3. Record in MILESTONES.md entry: `Known deferred items at close: {count} (see STATE.md Deferred Items)`
+4. Proceed with milestone close.
+
+If output shows all clear (no open items): print `All artifact types clear.` and proceed.
+
+SECURITY: Audit JSON output is structured data from gsd-tools.cjs — validated and sanitized at source. When writing to STATE.md, item slugs and descriptions are sanitized via `sanitizeForDisplay()` before inclusion. Never inject raw user-supplied content into STATE.md without sanitization.
