Prevent silent loss of UAT/verification items when projects advance.
Surfaces outstanding items across all prior phases so nothing is forgotten.
New command:
- /gsd:audit-uat — cross-phase audit with categorized report and test plan
New capabilities:
- Cross-phase health check in /gsd:progress (Step 1.6)
- status: partial for incomplete UAT sessions
- result: blocked with blocked_by tag for dependency-gated tests
- human_needed items persisted as trackable HUMAN-UAT.md files
- Phase completion and transition warnings for verification debt

The verifier agent interpreted {phase} as the full directory slug
(e.g., 01-foundation-target-system) instead of just the padded phase
number (01), producing wrong filenames like
01-foundation-target-system-VERIFICATION.md.
Changed all {phase}-*.md references to {phase_num}-*.md to match the
convention used in gsd-tools.js (${padded}-VERIFICATION.md).
Files: VERIFICATION.md, RESEARCH.md, CONTEXT.md, UAT.md patterns.

Unify gap handling - whether discovered by code verification or user
testing, gaps feed into the same plan-phase --gaps workflow.
Changes:
- Delete commands/gsd/plan-fix.md (redundant)
- Update verify-work to route to plan-phase --gaps
- Update progress Route E to detect UAT gaps
- Change UAT.md "Issues" section to "Gaps" with YAML format
- Extend plan-phase --gaps to read from both VERIFICATION.md and UAT.md
- Update diagnose-issues to output gaps in YAML format
- Update all references (debug, templates, workflows)
One path: gap discovered → diagnosed → plan-phase --gaps → fixed

Remove the global ISSUES.md deferred enhancement tracking system.
- Delete /gsd:consider-issues command (never used)
- Delete issues.md template (never instantiated)
- Remove Rule 5 from deviation rules (never triggered)
- Remove all ISSUES.md, ISS-XXX, and "deferred issues" references
- Update STATE.md to track pending todos instead
The ISSUES.md system was designed to capture non-critical enhancements
during plan execution via "Rule 5", but it never fired in practice
across 100+ projects. The system added ~350 lines of dead code.
The /gsd:add-todo and /gsd:check-todos system serves the same purpose
and is actually used.
Note: UAT *-ISSUES.md files (per-plan, created by /gsd:verify-work)
are unaffected - those are a separate, active system.
Closes#56

- Debug files from UAT use same naming as regular debug (slug only)
- UAT.md tracks link via debug_session field
- plan-fix actually invokes execute-plan when user selects it

After UAT finds issues, spawn parallel debug agents to investigate
root causes before planning fixes. Each agent investigates one issue
with symptoms pre-filled from UAT, finds the root cause, and returns
diagnosis.
New files:
- workflows/diagnose-issues.md: Orchestrator for parallel debug agents
- templates/debug-subagent-prompt.md: Prompt template for debug subagents
Modified:
- workflows/debug.md: Add symptoms_prefilled and diagnose-only modes
- workflows/verify-work.md: Offer diagnosis step after issues found
- templates/UAT.md: Add root_cause and debug_session fields
- commands/gsd/plan-fix.md: Use root causes for targeted fix planning
Flow: UAT → diagnose (parallel) → plan-fix (with root causes) → execute

- One test at a time instead of full checklist upfront
- Plain text responses instead of AskUserQuestion forms
- Severity inferred from description, never asked
- Persistent UAT.md survives /clear (like debug workflow)
- Single file per phase replaces per-plan ISSUES.md
- Updated plan-fix to read from UAT.md
