Adds depth setting (quick/standard/comprehensive) to control how many
phases and plans get created. Tasks per plan stays constant at 2-3.
- Quick: 3-5 phases, 1-3 plans each
- Standard: 5-8 phases, 3-5 plans each
- Comprehensive: 8-12 phases, 5-10 plans each
Depth increases plan COUNT, never plan SIZE. More plans = more
thoroughness with same quality per plan.
Files changed:
- new-project.md: depth question after mode
- config.json: depth field added
- create-roadmap.md: depth-aware phase guidance
- plan-phase.md: depth-aware plan splitting
- scope-estimation.md: depth calibration section
- create-milestone.md: removed hardcoded 3-6 limit
- new-milestone.md: removed hardcoded 3-6 limit
- roadmap.md template: depth-aware guidance

Adds bash logic to count PLAN vs SUMMARY files before deciding
whether to offer next plan or next phase. Fixes bug where GSD
would skip remaining plans in a phase.

PROJECT.md evolves throughout project lifecycle:
- Requirements have states: Validated, Active, Out of Scope
- Decisions track outcomes: Good, Revisit, Pending
- Phase transitions update requirements and log decisions
- Milestone completions trigger full PROJECT.md review
STATE.md now references PROJECT.md (not a copy):
- Claude reads PROJECT.md directly for full context
- Smaller STATE.md footprint (~100 lines)
- Project Reference section with core value and focus
Brownfield projects infer Validated requirements from existing code.

The limit was causing loss of useful context, especially code examples
in TESTING.md and CONVENTIONS.md. Document quality > arbitrary brevity.

End-of-command workflows now show explicit instructions to run /clear
and paste the next command, rather than offering numbered options that
invoke SlashCommand directly. This prevents users from accidentally
exhausting context by continuing work in the same session.
- Updated 16 files (commands and workflows)
- YOLO mode auto-continues preserved (user explicitly chose automation)
- In-workflow decisions like consider-issues preserved

Remove fixed 3-6 phase constraint and time-based sizing (1-3 days).
Phase count now emerges from deliverable coherence—simple projects
get fewer phases, complex projects get more.

Research is now optimized for Claude Code implementation quality:
- PROJECT.md-driven (features, constraints, questions, decisions)
- High-confidence only (no low-quality padding)
- 3 focused files: stack.md, implementation.md, risks.md
- Code examples with current vs deprecated patterns

Add explicit guardrails to ensure context gathering questions clarify
HOW to implement roadmap scope rather than suggesting WHAT to add.
Questions must never expand scope - if user adds scope, direct them
to update ROADMAP first instead.
Changes:
- Template: Replace "Secondary goals" with "Clarifications" (HOW, not WHAT ELSE)
- Workflow: Add CRITICAL block forbidding scope-expanding questions
- Workflow: Update decision gate to emphasize clarification over expansion
- Command: Add NO SCOPE CREEP rules
