Tom Boucher 05db5b53e4 fix(#853): gate manager/autonomous background dispatch by runtime (#863)
* fix(#853): gate manager/autonomous bg dispatch by runtime

/gsd-manager and /gsd-autonomous --interactive dispatched Plan/Execute
via Agent(run_in_background=true). On Claude Code a backgrounded agent
has no Agent/Task tool, so it cannot spawn the nested subagents those
pipelines need — per-plan worktree-isolated executors, the plan-checker,
and the verifier. The phases reported complete but isolation and
independent verification silently never ran, even with use_worktrees /
plan_check / verifier enabled.

Both workflows now resolve the runtime (config-get runtime, default
claude) before dispatching: run plan/execute INLINE on Claude Code so
the nested pipeline runs, and background-dispatch only on runtimes where
a backgrounded agent can still nest. Mirrors execute-phase.md's existing
Codex fail-closed precedent. Reconciles the stale unconditional
background/overlap/lean-context claims elsewhere in both workflows and
in the docs. Adds a content regression test pinning the gate.

Fixed 863

/gsd-manager and /gsd-autonomous --interactive no longer silently skip worktree isolation and independent verification on Claude Code. They dispatched plan/execute as background agents, but a backgrounded Claude Code agent has no Agent/Task tool and cannot spawn the nested executors, plan-checker, or verifier — so isolation and verification silently never ran. Both workflows now resolve the runtime and run plan/execute inline on Claude Code (background dispatch is kept on runtimes that support nested subagents).
