Tom Boucher ac001be49e fix(#1778): use 1.6 named-flag frontmatter.set form in thread workflow (#1816)
* fix(#1778): use 1.6 named-flag frontmatter.set form in thread workflow

The thread workflow's CLOSE and RESUME branches called frontmatter.set with
the pre-1.6 fully-positional shape (frontmatter.set <file> <field> <value>).
Since 1.6 the dispatcher (gsd-tools.cjs) parses the file positionally and
reads field/value from the named flags --field/--value via parseNamedArgs;
the positional form leaves field/value undefined, cmdFrontmatterSet errors
'file, field, and value required', and the status/updated writes are
silently skipped. Closing a thread never marked it status: resolved and
resuming never marked it status: in_progress.

Switch all four sites (CLOSE status+updated, RESUME status+updated) to the
1.6 hybrid form that verify-work.md already uses:
  frontmatter.set <file> --field <field> --value <value>

Add a regression test with three guards: (1) behavioral — the named-flag
form writes the field while the positional form errors with the documented
message and does not mutate the file; (2) workflow parity — no workflow
under gsd-core/workflows/ emits the positional form, so a future edit that
reintroduces it anywhere fails CI; (3) thread-specific — CLOSE writes
status: resolved and RESUME writes status: in_progress via the named flags.

* docs(#1778): add changeset fragment for thread workflow frontmatter fix

* docs(#1778): fix unclosed inline-code backtick in changeset fragment

* fix(#1778): move regression into owning test + regen baselines

lint-regression-test-names rejects new bug-NNNN-*.test.cjs files; move the
#1778 regression (behavioral named-vs-positional + workflow-parity scan +
thread CLOSE/RESUME assertions) into tests/frontmatter-cli.test.cjs, the
canonical home for frontmatter CLI regressions, and delete the standalone
file. frontmatter-cli.test.cjs already carries the allow-test-rule exemption
for workflow .md content tests.

gsd-core/workflows/thread.md ships to every runtime and is size-tracked, so
recapture the 16 golden-install-parity fixtures (thread.md hash) and the
per-file workflow size baseline (thread.md 12400 -> 12464) via UPDATE_GOLDEN=1
and npm run size:baseline.

**`/gsd-thread close|resume` now writes the thread status/updated frontmatter (#1778)** — the thread workflow's CLOSE and RESUME branches invoked `frontmatter.set` with the pre-1.6 fully-positional shape (`frontmatter.set <file> <field> <value>`), but since 1.6 the dispatcher parses the file positionally and reads `field`/`value` from the named flags `--field`/`--value` via `parseNamedArgs`. The positional form left `field`/`value` undefined, `cmdFrontmatterSet` errored `file, field, and value required`, and the writes were silently skipped — so closing a thread never marked it `status: resolved` and resuming never marked it `status: in_progress`, with the error scrolling past on every thread command. All four sites (CLOSE `status`+`updated`, RESUME `status`+`updated`) now use the 1.6 hybrid form that `verify-work.md` already uses (`frontmatter.set <file> --field <field> --value <value>`).
