Tom Boucher 19c1f54a2a fix(#2316): stop phase complete silently dropping ghost requirement IDs (#2339)
* test(#2316): fail-first tests for ghost REQ-IDs, v-heading over-match, all-orphan gap check

Red phase: 4 of 10 fail against current source (#2316-1 ghost-ID warning,
-3 requirements_updated honesty, -4a v1-heading suppression, -6b all-orphan gap
rows). The other 6 are controls/boundaries that must keep passing — including the
#1159 deferred-heading guard and the literal "TBD" placeholder boundary.

* fix(#2316): stop phase complete silently dropping ghost requirement IDs

phase complete parses a phase's `**Requirements**:` line from ROADMAP.md and
reconciles it into REQUIREMENTS.md. When a cited ID was registered nowhere, every
branch degraded to a no-op and the report was indistinguishable from a run that
applied every update: `requirements_updated: true, warnings: [], has_warnings:
false`, file byte-for-byte unchanged.

Four defects on that path, all long-standing (traced to 2bc295b32d, v1.2.0):

1. The only cross-check compared REQUIREMENTS.md's own body against its own
   Traceability table, so an ID cited by ROADMAP but defined in neither was
   invisible to it. `citedReqIds` is now hoisted out of the `if (reqMatch)` block
   and cross-checked; ghost IDs raise a warning through the existing
   warnings/has_warnings surface that execute-phase.md already prints.
2. `if (reqUpdate.ok)` had no `else`, so a Traceability-row write matching
   nothing was discarded silently. Misses are now recorded.
3. `requirements_updated` was set unconditionally inside `if (existsSync)`,
   reporting "the file was in the transaction" rather than "a write landed". It
   now reflects whether the content actually changed.
4. DEFERRED_HEADING_RE's bare `v\d+` alternative treated an active `## v1
   Requirements` heading as deferred, zeroing the body scan for that section.
   Dropped; `deferred|backlog|future` still match, so #1159's suite still holds.

Also fixes the same class in gap-checker: the `items.length === 0` early return
fired before ghost rows were folded in, so an all-unregistered phase reported
LESS than a partially-unregistered one. It is now gated on ghostReqIds too.

Follows the #2140 precedent in milestone.cts, which hardened this exact class for
`requirements mark-complete`; adapted to this function's single `warnings` array
rather than adding fields execute-phase.md never reads.

* fix(#2316): address review — milestone-aware deferred headings, probe-based ghost check

Independent review found the first pass green but wrong — the tests were built to
miss the shape that breaks.

BLOCKER: dropping the `v\d+` alternative from DEFERRED_HEADING_RE regressed #1159
against GSD's OWN shipped template. gsd-core/templates/requirements.md:35 ships
`## v2 Requirements` with the deferred-ness in the BODY PROSE ("Deferred to future
release"), not the heading — so `v\d+` was the only alternative matching it.
Deleting it made every scaffolded project emit a false traceability warning on
every phase complete, forever. The real problem is that `v\d+` matched BOTH the
active v1 and the deferred v2: deleting it swings from suppress-everything to
suppress-nothing. The heading check is now milestone-aware — a `## v<N>` heading
is deferred only when <N> is not the current milestone's major, resolved through
the existing state.cjs seam. Unresolvable milestone fails safe to the old
always-deferred behavior, since suppressing a warning beats spamming every project.

HIGH: the ghost check re-derived membership from two lossy index sets that
disagreed with the case-insensitive write paths, so it warned "not registered
anywhere" about an ID whose checkbox it had just ticked, and about a
case-mismatched ID whose write landed. It now probes the same two write surfaces
the writes use, mirroring milestone.cts's #2140 precedent (probe the write, don't
re-derive it) — which is what the original brief asked for and the first pass
didn't do.

HIGH: the cited-ID tokenizer split the rest of the line on whitespace, so every
trailing word became a "cited REQ-ID". The shipped roadmap.md template puts an
inline HTML comment on that exact line, so a fully correct run told users to
register `<!--` and `-->` as requirements. Cited IDs are now filtered to the
REQ-ID shape, matching what bodyReqIds/tableReqIds already require.

HIGH: gap-checker had the identical early-return defect 34 lines above the one
fixed — the could-not-parse branch gated ghost rows behind the same unguarded
items.length. One malformed <decisions> line made all ghost rows vanish.

Tests: the #2316-5 guard only covered `## Deferred`/`## Backlog`/`## Future` —
headings that trivially still match — omitting `## v2 Requirements`, the only
shape the change altered. Added the shipped-template fixture plus guards for each
finding above.
