Tom Boucher 1e3ce6df05 fix(#222): orchestrator self-heal when synthesizer returns SUMMARY.md inline (#1042)
* fix(#222): orchestrator self-heal when synthesizer returns SUMMARY.md inline

The gsd-research-synthesizer agent intermittently hits an LLM false-refusal:
instead of writing .planning/research/SUMMARY.md with the Write tool, it returns
the SUMMARY.md content inline and fabricates a non-existent write restriction
(e.g. "the runtime is blocking file writes"). The shipped prompt hardening
(#240) is necessary but insufficient — the false-refusal recurs under some
context loads, and a drifting subagent then leaves gsd-roadmapper to fail with
"SUMMARY.md not found".

Adds an orchestrator-level self-heal to new-project.md and new-milestone.md:
after the synthesizer returns, verify .planning/research/SUMMARY.md exists; if it
is missing but the agent returned content inline, the orchestrator persists that
content with the Write tool (logging a warning) before spawning gsd-roadmapper;
if missing with no content, surface the error and stop rather than proceed
against a missing SUMMARY.md. This absorbs the failure mode deterministically
instead of depending on the subagent never drifting.

Closes #222
