Tom Boucher d8ea195662 feat: add anti-pattern severity levels and mandatory understanding checks at resume (#1491) (#1610)
- Add severity column (blocking/advisory) to Critical Anti-Patterns table
  in .continue-here.md template in pause-work.md
- Document that blocking anti-patterns trigger a mandatory understanding
  check when discuss-phase or execute-phase resumes work
- Add check_blocking_antipatterns step to discuss-phase.md: parses
  .continue-here.md for blocking rows and requires three-question
  understanding demonstration before proceeding
- Add identical enforcement step to execute-phase.md
- Tests: tests/anti-pattern-enforcement.test.cjs (12 assertions, all pass)

Closes #1491
