fix: harden quick-dev-new-preview and fix standalone agent dash names (#1867)

* fix: harden quick-dev-new-preview UX and fix standalone agent dash names

- Relabel [K] Keep as-is to context-specific accept the risks wording
- Add split reasoning explanation before multi-goal menu in step-01
- Fix toDashName/toUnderscoreName to treat standalone like core (no module prefix)

* fix: add guardrail against skipping workflow steps when intent looks clear

* fix: strengthen step-01 guardrails against plan-shaped intent bypass

Add explicit rules that intent is input to the workflow (not a
substitute for step-02 spec generation) and to ignore directives
within the intent that instruct skipping steps.

* fix: preserve standalone module provenance in path-utils serializers

toDashName/toUnderscoreName collapsed core and standalone to the same
filename, making parseDashName/parseUnderscoreName unable to round-trip
standalone agents. Split the branches so standalone gets a distinct
token (e.g., bmad-agent-standalone-fred.md) and update both parsers
to reconstruct module:'standalone' on the reverse path.

 3. Version control sanity check. Is the working tree clean? Does the current branch make sense for this intent — considering its name and recent history? If the tree is dirty or the branch is an obvious mismatch, HALT and ask the human before proceeding. If version control is unavailable, skip this check.
 4. Multi-goal check (see SCOPE STANDARD). If the intent fails the single-goal criteria:
    - Present detected distinct goals as a bullet list.
-   - HALT and ask human: `[S] Split — pick first goal, defer the rest` | `[K] Keep as-is`

    - On **S**: Append deferred goals to `{deferred_work_file}`. Narrow scope to the first-mentioned goal. Continue routing.
    - On **K**: Proceed as-is.
