fix: pin inquirer to v8.2.6 for CommonJS compatibility

inquirer v9+ is ESM-only which causes ERR_REQUIRE_ESM error when running `npx bmad-method@alpha install` in CommonJS projects. Changes: - Pin inquirer to ^8.2.6 (last CommonJS-compatible version) - Simplify require statements by removing unnecessary `.default` fallback This fixes the following error: ``` Error [ERR_REQUIRE_ESM]: require() of ES Module inquirer not supported. ``` 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
