Subject: [PATCH] fix: make story verification executable with REQUIRED bash
 commands in orchestrator

**Critical Changes:**
1. Workflow.md now explicitly tells orchestrator to USE BASH TOOL
2. Bash commands must be run, not just read
3. If verification fails, orchestrator must use Edit/Bash tools to fix NOW
4. Verification is MANDATORY before story marked complete

**Both workflows now enforce this:**
- super-dev-pipeline: Reconciler agent + Final Verification
- batch-super-dev: Orchestrator runs bash verification after each agent

**Version:** 6.0.0-Beta.5
