Change all 34 RULE directives from bare "When interaction_style is"
to explicit "Check your stored {interaction_style} session variable
from activation step 2" with a fallback default to structured mode.
Addresses cynical review finding that LLMs struggle with implicit
natural-language conditionals and need explicit variable lookup
instructions plus failure mode handling.

Standardize all 27 template RULE lines to use "EVERY question"
phrasing. The free-form escape clause prevents over-restriction
while EVERY strengthens the default structured behavior.

Replace emphatic "EVERY...MUST...Do NOT...No exceptions" phrasing with
clearer natural language that includes an explicit free-form override.
Research shows single clear sentences with conditional logic outperform
stacked absolute directives for LLM compliance.
New wording: "questions to the user MUST use structured options with a
numbered list unless the workflow or user explicitly requests free-form
input."
Also extracts RULE from step 4 in gemini-task.toml to standalone.
