* fix(build): use file glob instead of sidebar parsing for llms-full.txt
Replace brittle sidebar.js regex parsing with recursive file glob.
The old approach captured non-file strings like 'autogenerated' and
category labels, resulting in only 5 files being processed.
Now correctly processes all 86+ markdown files (~95k tokens).

Skip to substep 5 correctly communicates jumping past the rest of the git
discovery logic in substep 4 when git repo is not found. Proceed would
suggest normal sequential flow, but we are skipping the conditional branch.

Changed "Skip to substep 6" (which does not exist) to "Proceed to substep 5".
Step only has 5 substeps. After setting NO_GIT flag, workflow continues to
substep 5 (Cross-Reference Story vs Git), not to a non-existent substep 6.
Fixes h2 finding from adversarial review.

Correct terminology:
- "Metrics" implies quantitative measurement
- These are actually pass/fail criteria for step completion
- Section is self-validation checklist, not measurement data
Reframe as checkpoint before proceeding to next step:
- Add "Before proceeding to the next step, verify ALL of the following:"
- Change "If any metric" to "If any item"
- Explicit instruction: "Do NOT proceed to the next step" if checklist fails

Step-01 focus is: load story + discover git changes. Nothing else.
Project context loading belongs in step-04 (Context-Aware Review) where it
provides audit rules, principles, and requirements for validating AC

Step-01 substeps 5:
- If no git changes detected: halt and ask user "Continue anyway?"
Allows AC audit on story File List even if no code changes in git
- Exclude git-ignored files from discrepancy comparison

Step-01 substep-4:
- Use git diff -M to detect renamed/moved files
- Include deleted, renamed files in git_changed_files
- Adversarial reviewer needs to see deletions (e.g., critical code removed)

Step 01 audit findings:
- Substep 3 was extracting items not needed by step-01 (ACs, tasks, changelog)
Trimmed to only extract story_file_list (needed for git comparison)
- Success/failure criteria now explicitly guard story_content completeness
since downstream steps depend on the full file content
- Removed "downstream" jargon in favor of "later steps"

- Rewrote Identify Story section with explicit two-path algorithm (file path vs sprint_status search)
- Added verification step for files not in sprint_status with user confirmation flow
