* feat: add editorial review tasks for structure and prose
Add two complementary editorial review tasks:
- editorial-review-structure.xml: Structural editor that proposes cuts,
reorganization, and simplification. Includes 5 document archetype models
(Tutorial, Reference, Explanation, Prompt, Strategic) for targeted evaluation.
- editorial-review-prose.xml: Clinical copy-editor for prose improvements
using Microsoft Writing Style Guide as baseline.
Both tasks support humans and llm target audiences with different principles.
* fix: add content-sacrosanct guardrail to editorial review tasks
Both editorial review tasks (prose and structure) were missing the key
constraint that reviewers should never challenge the ideas/knowledge
themselves—only how clearly they are communicated. This restores the
original design intent.

* fix: align reader_type parameter naming across editorial tasks
Prose task was using 'target_audience' for the humans/llm optimization
flag while structure task correctly separates 'target_audience' (who
reads) from 'reader_type' (optimization mode). Aligns to reader_type.

Step 4 was missing a structured menu at the spec review checkpoint.
This caused agents to skip past the approval step without waiting for
explicit user confirmation.
Added:
- Review menu with [y] Approve, [c] Changes, [q] Questions, [a] Advanced Elicitation, [p] Party Mode
- Explicit HALT instruction
- Menu handling section
This aligns step 4 with the menu-driven pattern used in steps 1-3.
Fixes#1304
Also fixes pre-existing prettier issue in src/modules/cis/module.yaml.

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.

- Section is self-validation checklist, not measurement data

Step-01 focus is: load story + discover git changes. Nothing else.
