Converts all ./step-XX.md, step-XX.md, and steps/step-XX.md
backtick references in new-format workflow and step files to
full {project-root}/_bmad/... paths.
Refs #1718
Remove the forbidden `workflow_path` frontmatter variable from 16 step files
across 3 workflows (quick-dev, quick-spec, check-implementation-readiness).
Per BMAD workflow standards, step files should use relative paths or
{project-root} references instead.
Changes:
- quick-dev (6 files): removed workflow_path and unused thisStepFile
- quick-spec (4 files): removed workflow_path, updated templateFile to use relative path
- check-implementation-readiness (6 files): removed workflow_path, updated all references to use relative paths
Also fixes incorrect path in check-implementation-readiness that referenced
non-existent 'implementation-readiness' folder instead of 'check-implementation-readiness'.

Replace ambiguous "execute" terminology with explicit "Read fully and follow:"
phrasing across all workflow files to prevent LLM goal-seeking behavior where
models attempt to "achieve the end result" rather than following step-by-step
instructions verbatim.
Changes:
- Update 5 handler templates with canonical phrasing
- Replace ~150 INSTRUCTIONAL patterns across 87 workflow files
- Add "[Workflow] complete." prefix to 7 workflow endpoints
- Preserve BEHAVIORAL/STRUCTURAL patterns (agent descriptions, XML tags)
- Fix gitignore and markdownlint to ignore all node_modules directories
Closes#1372
