Merge df4427ab4c into 3dd37bc94d

Replace {nextStepFile} and {skipToStepFile} frontmatter tokens with
explicit {project-root}/_bmad/ paths in all quick-spec step files.
These are LLM prompts, not config files -- inline paths are clearer
and carry semantic information without indirection. Also standardize
wording from "Load" to "Read fully and follow:" for consistency.

Also add .junie/ to .prettierignore to fix unrelated CI noise.
