feat(quick-dev): one-shot route generates spec trace file (#2121)
* feat(quick-dev): generate spec trace file for one-shot route

One-shot changes now leave a lightweight spec file with frontmatter,
intent summary, and suggested review order — eliminating numbering
gaps when quick-dev is used as the primary dev loop.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* refactor(quick-dev): reference spec template instead of inlining structure

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* refactor(quick-dev): deduplicate slug derivation and clarify title variable

Extract shared slug derivation logic above the route fork in step-01 so
both one-shot and plan-code-review routes use a single instruction block.
Add explicit title variable assignment in step-oneshot before it is
referenced in the Generate Spec Trace section.

de Villiers du Toit ad77c8e1c6 feat: expand advanced elicitation methods with 19 new techniques
Adds 19 new elicitation methods across 7 categories including a new
'framing' category. All existing 50 methods preserved. Entries sorted
alphabetically by category then method name.

New methods added:
- advanced: Chain-of-Thought Scaffolding, Few-Shot Exemplar Priming
- collaboration: Six Thinking Hats, Delphi Method
- core: Second-Order Thinking, Inversion Analysis, Problem Decomposition,
  Analogy Mapping, Steelmanning
- creative: Constraint Injection, Morphological Analysis
- framing (new): Abstraction Laddering, Reframe the Question,
  Stakeholder Lens Rotation
- learning: Deliberate Practice Loop
- research: Source Triangulation
- risk: Assumption Audit, Cascading Failure Simulation
- technical: Boundary & Edge Case Sweep

Closes #2061

### 3. Present Responses ### 3. Present Responses
Collect all agent responses and present them to the user as-is. Don't summarize, edit, or reorder them. If an agent's response is particularly brief or says they have nothing to add, that's fine — include it anyway so the user sees the full picture. Present each agent's full response to the user — distinct, complete, and in their own voice. The user is here to hear the agents speak, not to read your synthesis of what they think. Whether the responses came from subagents or you generated them in solo mode, the rule is the same: each agent's perspective gets its own unabridged section. Never blend, paraphrase, or condense agent responses into a summary.
After presenting, you can optionally add a brief orchestrator note if it would help — like flagging a clear disagreement worth exploring, or noting an agent whose perspective might be relevant but wasn't included this round. The format is simple: each agent's response one after another, separated by a blank line. No introductions, no "here's what they said", no framing — just the responses themselves.
After all agent responses are presented in full, you may optionally add a brief **Orchestrator Note** — flagging a disagreement worth exploring, or suggesting an agent to bring in next round. Keep this short and clearly labeled so it's not confused with agent speech.
