refactor: PM Agent complete independence from external MCP servers (#439)
* refactor: PM Agent complete independence from external MCP servers

## Summary
Implement graceful degradation to ensure PM Agent operates fully without
any MCP server dependencies. MCP servers now serve as optional enhancements
rather than required components.

## Changes

### Responsibility Separation (NEW)
- **PM Agent**: Development workflow orchestration (PDCA cycle, task management)
- **mindbase**: Memory management (long-term, freshness, error learning)
- **Built-in memory**: Session-internal context (volatile)

### 3-Layer Memory Architecture with Fallbacks
1. **Built-in Memory** [OPTIONAL]: Session context via MCP memory server
2. **mindbase** [OPTIONAL]: Long-term semantic search via airis-mcp-gateway
3. **Local Files** [ALWAYS]: Core functionality in docs/memory/

### Graceful Degradation Implementation
- All MCP operations marked with [ALWAYS] or [OPTIONAL]
- Explicit IF/ELSE fallback logic for every MCP call
- Dual storage: Always write to local files + optionally to mindbase
- Smart lookup: Semantic search (if available) → Text search (always works)

### Key Fallback Strategies

**Session Start**:
- mindbase available: search_conversations() for semantic context
- mindbase unavailable: Grep docs/memory/*.jsonl for text-based lookup

**Error Detection**:
- mindbase available: Semantic search for similar past errors
- mindbase unavailable: Grep docs/mistakes/ + solutions_learned.jsonl

**Knowledge Capture**:
- Always: echo >> docs/memory/patterns_learned.jsonl (persistent)
- Optional: mindbase.store() for semantic search enhancement

## Benefits
-  Zero external dependencies (100% functionality without MCP)
-  Enhanced capabilities when MCPs available (semantic search, freshness)
-  No functionality loss, only reduced search intelligence
-  Transparent degradation (no error messages, automatic fallback)

## Related Research
- Serena MCP investigation: Exposes tools (not resources), memory = markdown files
- mindbase superiority: PostgreSQL + pgvector > Serena memory features

- **config**: API key management with format validation

### Technical Improvements
- Dependencies: Added typer>=0.9.0, rich>=13.0.0, click>=8.0.0
- Entry Point: Updated pyproject.toml to use `superclaude.cli.app:cli_main`
- Tests: Added comprehensive smoke tests (11 passed)

### User Experience Enhancements
- Rich formatted help messages with panels and tables
- Automatic input validation with retry loops
- Clear error messages with actionable suggestions
- Non-interactive mode support for CI/CD

## Testing

```bash
uv run superclaude --help     # ✓ Works
uv run superclaude doctor     # ✓ Rich table output
uv run superclaude config show # ✓ API key management
pytest tests/test_cli_smoke.py # ✓ 11 passed, 1 skipped
```

## Migration Path

-  P0: Foundation complete (typer + rich + smoke tests)
- 🔜 P1: Pydantic validation models (next sprint)
- 🔜 P2: Enhanced error messages (next sprint)
- 🔜 P3: API key retry loops (next sprint)

## Performance Impact

* refactor: simplify MCP installer to unified gateway with legacy mode

## Changes

### MCP Component (setup/components/mcp.py)
- Simplified to single airis-mcp-gateway by default
- Added legacy mode for individual official servers (sequential-thinking, context7, magic, playwright)
- Dynamic prerequisites based on mode:
  - Default: uv + claude CLI only
  - Legacy: node (18+) + npm + claude CLI
- Removed redundant server definitions

### CLI Integration
- Added --legacy flag to setup/cli/commands/install.py
- Added --legacy flag to superclaude/cli/commands/install.py
- Config passes legacy_mode to component installer

## Benefits
-  Simpler: 1 gateway vs 9+ individual servers
-  Lighter: No Node.js/npm required (default mode)
-  Unified: All tools in one gateway (sequential-thinking, context7, magic, playwright, serena, morphllm, tavily, chrome-devtools, git, puppeteer)
-  Flexible: --legacy flag for official servers if needed

## Usage
```bash
superclaude install              # Default: airis-mcp-gateway (推奨)
superclaude install --legacy     # Legacy: individual official servers
```

* refactor: rename CoreComponent to FrameworkDocsComponent and add PM token tracking

## Changes

### Component Renaming (setup/components/)
- Renamed CoreComponent → FrameworkDocsComponent for clarity
- Updated all imports in __init__.py, agents.py, commands.py, mcp_docs.py, modes.py
- Better reflects the actual purpose (framework documentation files)

### PM Agent Enhancement (superclaude/commands/pm.md)
- Added token usage tracking instructions
- PM Agent now reports:
  1. Current token usage from system warnings
  2. Percentage used (e.g., "27% used" for 54K/200K)
  3. Status zone: 🟢 <75% | 🟡 75-85% | 🔴 >85%
- Helps prevent token exhaustion during long sessions

### UI Utilities (setup/utils/ui.py)
- Added new UI utility module for installer
- Provides consistent user interface components

## Benefits
-  Clearer component naming (FrameworkDocs vs Core)
-  PM Agent token awareness for efficiency
-  Better visual feedback with status zones

* refactor(pm-agent): minimize output verbosity (471→284 lines, 40% reduction)

**Problem**: PM Agent generated excessive output with redundant explanations
- "System Status Report" with decorative formatting
- Repeated "Common Tasks" lists user already knows
- Verbose session start/end protocols
- Duplicate file operations documentation

**Solution**: Compress without losing functionality
- Session Start: Reduced to symbol-only status (🟢 branch | nM nD | token%)
- Session End: Compressed to essential actions only
- File Operations: Consolidated from 2 sections to 1 line reference
- Self-Improvement: 5 phases → 1 unified workflow
- Output Rules: Explicit constraints to prevent Claude over-explanation

**Quality Preservation**:
-  All core functions retained (PDCA, memory, patterns, mistakes)
-  PARALLEL Read/Write preserved (performance critical)
-  Workflow unchanged (session lifecycle intact)
-  Added output constraints (prevents verbose generation)

**Reduction Method**:
- Deleted: Explanatory text, examples, redundant sections
- Retained: Action definitions, file paths, core workflows
- Added: Explicit output constraints to enforce minimalism

**Token Impact**: 40% reduction in agent documentation size
**Before**: Verbose multi-section report with task lists
**After**: Single line status: 🟢 integration | 15M 17D | 36%

* refactor: consolidate MCP integration to unified gateway

**Changes**:
- Remove individual MCP server docs (superclaude/mcp/*.md)
- Remove MCP server configs (superclaude/mcp/configs/*.json)
- Delete MCP docs component (setup/components/mcp_docs.py)
- Simplify installer (setup/core/installer.py)
- Update components for unified gateway approach

**Rationale**:
- Unified gateway (airis-mcp-gateway) provides all MCP servers
- Individual docs/configs no longer needed (managed centrally)
- Reduces maintenance burden and file count
- Simplifies installation process

**Files Removed**: 17 MCP files (docs + configs)

  <invoke Read file2>
  <invoke Read file3>
[all execute simultaneously]

Wave-Based Execution

Dependency Analysis:
  Wave 1: No dependencies (start immediately)
  Wave 2: Depends on Wave 1 (wait for Wave 1)
  Wave 3: Depends on Wave 2 (wait for Wave 2)

Parallelization within Wave:
  Wave 3: [Agent A, Agent B, Agent C] → All run simultaneously
  Execution time: max(Agent A, Agent B, Agent C)
