feat(gateway): developer i_will_work_on takes a substantive step checklist (#172)

The dev plan was a free string with only a presence gate, so the
executing dev had no checklist for plan-driven progress (#173).

- IWillWorkOnRequest gains `steps` (same SubTask shape as a PM's
  sub_tasks); flow_dev route threads it through.
- i_will_work_on layers steps onto the narrative plan via the same
  panel-shaped path PMs use, so task.plan.sub_tasks is populated
  (panel render + #173 progress).
- New _dev_steps_gate (mirrors _pm_sub_tasks_gate, runs after the spec
  gate): a developer FRESH claim must supply a non-empty steps list
  with every description >= _PM_SUBTASK_DESC_MIN_LEN. Re-entry/recovery
  short-circuit before the gate (extracted _dev_reentry +
  _fresh_dev_claim keep i_will_work_on within the
  return-count + cyclomatic gates).
- developer role prompt: steps template + "thin steps rejected" + the
  progress(plan_step=...) handoff.
- Updated every dev-fresh-claim test fixture across the suite to pass
  substantive steps; added dedicated _dev_steps_gate coverage.

Commit 2 of 3 for the plan/progress quality work (#171/#172/#173).

Auto-creates branch on first claim. **`plan` is REQUIRED** (narrative; `tracing_gap missing=['plan']` if absent). **On a FRESH claim `steps` is REQUIRED and gated** — a non-empty list of `{title, description}` where every `description` is **≥60 chars** saying what that step actually does. `steps` is your execution checklist AND your progress checklist: as you finish each, call `progress(task_id, plan_step=<step id/order>, message=...)` and the % is computed from the checklist for you.

"""#172: a developer's i_will_work_on must carry a substantive step checklist.
The dev plan was a free string with only a presence gate. Plan-driven
progress (#173) needs a checklist on the executing dev's task too, so
i_will_work_on now takes structured `steps` (same SubTask shape as a
PM's sub_tasks), gated for depth like the PM plan, persisted into
task.plan.sub_tasks via the panel-shaped path. Re-entry/recovery
short-circuit before the gate so a respawned dev is never re-blocked.
