fix(prompt): Main PM delegate description is a goal+constraints brief, not a solution-dump

delegate already requires substantive acceptance_criteria (TASK_AT_CREATE
completeness), so the defect was not missing criteria — it was the Main PM
writing the cell-PM subtask description as prescriptive prose that dictates
the cell's solution (e.g. a full UX layout for a design task), doing the
cell's job and wasting the expertise it delegated to. The role doc now tells
the Main PM the description is a brief: state the goal + the constraints to
fit, leave the HOW to the cell, and for design tasks give the problem, not a
mockup.
