docs(prompts): teach all roles the structured verb shapes (pre-gateway parity)
Counterpart tobcc748c. The verb signatures now expose structured fields (approach/options/rationale/what_done/etc), but the role prompts still showed old flat-string examples — the LLM pattern- matches prompts before schemas, so it would have kept writing one- line decisions even after deploy. Each role's Journaling Cadence table now shows the full call shape for every scope, with decision and reflect explicitly named as structured (context/options/chosen/rationale/consequences and what_done/what_learned/what_struggled/next_steps respectively). PM prompts also gained: - `i_will_plan` widened to show approach / technical_considerations / risks / open_questions, with an explicit "empty values produce an empty Plan tab — a regression" line - `delegate` shows `nature` (technical/non_technical) and notes the sibling-dedup guard - Cell PM gets the dev-only task_type rule (code/documentation/research) - Main PM gets the planning-only rule for Cell PM delegations - `say`/`dm` lists every valid channel slug verbatim so the LLM stops inventing ("backend-dev", "backend") Prompts are read at agent spawn, so this takes effect on the next container restart — no Python rebuild required. Combined withbcc748cthis is the full pre-gateway-parity restoration.
