Renn F 87b18bc64f fix(gateway): spine-cap remediate forbids task_type workaround
Smoke-7: be-pm got the expected spine-cap rejection on a second
delegate. The remediate said "drive the existing sibling to
completion / cancel it, OR split this parent into two sibling
parents". The model read that, decided neither applied, and
"adapted" by re-delegating with task_type='documentation' as a
"verification subtask". The gateway accepted it (different type =
no cap collision) but the orphan subtask had no claimant — it
blocked submit_up forever with "subtasks not all terminal".

Two-layer fix:

1. _spine_type_dup_envelope remediate now explicitly forbids the
   workaround: "DO NOT work around this by delegating again with a
   different task_type (e.g. 'documentation' or 'research' as a
   'verification' subtask). The lifecycle handles QA, documentation,
   and PM-review automatically after the code subtask finishes —
   you do not create auxiliary subtasks for those roles. Call
   i_am_idle() now and wait for the existing child to come back."

2. cell_pm.md workflow step 6 strengthened to name the anti-pattern
   explicitly: no verification subtask (QA is the verification step);
   never re-delegate with a different task_type as a workaround.

3 new tests pin the remediate text: forbids workaround, names the
verification anti-pattern, retains invalid_state error kind.
