* feat(bmad): add BMad control-plane protocol skill

New standalone methodology skill that lets any agent run the BMad method
(Breakthrough Method of Agile AI-Driven Development) as a harness-agnostic
control-plane protocol: five-field intent contracts, direct/bounded/initiative
classification, review-as-triage, failure routing by layer, and autonomy gating
with machine-readable spec status.

- SKILL.md protocol core with progressive disclosure + When not to use
- README.md human-facing install guide
- 9 references: protocol, classification, spec, lifecycle, project-context,
  review-and-failure-routing, autonomy, party-mode, adoption
- 4 templates: SPEC, INTENT, STORY, REVIEW
- scripts/check-spec.py + 16 tests (stdlib, deterministic spec validation)
- evals/evals.json: 9 output-quality cases
- Routing seams from bmad to adjacent skills and back from
  spec-driven-development, product-shaping, implementation-planning, neckbeard
- Catalog updates: root README, skill-triggers, marketplace/plugin/llms.txt

Closes #399

* fix(bmad): address droid-review findings

- check-spec.py: skip headings inside fenced/indented code blocks so a spec
  cannot PASS on section text that only appears in a code sample
- check-spec.py: catch UnicodeDecodeError on non-UTF-8 files and report FAIL
  instead of crashing
- STORY.md template: add created key for resumability/traceability parity
- SPEC.md template: split in-progress and in-review status bullets
- add 2 regression tests (heading-in-fence, non-UTF-8)

* fix(bmad): address droid-review round 2

- check-spec.py: read specs with utf-8-sig so a UTF-8 BOM cannot silently
  disable the frontmatter status check
- check-spec.py: handle standard YAML inline comments after status values
  (status: draft  # pending review) without a false FAIL
- references/protocol.md: make lifecycle phrasing consistent with
  lifecycle.md — four phases plus a learning closeout
- add 2 regression tests (BOM, inline comment)

* fix(bmad): tolerate trailing whitespace on frontmatter delimiters

A spec whose --- delimiter lines carry trailing spaces or tabs would silently
disable the status check and let an invalid status PASS. Relax the delimiter
pattern and add a regression test.

* fix(bmad): ignore inline comments in quoted status values

* fix(bmad): tolerate leading blank lines before frontmatter

* fix(bmad): fail closed on unparseable frontmatter, matching fence markers

Address droid-review round 5 and 6 findings as a single closed class:
- Fail closed when a file opens with a --- delimiter that cannot be parsed,
  so no whitespace/frontmatter permutation can silently disable the status
  check (previously: unparseable frontmatter was treated as 'no status'
  warning, letting an invalid status PASS).
- Track fence opener markers in collect_headings so a mismatched fence no
  longer closes a code block early (false-PASS on missing sections) and an
  unclosed fence no longer swallows real headings.
- Accept empty well-formed frontmatter (---\n---) and closing delimiters
  without a trailing newline.
- STORY.md template: parent-spec points at the sibling SPEC.md.
- README: status vocabulary is not a strict linear chain; blocked is a
  resumable routing signal.

Whitespace/frontmatter mutation sweep: 9 formatting variants x valid/invalid
status all verdict correctly; malformed delimiters fail closed. 29 tests.

Story:

One bounded, dispatchable work unit. A story is coherent, independently finishable, and carries everything the implementing agent needs without inventing decisions.

Context

  • Parent spec or intent contract (link).
  • The slice of the contract this story owns.
  • What is already true in the codebase (verify, do not assume).

Acceptance criteria

  • Observable, binary outcomes (PASS/FAIL possible).
  • Each criterion traces to a contract capability or constraint.

Boundaries

  • In scope.
  • Out of scope (and where deferred items are tracked).
  • Architecture decisions already made that this story must preserve.

Implementation notes

  • Files or components expected to change (draft; the implementer verifies).
  • Commands with non-obvious prerequisites.
  • Known pitfalls observed in this area.

Verification

  • Tests to run (focused first).
  • Evaluations or manual observations required.
  • Independent review needed? (separate evaluator where risk warrants it)

Status history

  • ready-for-dev — passed readiness.
  • in-progress — implementation underway.
  • in-review — review/triage underway.
  • done — completed and accepted.
  • blocked — cannot continue safely; routing signal.
