Paul BakausandClaude Opus 4.7 afc974d630 shape: restore image-gen announcement + explicit brief confirmation
Two specific gates that ea2e372 weakened, restored. The cadence
relaxation (one round is the default) and the compact-brief option
stay; this commit only undoes the changes that traded forcing
functions for model-judgment calls the model is bad at making.

1. Image-gen skip is announced, not silent. "Skip silently and
   proceed" gave models like GPT 5.5 license to elide image
   generation entirely. Restored to "state in one line that the
   image step is skipped because the harness lacks native image
   generation, then proceed." The one-line announcement is the
   conscious-decision forcing function.

2. Brief confirmation is explicit, not assumed. "If the user
   already said 'approved' or 'go' during discovery for the exact
   direction you'd present, that counts as confirmation" gave the
   model an out to skip the pause based on its own read. Restored
   to "stop and wait for explicit confirmation. You are not the
   judge of whether the user already approved."

Net: shape still asks one round by default and supports compact
briefs, but the two specific places where the model could skip
discipline without saying so are gone.
