Trevin Chow 5c2ea42994 feat(plugin): add execution posture signaling to ce:plan-beta and ce:work ...

Bridge the gap between plans that say nothing about execution discipline
and plans that micromanage every test cycle. When TDD, test-first, or
characterization-first work is clearly warranted, plans now carry a
lightweight one-line signal in the relevant implementation units, and
ce:work honors it during execution.

Motivation: PR #230 introduced a standalone TDD skill, but it operated
outside the plan-work pipeline. PR #272 shipped ce:plan-beta with a
decision-first planning philosophy that explicitly avoids micro-step
choreography. This change completes the circuit — plans can now signal
execution posture without becoming execution scripts, and ce:work
responds proportionally without becoming a TDD state machine.

ce:plan-beta changes:
- New principle: carry execution posture lightly when it matters
- Step 1.1b: detect posture signals from user, origin doc, or local research
- Optional Execution note field on implementation units
- Guard rails against RED/GREEN/REFACTOR substep expansion
- Final checklist verifies posture is carried forward when warranted

ce:work changes:
- Phase 1: read Execution note from plan units, carry into tasks
- Honor explicit user TDD requests even without plan Execution notes
- Subagent dispatch includes Execution note
- Post-loop guidance for test-first and characterization-first execution
- Guardrails: verify red before green, no combined test+impl steps,
  skip test-first for trivial renames/config/styling
