🤖 Wire development cycle into Spire skills and agents

Igor now has a Development Cycle section with six stages, review decision
tree, Athanor queuing rules, and separation principle. Athanor, implementation,
research, and research-tree skills all reference their cycle stage. Fixed
remaining Athanor metaphor inversions in the plugin design spec.

This skill regulates **how** research agents behave. It does not replace research-tree (which governs the **structure** of multi-topic research) or workpad (which governs **where** output goes). It layers on top of both.
**Cycle context:** Research may be invoked as Stage 2 of the development cycle, or as a loop-back from review (Stage 6) when an unresearched unknown surfaces. Its output feeds into design (Stage 3).
## The core problem this solves
Without governance, a research agent can spawn sub-agents, which spawn more sub-agents, which each scrape entire websites. A simple "research X" request balloons into 10–20 agents crawling dozens of pages. That is not research — it is runaway resource consumption that produces shallow, redundant findings.
