🤖 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.

 # Research Tree

+**Cycle context:** Research-tree is the structured form of Stage 2; its output feeds Stage 3 (design).
+
 Most non-trivial research questions decompose into many sub-topics, and those sub-topics are *not* independent — later questions get sharper once earlier ones are answered. Running every sub-topic in parallel as peer agents wastes work and produces shallow, redundant findings. Running them strictly in series wastes wall-clock time. The right shape is a **tree of phases**: within a phase, agents run in parallel; between phases, later agents inherit the earlier reports.

 This skill describes how to plan and run that tree. It does not describe how to write the contents of an individual research report — that's up to the agent doing the writing, plus whatever conventions the project has.
