Reviewer's Guide

Adds a detailed, diagram-driven guide to how map, start, and feature execute, including their gates, artifacts, recovery semantics, and shared stage behavior, and links it from the main documentation.

File-Level Changes

Change	Details	Files
Add end-to-end flow documentation for the three primary Capstone workflows.	Introduce a new guide explaining entry-point selection, outputs, sequencing, resumability, approval gates, and persistence behavior. Document the map workflow, including drift detection, prescriptive-to-observed conversion, rebuild behavior, and read-only checks. Document the greenfield start pipeline, stage dependencies, readback reconciliation, and build approval boundary. Document the feature workflow, spec and plan gates, checksum invalidation, recursive review loop, and knowledge absorption. Describe shared stage-state, changelog, crash-recovery, safe-stopping, and decision-challenge mechanics using tables and Mermaid diagrams.	docs/flows.md
Expose the new workflow guide from the existing documentation entry points.	Link the flow guide from the README. Add a cross-reference from the command reference's entry-point section.	README.md docs/commands.md
