Materializes the Solutions Exploration Confidence dimension as a written
artifact (ideation.md) instead of a self-assessment. Forces ≥3 candidate
approaches with trade-offs (or 1 + Single-Path Escape Hatch) and an
explicit Selection before transitioning to PLAN. Rejected candidates feed
RE-PLAN's ghost-constraint scan and can be reactivated when their
rejection constraint turns out to be ghost. Validator enforces the gate
when state ≥ PLAN. 12 new tests, 109 total.

Before generating candidates, the agent must scan classified constraints
for any whose reclassification (hard ↔ soft ↔ ghost) would change which
candidates are viable. If classification is uncertain on a viability-
flipping constraint, the agent ASKs a focused question instead of
guessing. If discovered mid-generation, the agent stops, re-classifies
in findings.md, and re-runs the gate (state stays EXPLORE — the gate is
an EXPLORE sub-step).

This closes the gap where autonomous candidate generation produces a
candidate set that doesn't include the right answer because a soft
constraint was treated as hard (or vice versa). Process rule, no
artifact change — validate-plan.mjs is unchanged.

Addresses two Codex review comments on PR #1:

P1 — Empty/unreadable ideation.md silently passed validation. The early
return on falsy readFile() result bypassed all ideation checks, letting
a plan reach PLAN/EXECUTE without candidates or Selection. Now ERRORs
with "ideation.md is empty or unreadable".

P2 — Single-Path Escape Hatch was treated as populated when only "Why
no alternatives" had content; "Falsification" being placeholder ("-")
still passed. Both fields are protocol-required: a single-path claim
without a falsification trigger has no STOP signal during EXECUTE. Now
checks both, and emits a precise message when only one is populated.

3 new tests covering: empty ideation.md, escape hatch missing
Falsification, escape hatch missing Why no alternatives. 112 tests, 0
failures (was 109).

Resolves conflicts that accumulated since PR #1 was opened: main has
shipped the sub-agent architecture, Presentation Contracts (v2.17.0),
SYSTEM.md atlas (v2.16.0), per-edit changelog (v2.15.0), plan-qualified
DECISION anchors (v2.14.0), and other large changes. The original
Ideation Gate was designed as an EXPLORE sub-step in a pre-sub-agent
codebase; that no longer maps to the runtime.

Re-homed for v2.18.0:

- Gate now lives inside PLAN, owned by ip-plan-writer (not orchestrator).
  Writer is invoked in two phases: task=ideation produces ideation.md
  (>=3 candidates or 1 + populated escape hatch + Selection), task=plan
  writes plan.md after user approves the Selection.
- New PC-IDEATION presentation contract (7th total). Emitted between
  PC-EXPLORE and PC-PLAN; user can approve, redirect, or request more
  options before plan.md is built.
- Viability-flipping constraint check is now signaled by ip-plan-writer
  via NEEDS_USER_CLARIFICATION:<question> to the orchestrator, instead
  of an in-EXPLORE ask-the-user loop.
- File Lifecycle Matrix: ideation.md row updated (W in PLAN by writer,
  R in EXECUTE, R+W in PIVOT for [REACTIVATED iter-N] markers).
- PIVOT ghost-constraint scan: 4th question re-reads ideation.md
  Rejected list for candidates rejected against now-ghost constraints.

Conflict resolutions:

- VERSION: 2.10.0 (PR) and 2.17.0 (main) -> 2.18.0
- CHANGELOG.md: kept main's full history, rewrote PR's entry as v2.18.0
  reflecting the architectural re-home (PC-IDEATION, two-phase writer,
  PIVOT-not-RE-PLAN terminology)
- CLAUDE.md / README.md: kept main's rewrites; added ideation.md to
  plan tree, "Divergent ideation" row in Built-in Reasoning Frameworks
  table, badge bump to v2.18.0, test count 122 -> 134
- src/SKILL.md: kept main's structure; added Ideation Gate sub-step to
  PLAN section, ideation.md to File Lifecycle Matrix + filesystem tree +
  Mandatory Re-reads, split User Interaction PLAN row into "PLAN
  (ideation) -> PC-IDEATION" and "PLAN (plan) -> PC-PLAN", added 4th
  question to PIVOT ghost-constraint scan
- src/scripts/bootstrap.test.mjs: kept both sets of tests; merged the
  bootstrap-files-exist list to include ideation.md AND changelog.md
- src/references/file-formats.md, planning-rigor.md, bootstrap.mjs,
  validate-plan.mjs: auto-merged cleanly; PC-IDEATION definition added,
  ideation discipline rewritten to reference ip-plan-writer

Runtime wiring added (not in PR or main):

- src/agents/orchestrator.md PLAN dispatch: two-phase ip-plan-writer
  invocation with PC-IDEATION emission between phases, redirect/approve
  branching, contract count 6 -> 7
- src/agents/ip-plan-writer.md: dual-mode Your Task section, viability-
  flipping check at start of task=ideation, NEEDS_USER_CLARIFICATION
  signal, task-specific Output Format

Tests: 135 passing (was 122 on main; +13 from the ideation suite).
make validate passes.
