Summary

AI summary

Added Builder Interview, Research Gate, domain‑expert synthesis artifact, and verification script enforcing new contract steps before builds.

Full changelog

Added the Builder Interview and Research Gate for /hephaestus-build.
Substantial single-agent, team-builder, and packager runs must now ask an
8-12 question first batch before generating behavior.
Made similar-agent/repository research and academic or professional theory
research part of the minimum build contract, with no-match evidence required
when direct comparables or domain-specific theory are unavailable.
Added the domain-expert synthesis artifact so interview answers,
comparable-agent research, theory, and tool/plugin selection are converted
into concrete specialist prompt behavior before final role prompts are
written.
Added reusable templates for builder interviews, research dossiers,
tool/plugin selection, domain-expert synthesis, prompt-performance contracts,
and capability evaluation plans.
Added scripts/verify-builder-quality-contract.sh and wired it into package
verification so command adapters and builder docs cannot silently drop the
interview/research/theory/synthesis requirements.
Included the local GUI shortcut routing update so eligible Hub-only MCP
routes can open local GUI surfaces instead of falling through generic routing.

Substantial single‑agent, team‑builder, and packager runs now require an 8‑12 question Builder Interview batch before generating behavior.
`scripts/verify-builder-quality-contract.sh` is wired into package verification; adapters and docs can no longer silently drop interview/research/theory/synthesis requirements.
