code-modernization: pilot-first uplift migration, brief-driven execution, deeper preflight

/modernize-uplift migrates one representative project end-to-end and
writes its lessons to analysis/<system>/PLAYBOOK.md before touching the
rest. The remaining projects then fan out through a new uplift-migrate
workflow, one uplift-migrator agent per project, in dependency-aware
escalating batches behind a per-batch circuit breaker. A recorded
per-test baseline (analysis/<system>/BASELINE.md) gates the migration,
and the delta catalog reports a test framework whose runner does not
support the target as its own highest-blast-radius dependency.

The three execution commands (uplift, transform, reimagine) read
MODERNIZATION_BRIEF.md and treat their phase's scope and entry and exit
criteria as gates, so editing the brief steers execution. For a
same-stack uplift the brief requires the delta catalog and applies the
same ordering overrides the execution command does.

/modernize-preflight opens with a short interview (scope, local build
and test, bespoke build infrastructure, prior attempts, what is off
limits) without blocking on the answers, reads the CI/build definition
for how the system builds, escalates the smoke test to a whole-project
restore and build, and adds a scope-boundary check that enumerates
inbound and outbound dependencies when the system directory is a slice
of a larger repository.

Workflow scripts accept args delivered as either a JSON string or an
object.
