feat(ultraplan-local)!: v2.0.0 — brief-driven four-command pipeline

Extract interview from /ultraplan-local into new /ultrabrief-local command.
/ultraplan-local now requires --brief or --project (breaking). All pipeline
artifacts land in one project directory: .claude/projects/{date}-{slug}/
with brief.md, research/, plan.md, sessions/, progress.json.

Breaking changes:
- /ultraplan-local requires --brief <path> or --project <dir>
- /ultraplan-local --spec removed (convert specs to briefs per MIGRATION.md)
- Interview phase moved to /ultrabrief-local
- spec-reviewer renamed to brief-reviewer with 5th dimension (Research Plan validity)

Added:
- /ultrabrief-local command (interactive interview → brief.md with research plan)
- templates/ultrabrief-template.md (task brief format with intent + research plan)
- brief-reviewer agent (5-dimension brief quality review)
- --project <dir> flag on /ultraresearch-local, /ultraplan-local, /ultraexecute-local
- MIGRATION.md (v1 → v2 upgrade guide)

Changed:
- planning-orchestrator accepts Brief file: input (was Spec file:)
- planning-orchestrator Phase 1b uses brief-reviewer
- README + CLAUDE.md rewritten for four-command pipeline and task/research brief terminology
- CHANGELOG.md [2.0.0] entry with rationale
- Marketplace root README + CLAUDE.md updated to v2.0.0

## Input
You will receive a prompt containing:
- **Spec file path** — the requirements document
- **Task description** — one-line summary
- **Brief file path** — the task brief (produced by `/ultrabrief-local`)
- **Project dir** (optional) — path to an ultrabrief project folder when the user
invoked `/ultraplan-local --project`. If set, the plan destination is
`{project_dir}/plan.md` and any `{project_dir}/research/*.md` files are
pre-existing research briefs to read.
- **Task description** — one-line summary (matches the brief's frontmatter `task`)
- **Plan file destination** — where to write the plan
- **Plugin root** — for template access
- **Mode** (optional) — if `mode: quick`, skip the agent swarm and use lightweight scanning
- **Research briefs** (optional) — paths to ultraresearch-local briefs. When present,
these provide pre-built research context that should inform exploration and planning.
Read each brief before launching exploration agents.
- **Research briefs** (optional) — paths to research briefs. Includes both
auto-discovered `{project_dir}/research/*.md` files and any explicit briefs
passed via `--research`. Read each brief before launching exploration agents.
Read the spec file first. It defines the scope of your work.
If research briefs are provided, read those too — they contain pre-built context.
Read the brief file first. It is the contract that bounds your work. Parse its

Success Criteria, Research Plan, Open Questions, Prior Attempts).
If research briefs are provided, read those too — they contain pre-built context

## Rules
- **Brief is the contract.** Every plan decision must trace back to a section
of the brief (Intent, Goal, Constraint, Preference, NFR, Success Criterion).
A plan step with no brief basis is scope creep — flag it or remove it.
- **Scope:** Only explore the current working directory. Never read files outside the repo.
- **Cost:** Use Sonnet for all sub-agents. You (the orchestrator) run on Opus.
- **Privacy:** Never log secrets, tokens, or credentials.
