chore(cleanup): R-b R2 — STORM loop, cap hook and the --engine research choice removed

/trekresearch loses Phase 4.5, the bounded Phase 5 loop (Phase 5 keeps its
single pass of at most 2 follow-ups), the --engine flag, the deep-research
adapter and its output self-check. hooks.json loses the pre-agent-cap
PreToolUse entry (README: 9 hooks = 9 scripts). The STORM env vars leave the
docs; query-privacy-gate.mjs stays, called by no command, and says so.

Files removed: 13 (4 docs, 1 hook, 1 lib module, 1 script, 5 tests, 1 fixture).
Files edited: 17. Tests: 2600 (2598 pass / 0 fail / 2 skipped) before,
2467 (2466 pass / 0 fail / 1 skipped, R3 pending) after.
Durable check: group R2 green and no longer pending.

| `--gates [true\|false\|closed\|open]` | (v3.4.0) Autonomy flag: bare, `true` or `closed` = on; `false` or `open` = off; any other next token is not its value. See `## Autonomy mode` in `docs/operations.md`. |
| `--min-brief-version <ver>` | (S18) Warn — never block — if an attached `--project` brief declares a version below `<ver>` (e.g. `2.2`), i.e. sidesteps framing enforcement |
| `--profile <name>` | (v4.1.0) Model profile for the research phase. |
| `--engine {swarm\|deep-research}` | (deep-research-engine) Opt-in external-research engine; `deep-research` delegates the external phase to Claude Code's built-in `/deep-research` workflow, which only works on `2.1.154 <= CC < 2.1.218` — from **2.1.218** `/deep-research` is operator-invoked only (the Skill tool refuses with `disable-model-invocation`), so the engine always falls back to `swarm`. Never hard-fails. Default `swarm`. |
Flags combine: `--project <dir> --local`, `--external --quick`.
### Bounded conversation loop (Phase 4.5 + Phase 5) — env-vars
Dimension discovery and the multi-turn follow-up loop are **default-off** and
have no flag; they are environment-gated, because turning them on costs turns.
They run only at `effort: high` (resolved from the brief's `phase_signals`).
| Env-var | Default | Behavior |
|---------|---------|----------|
| `VOYAGE_STORM_ENABLED` | _(unset — default-off)_ | `=1` grants the Phase 5 loop a non-zero turn budget and is the second condition on Phase 4.5's skip-guard. Unset, `research-loop-cap.mjs` grants 0 turns and **both** phases are inert: doing nothing keeps the whole mechanism off. |
| `TREKRESEARCH_MAX_CONV_TURNS` | `3` | Max turns per under-illuminated dimension. Budget = this × `maxDimensions` (8, `MAX_TOTAL_DIMENSIONS` in `lib/util/research-loop-cap.mjs`). Empty, non-numeric, zero, negative, `Infinity`, or any fraction that floors below `1` (`0.5`, `0.9`) fall back to `3` — never to unbounded, and never to `0`. A fraction at or above `1` floors (`2.7` → `2`). |
| `VOYAGE_DISABLE_CAP_HOOK` | _(unset)_ | `=1` disables `hooks/scripts/pre-agent-cap.mjs`, the `PreToolUse` enforcement of the turn budget. The cap primitive still applies; only the second gate is switched off. |
Adoption of the loop as a default is gated on a pre-registered measurement —
protocol, thresholds, and the exact commands in
[`docs/storm-measurement.md`](storm-measurement.md).
