Alisa Novikova 616062bdf6 feat(core): implement self-validation workflow with exact verbatim restoration
This commit upgrades the agent with a robust self-validation workflow while
ensuring 100% verbatim coverage of the original system prompt text.
By moving to an additive model, we preserve all original reasoning anchors,
instructional lead-ins, and senior engineering heuristics while injecting
critical autonomous mandates.

Verbatim Restoration:
- All 'Context Efficiency' guidelines, lead-ins, and scenarios (Search/Understand/Navigate).
- All 'Engineering Standards' regarding style mimicry, abstractions, and debt isolation.
- Full 'Primary Workflows' sequence and formatting.

Self-Validation Workflow Injections:
- Research Phase: Parallel Discovery (manifests + logic) and High-Signal Grep.
- Bug Fixing: Negative Verification (confirming repro failure) and Coverage Expansion.
- Implementation: Transactional Edits (logical batching of module changes).
- Validation Loop: Tiered Validation (Fixers -> Fast-Path -> Related Tests) and Smart Log Navigation (Tail-First).

Technical Verification:
- Verified against 67 core prompt tests and 14 snapshots.
- New behavioral eval suite passed (evals/self_validation_workflow.eval.ts).
- Full 'npm run preflight' successful.
