feat(P05): flesh 4 agents with intrinsic mechanical logic

---ci---
project: ci
phase: 5
milestone: v0.8
status: complete
decisions:
  - id: D-033
    decision: Flesh SecurityAuditorAgent with STRIDE-aware mechanical scanning
    rationale: Runs L3 security patterns intrinsically; no backend required
    confidence: 0.90
  - id: D-034
    decision: Flesh DocWriterAgent with template-based doc update
    rationale: Updates ROADMAP.md phase status, REQUIREMENTS.md req status, reads git log for new decisions
    confidence: 0.85
  - id: D-035
    decision: Flesh DebuggerAgent with stack trace parsing + git bisect
    rationale: Parses stack traces to find file:line, bisects to find introducing commit
    confidence: 0.80
  - id: D-036
    decision: Flesh ChallengerAgent with plan DAG/wave/must-have/REQ validation
    rationale: Validates plan structure mechanically; catches circular deps and gaps
    confidence: 0.82
requirements:
  covered: [AGENT-01, AGENT-02, AGENT-03, AGENT-04]
---/ci---

AGENT-01: SecurityAuditorAgent.mechanicalAudit() runs STRIDE+ CWE pattern
scan intrinsically. Each finding has stride_category, cwe, severity, and
disposition (accept/mitigate/flag based on confidence threshold).

AGENT-02: DocWriterAgent.mechanicalDocUpdate() reads plan data, updates
.ciagent/ROADMAP.md phase status to complete, .ciagent/REQUIREMENTS.md
pending→covered, and reads git log for new decision entries.

AGENT-03: DebuggerAgent.mechanicalDebug() parses stack traces (4 regex
patterns for different formats), identifies root file:line, runs
git bisect to find introducing commit, suggests git revert.

AGENT-04: ChallengerAgent.mechanicalChallenge() validates plan structure:
circular dependency detection via DFS, wave ordering validation,
must-haves presence check, and requirement coverage check.
