feat(P03): external/cascade tests + --ideate flag on run — IDEATE-07,08,15

---ci---
phase: 3
milestone: v0.10
status: execute
decisions:
  - id: D-084
    decision: Dual integration: standalone ciagent ideate + --ideate flag on run
    confidence: 0.90
requirements:
  covered:
    - IDEATE-07
    - IDEATE-08
    - IDEATE-15
---/ci---

- IDEATE-07: External signal collection (npm audit, dependency staleness) tested
- IDEATE-08: Cascade impact analysis (--affected) tested
- IDEATE-15: --ideate flag on ciagent run inserts IDEATE stage between RESEARCH and PLAN
- Tests for runAffected, runExternal, runCrossProject
- 541 tests passing
