feat(work-items): an idea issue gets an interview before exploration #11869

Description

@kyle-sexton

Problem

Triage explores an idea issue (a feature with no stated intent) before anyone has said what it is
for.

Origin: D94, Q522 (intent before exploring, as Matt grills first).

Fix

Triage routes an idea issue to /planning:interview before any exploration or research, and parks
it with needs-spec. How the interview's result is recorded on the item (marker comment or label
pair) is not part of this item.

Done when

  • The triage skill states the idea-issue route and the needs-spec park.
  • An eval case with an idea issue expects the interview route and no exploration; python3 plugins/evals/skills/validate/scripts/validate-cases.py plugins/work-items/evals and bash plugins/skill-quality/scripts/check-skill.sh plugins/work-items/skills exit 0, and bash scripts/check-changelog-fragments.sh passes with a work-items fragment.

    The lanes App's pull request #11893 for this issue was closed without merging. work-unblock removed status: ready and agent-ready, so the hourly triage sweep sends it back to intake triage, which decides what work is left and admits it again.
