Harness spec 1.1.0: one plan, prototypes and the library shared; the CLI implements it

The spec: plan_write and plan_update (new, shared, offered in every mode) and
plan_submit (now shared) keep one structured plan — findings, objectives,
phases of tasks — in place of the todo list, which lives on as a former name
of plan_write. The shared system text is one text for both projects, with
variables for what differs; the mode texts, a prototypes block and a library
block are shared. acp.md: the client hands the device what only it knows
(context, library, prototypes), the plan travels as a structure (plan_state),
library calls carry the chat's scope, and a client may rewind a session.
loop.json says its numbers as numbers. Four conformance areas: plan,
prototype, library_scope, toolcall_index.

The CLI: the plan is kept per session in the store and drawn above the prompt
and on the approval card; the prompt is assembled from the spec's texts with
their variables filled; the link reads the instance's instructions,
personalization, knowledge scope and prototype offer, sends the plan as a
structure and answers rewind; library calls to the instance carry the session
as scope; a prototype written in the terminal is saved as a file and named in
the transcript; a tool-call fragment without an index continues the last call;
the default theme is Moria; dead exports and Hermes leftovers removed.

- **Scopes:** `shared` — both projects implement it; `cli` or `llembas` — only that one. The same
two names key what is per project elsewhere: a tool's `aliases`, `loop.json`'s budgets, a
protected path's `scope`.
- A tool's other names, per project, are listed in its `aliases` and work as the tool.
- A tool's other names, per project, are listed in its `aliases` and work as the tool. A former
name may have taken different arguments; the project converts them. The one such case:
**`todo` → `plan_write`**, `todos[]` becoming one phase called "Work" (`pending` → `todo`,
`in_progress` → `doing`, `completed` → `done`, `cancelled` → `dropped`; `conformance/plan.json`).
- **The plan** (`plan_write`, `plan_update`, `plan_submit`) is one structure both keep per session —
title, summary, findings, objectives, phases of tasks with a status each, ids given by the
implementation and never by the model — shown as a card in every UI and put into the prompt
(`{{plan_context}}`) on every step while it exists. `plan_write` and `plan_update` are offered in
every mode; `plan_submit` only in plan mode, where it is the approval. Their permission key is
`plan` (`permission/defaults.json`), which a rule written for the former `todo` key still reaches.
## 1.1.0
Planning as one shared structure: `plan_write` and `plan_update` (new, shared, in every mode) and
`plan_submit` now shared; `todo` folded into `plan_write` as a former name. The shared system text
(`system/default.md`) is now one text for both projects, with variables for what differs;
`modes/*.md` shared; `blocks/prototypes.md` and `blocks/library.md` new and shared. `acp.md`: the
client hands the device what only it knows (`context`, `library`, `prototypes`), the plan travels
as a structure (`plan_state`), the device scopes library calls to the chat (`_meta.lembas.scope`),
and a client may rewind a session (`rewind`). `loop.json` says its numbers as numbers. Four
conformance areas: `plan`, `prototype`, `library_scope`, `toolcall_index`.

## Variables in a description
## Variables in a description, and in a prompt text
A description may hold `{{name}}` where the two projects differ in a fact, not in design — a
timeout's default, whether commands may run in the background, which subagents exist. The tool's
`variables` says what each one means; each project fills them before sending the description, and
none may reach a model unfilled.
A prompt text may hold them too, declared in `prompts/index.json` under its entry. The same rule,
and one more: **a line that is nothing but a bullet and a variable (`- {{name}}`) disappears when the
variable is empty**, so one text serves a project that has the fact and one that does not.
## Changing it
1. Change the spec first, and bump `VERSION`: **patch** for a text or a new conformance case,
**minor** for a new tool, rule or field, **major** for a rename or a removed tool.
**minor** for a new tool, rule or field, **major** for a rename or a removed tool. A tool folded
into another, its name kept as an alias that still runs, is minor: nothing stored or trained
breaks.
2. A fix comes with a **conformance case** that fails without it. In LLeMbas CLI,
`bun run harness record` fills in the expected result of a new case from the implementation,
and `bun run harness record --all` shows every case whose result would change.
