Auto e8f3b99a42 feat: Add robust fallback mechanisms for spec creation chat
Add multiple escape hatches to prevent users from getting stuck during
spec creation when the WebSocket completion signal fails.

Changes:
- Add "Exit to Project" button always visible in chat header
- Add /exit command detection to immediately exit to project
- Add backend GET /api/spec/status/{project} endpoint to poll status file
- Add getSpecStatus() API function in frontend
- Add status file polling (every 3s) in useSpecChat hook
- Update create-spec.md with status file write instructions

How it works:
1. Happy path: Claude writes .spec_status.json as final step, UI polls
   and detects completion, shows "Continue to Project" button
2. Escape hatch: User can always click "Exit to Project" or type /exit
   to instantly select the project and close modal, then manually start
   the agent from the main UI

This ensures users always have a way forward even if the WebSocket
completion detection fails due to tool call tracking issues.
