refactor(auto-mode): Enhance revision prompt customization and task format validation

- Updated the revision prompt generation to utilize a customizable template, allowing for dynamic insertion of plan version, previous plan content, user feedback, and task format examples.
- Added validation to ensure the presence of a tasks block in the revised specification, with clear instructions on the required format to prevent execution issues.
- Introduced logging for scenarios where no tasks are found in the revised plan, warning about potential fallback to single-agent execution.
