fix: restore detailed planning prompts and fix test suite

This commit fixes two issues introduced during prompt customization:

1. **Restored Full Planning Prompts from Main**
   - Lite Mode: Added "Silently analyze the codebase first" instruction
   - Spec Mode: Restored detailed task format rules, [TASK_START]/[TASK_COMPLETE] markers
   - Full Mode: Restored comprehensive SDD format with [PHASE_COMPLETE] markers
   - Fixed table structures (Files to Modify, Technical Context, Risks & Mitigations)
   - Ensured all critical instructions for Auto Mode functionality are preserved

2. **Fixed Test Suite (774 tests passing)**
   - Made getPlanningPromptPrefix() async-aware in all 11 planning tests
   - Replaced console.log/error mocks with createLogger mocks (settings-helpers, agent-service)
   - Updated test expectations to match restored prompts
   - Fixed variable hoisting issue in agent-service mock setup
   - Built prompts library to apply changes

The planning prompts now match the detailed, production-ready versions from main
branch, ensuring Auto Mode has all necessary instructions for proper task execution.
