fix: wire after_tasks and after_implement hook events into command templates (#1702)

* fix: wire after_tasks and after_implement hook events into command templates (#1701)

The HookExecutor backend in extensions.py was fully implemented but
check_hooks_for_event() was never called by anything — the core command
templates had no instructions to check .specify/extensions.yml.

Add a final step to templates/commands/tasks.md (step 6, after_tasks) and
templates/commands/implement.md (step 10, after_implement) that instructs
the AI agent to:

- Read .specify/extensions.yml if it exists
- Filter hooks.{event} to enabled: true entries
- Evaluate any condition fields and skip non-matching hooks
- Output the RFC-specified hook message format, including
  EXECUTE_COMMAND: markers for mandatory (optional: false) hooks

Bumps version to 0.1.7.

* fix: clarify hook condition handling and add YAML error guidance in templates

- Replace ambiguous "evaluate any condition value" instruction with explicit
  guidance to skip hooks with non-empty conditions, deferring evaluation to
  HookExecutor
- Add instruction to skip hook checking silently if extensions.yml cannot
  be parsed or is invalid

* Fix/extension hooks not triggered (#1)

* feat(templates): implement before-hooks check as pre-execution phase

* test(hooks): create scenario for LLMs/Agents on hooks

# Testing Extension Hooks
This directory contains a mock project to verify that LLM agents correctly identify and execute hook commands defined in `.specify/extensions.yml`.
## Test 1: Testing `before_tasks` and `after_tasks`
1. Open a chat with an LLM (like GitHub Copilot) in this project.
2. Ask it to generate tasks for the current directory:
> "Please follow `/speckit.tasks` for the `./tests/hooks` directory."
3. **Expected Behavior**:
- Before doing any generation, the LLM should notice the `AUTOMATIC Pre-Hook` in `.specify/extensions.yml` under `before_tasks`.
- It should state it is executing `EXECUTE_COMMAND: pre_tasks_test`.
- It should then proceed to read the `.md` docs and produce a `tasks.md`.
- After generation, it should output the optional `after_tasks` hook (`post_tasks_test`) block, asking if you want to run it.
## Test 2: Testing `before_implement` and `after_implement`
*(Requires `tasks.md` from Test 1 to exist)*
1. In the same (or new) chat, ask the LLM to implement the tasks:
> "Please follow `/speckit.implement` for the `./tests/hooks` directory."
2. **Expected Behavior**:
- The LLM should first check for `before_implement` hooks.
- It should state it is executing `EXECUTE_COMMAND: pre_implement_test` BEFORE doing any actual task execution.
- It should evaluate the checklists and execute the code writing tasks.
- Upon completion, it should output the optional `after_implement` hook (`post_implement_test`) block.
## How it works
The templates for these commands in `templates/commands/tasks.md` and `templates/commands/implement.md` contains strict ordered lists. The new `before_*` hooks are explicitly formulated in a **Pre-Execution Checks** section prior to the outline to ensure they're evaluated first without breaking template step numbers.
