<objective>
Start a project properly: question deeply until the idea is concrete, then
write PROJECT.md and REQUIREMENTS.md, derive a phased ROADMAP.md with
falsifiable per-phase success criteria, and initialize .planning/ (config
copied from the engine template, STATE.md cursor). Research is off by
default; `--research` or config `workflow.research` enables a single
research pass. `--brief <file>` reads a design brief an earlier conversation
produced and questions only what it leaves open.
