simplify - Quality Gate Stage

Invariants

• Review only the task scope and changed files.
• Do not add new product scope.
• Block major deviations before testing.
• Write durable findings to the task document.
• If the task doc has an Implementation Notes section but TASKS.md still shows the row in Planned or In Progress, reconcile the row to Testing before continuing — implement ran but missed its tracker update. If Implementation Notes is absent, do not reconcile; implement genuinely did not run and the user should be told.

Runtime adapters may expose this stage as a slash command, menu action, or natural-language skill invocation. The portable stage name is simplify.
