Validate SM Flow Explicit Trigger Brief

Background

sm-flow was simplified so it should only run on explicit user invocation. Related cleanup centralized scale rules, removed time-based metrics, and separated fallback/glossary details into references.

Goal

Validate the current sm-flow design by running a real micro OpenSpec change through Discover, Commit, Apply, and Archive.

Scope

• Validate .agents/skills/sm-flow/SKILL.md.
• Validate .agents/skills/sm-flow/references/*.md.
• Fix any protocol inconsistency found during validation.
• Record fallback capability source because external OpenSpec commands are unavailable in the current tool surface.

Non-Goals

• No business code changes.
• No changes to the four visible checkpoints or nine internal phases.
• No automatic trigger heuristics.
• No historical archive rewrites.

Scale

• Scale: micro.
• Evidence is folded into decisions.md.
• Linked OpenSpec change: openspec/changes/validate-sm-flow-explicit-trigger/.
