Fix code-modernization plugin: align README with commands, fix pipeline gaps
- modernize-brief: read TOPOLOGY.html (what modernize-map actually
  produces) instead of nonexistent TOPOLOGY.md, and tell the user which
  command produces each missing input.
- README: rewrite the Commands section to match actual command behavior —
  correct output filenames, ordering (brief is the synthesis/approval gate
  after discovery, not the first step), agent attributions, and required
  args. Add a workspace-layout note and an explicit callout that
  modernize-harden edits legacy/, which conflicts with the recommended
  deny rule. Reconcile the Overview and Typical Workflow sequences.
- modernize-assess: generalize the production-runtime overlay step so it
  no longer assumes a specific MCP server/tool; mark it optional. Fix
  app/jcl/ -> legacy/$1/jcl/ for layout consistency.
- modernize-map: make TOPOLOGY.html self-contained (load Mermaid from a
  CDN) so it renders in any browser; drop assumptions about an external
  artifact renderer. Generalize the telemetry annotation note.
- business-rules-extractor agent: fix command cross-reference to the
  actual command name.
- plugin.json: include the brief step in the workflow description.

description argument-hint
Generate a phased Modernization Brief — the approved plan that transformation agents will execute against <system-dir> [target-stack]

Synthesize everything in analysis/$1/ into a Modernization Brief — the single document a steering committee approves and engineering executes.

Target stack: $2 (if blank, recommend one based on the assessment findings).

Read analysis/$1/ASSESSMENT.md, analysis/$1/TOPOLOGY.html (and the .mmd files alongside it), and analysis/$1/BUSINESS_RULES.md first. If any are missing, say so and stop — they come from /modernize-assess, /modernize-map, and /modernize-extract-rules respectively. Run those first.

The Brief

Write analysis/$1/MODERNIZATION_BRIEF.md:

1. Objective

One paragraph: from what, to what, why now.

2. Target Architecture

Mermaid C4 Container diagram of the end state. Name every service, data store, and integration. Below it, a table mapping legacy component → target component(s).

3. Phased Sequence

Break the work into 3-6 phases using strangler-fig ordering — lowest-risk, fewest-dependencies first. For each phase:

  • Scope (which legacy modules, which target services)
  • Entry criteria (what must be true to start)
  • Exit criteria (what tests/metrics prove it's done)
  • Estimated effort (person-weeks, derived from COCOMO + complexity data)
  • Risk level + top 2 risks + mitigation

Render the phases as a Mermaid gantt chart.

4. Behavior Contract

List the P0 behaviors from BUSINESS_RULES.md that MUST be proven equivalent before any phase ships. These become the regression suite.

5. Validation Strategy

State which combination applies: characterization tests, contract tests, parallel-run / dual-execution diff, property-based tests, manual UAT. Justify per phase.

6. Open Questions

Anything requiring human/SME decision before Phase 1 starts. Each as a checkbox the approver must tick.

7. Approval Block

Approved by: ________________  Date: __________
Approval covers: Phase 1 only | Full plan

Present

Enter plan mode and present a summary of the brief. Do NOT proceed to any transformation until the user explicitly approves. This gate is the human-in-the-loop control point.
