Release 1.3.4: Documentation Refinements, Agent Updates, and Retry Enhancement (#1160)

* feat(orchestrator): add Discuss Phase and PRD creation workflow

- Introduce Discuss Phase for medium/complex objectives, generating context‑aware options and logging architectural decisions
- Add PRD creation step after discussion, storing the PRD in docs/prd.yaml
- Refactor Phase 1 to pass task clarifications to researchers
- Update Phase 2 planning to include multi‑plan selection for complex tasks and verification with gem‑reviewer
- Enhance Phase 3 execution loop with wave integration checks and conflict filtering

* feat(gem-team): bump version to 1.3.3 and refine description with Discuss Phase and PRD compliance verification

* chore(release): bump marketplace version to 1.3.4

- Update `marketplace.json` version from `1.3.3` to `1.3.4`.
- Refine `gem-browser-tester.agent.md`:
  - Replace "UUIDs" typo with correct spelling.
  - Adjust wording and formatting for clarity.
  - Update JSON code fences to use ````jsonc````.
  - Modify workflow description to reference `AGENTS.md` when present.
- Refine `gem-devops.agent.md`:
  - Align expertise list formatting.
  - Standardize tool list syntax with back‑ticks.
  - Minor wording improvements.
- Increase retry attempts in `gem-browser-tester.agent.md` from 2 to 3 attempts.
- Minor typographical and formatting corrections across agent documentation.

* refactor: rename prd_path to project_prd_path in agent configurations

- Updated gem-orchestrator.agent.md to use `project_prd_path` instead of `prd_path` in task definitions and delegation logic.
- Updated gem-planner.agent.md to reference `project_prd_path` and clarify PRD reading.
- Updated gem-researcher.agent.md to use `project_prd_path` and adjust PRD consumption logic.
- Applied minor wording improvements and consistency fixes across the orchestrator, planner, and researcher documentation.
