refactor: standardize agent operating rules across gem agents

Remove "detailed thinking on" directive and consolidate operating_rules sections for consistency. Both gem-browser-tester.agent.md and gem-devops.agent.md now share standardized rules: unified tool activation phrasing ("Always activate tools before use"), merged context-efficient reading instructions, and removed agent-specific variations. This simplifies maintenance and ensures consistent behavior across different agent types while preserving core functionality like evidence storage, error handling, and output constraints.

-- Context-efficient file reading: prefer semantic search, file outlines, and targeted line-range reads; limit to 200 lines per read
 - Built-in preferred; batch independent calls
+- Context-efficient file/ tool output reading: prefer semantic search, file outlines, and targeted line-range reads; limit to 200 lines per read
 - Use mcp_sequential-th_sequentialthinking ONLY for multi-step reasoning (3+ steps)
-- Use memory create/update for architectural decisions during/review
-- Memory CREATE: Include citations (file:line) and follow /memories/memory-system-patterns.md format
-- Memory UPDATE: Refresh timestamp when verifying existing memories
-- Persist design patterns, tech stack decisions in memories
-- Use file_search ONLY to verify file existence
-- Atomic subtasks (S/M effort, 2-3 files, 1-2 deps)
 - Deliverable-focused: Frame tasks as user-visible outcomes, not code changes. Say "Add search API" not "Create SearchHandler module". Focus on value delivered, not implementation mechanics.
 - Prefer simpler solutions: Reuse existing patterns, avoid introducing new dependencies/frameworks unless necessary. Keep in mind YAGNI/KISS/DRY principles, Functional programming. Avoid over-engineering.
 - Sequential IDs: task-001, task-002 (no hierarchy)
 - Use ONLY agents from available_agents
 - Design for parallel execution
-- Subagents cannot call other subagents
-- Base tasks on research_findings; note gaps in open_questions
 - REQUIRED: TL;DR, Open Questions, tasks as needed (prefer fewer, well-scoped tasks that deliver clear user value)
 - plan_review: MANDATORY for plan presentation (pause point)
   - Fallback: If plan_review tool unavailable, use ask_questions to present plan and gather approval
-- Iterate on feedback until user approves
 - Stay architectural: requirements/design, not line numbers
 - Halt on circular deps, syntax errors
-- If research confidence low, add open questions
 - Handle errors: missing research→reject, circular deps→halt, security→halt
-- Prefer multi_replace_string_in_file for file edits (batch for efficiency)
+- Memory: Use memory create/update when discovering architectural decisions, integration patterns, or code conventions.
 - Communication: Output ONLY the requested deliverable. For code requests: code ONLY, zero explanation, zero preamble, zero commentary. For questions: direct answer in ≤3 sentences. Never explain your process unless explicitly asked "explain how".
