Add implementation planning with PR-sized work, dependencies, sizing, and rollout metadata #1651
Description
Parent epic: #1648
Outcome
Add /squad plan implementation to turn an accepted program plan into executable leaf work.
Each leaf includes outcome, scope/non-scope, parent, affected components, real dependencies, acceptance criteria/tests, migration impact, rollout/rollback guidance, evidence requirements, relative size, uncertainty, and expected PR boundary.
Prefer a GitHub Project size field when configured. Otherwise embed structured Size: XS–XL metadata; do not create size labels automatically.
Acceptance criteria
-
XLleaves are rejected or explicitly waived. - Dependencies use native GitHub relationships when available.
- Parallel work and sequencing are explicit.
- Cross-cutting work is decomposed rather than emitted as omnibus issues.
- The first ready execution wave is unambiguous.

E2E evidence: native dependencies unused and sizing fallback creates labels

Prerequisites
No Project V2 is configured. GitHub native issue dependency fields/APIs are available (
blockedBy,blocking, and issue dependency summaries all query successfully).Reproduction
Activate the accepted 18-task implementation plan from https://github.com/bradygaster/squad-planning-e2e/issues/2.

GitHub cannot enforce or visualize execution blocking natively, dependency-aware automation cannot consume real edges, and the no-Project sizing fallback pollutes repository labels instead of using the documented structured representation.
