Add canonical template for the squad watch --execute escape hatch, wire it into init and upgrade, and add focused tests proving install/idempotency/ non-overwrite behavior. Changes: - .squad-templates/ralph-instructions.md: canonical source with contract docs, trust implications, and placeholder guidance - packages/squad-cli/templates/, packages/squad-sdk/templates/, templates/: synced copies via sync-templates.mjs - packages/squad-cli/src/cli/core/templates.ts: TEMPLATE_MANIFEST entry (overwriteOnUpgrade: false, destination matches execute.ts existsSync path) - packages/squad-cli/src/cli/core/upgrade.ts: ensureUserOwnedTemplates() — iterates TEMPLATE_MANIFEST user-owned entries, installs any missing; called from runEnsureChecks (upgrade and already-current paths) - packages/squad-cli/src/cli/core/init.ts: calls ensureUserOwnedTemplates after sdkInitSquad so ralph-instructions.md is installed on fresh init - test/cli/init-upgrade-parity.test.ts: 3 tests (install on init, preserve on upgrade, install-if-missing on upgrade) - test/cli/watch-capabilities.test.ts: 1 test asserting existsSync uses the correct .squad/ralph-instructions.md path from teamRoot - .changeset/feat-1314-ralph-instructions-template.md: patch changeset Closes #1314 Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>

Pull request overview
This PR promotes the previously-undocumented .squad/ralph-instructions.md escape hatch used by squad watch --execute into a shipped, user-customizable template that is installed during init/upgrade without overwriting local modifications.
Changes:
- Add a canonical
ralph-instructions.mdtemplate (synced across.squad-templates/,templates/, CLI templates, and SDK templates). - Register the template as a user-owned
TEMPLATE_MANIFESTentry and ensure init/upgrade install it only when missing. - Add regression tests covering init/upgrade parity and the
execute.tslookup path behavior, plus a changeset for the CLI package.
