Add /awos:compact command for spec compaction

[Copilot]

Teams accumulate verbose specification files over time. Without compaction, project directories become cluttered with implementation details that distract from milestone transitions.

Changes

• New command: /awos:compact compacts specs into summaries (~30-50% size reduction)

  • Creates functional-spec-compact.md - preserves rationale, core requirements, acceptance criteria
  • Creates technical-considerations-compact.md - preserves architectural decisions, key approaches, risks
  • Creates completed-summary.md - single-page feature overview with completion date

• Smart validation: Detects already-compacted specs, warns on incomplete tasks (- [ ] pattern)

• Optional archiving: Moves original detailed files to context/archive/ to declutter active specs

• Scope control: Process single spec by name/index or batch all specs in context/spec/

Usage

# Compact all specs
/awos:compact

# Compact specific spec
/awos:compact 001-user-authentication

The command follows existing patterns (ROLE/TASK/PROCESS structure) and integrates automatically via wildcard file copying in setup config.

<issue_title>Add "compact" command for specs</issue_title>
<issue_description>awos produces a large number of spec files over time. To keep projects manageable, teams should be able to compact these specs after each milestone.

We need a awos:compact command that takes all the detailed specs and produces a concise summary version, removing distracting details while keeping the important information. This will prevent the project from turning into a mess of markdown files and make it easier to move from milestone to milestone.</issue_description>
