Subject: [PATCH] Add gh-implement workflow for GitHub issue implementation
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Introduces a two-stage workflow (plan → implement) that fetches a GitHub
issue via `gh issue view`, writes an implementation plan, then delegates
to the existing implement workflow. Also removes the unnecessary
`backend: api` directive from the implement workflow's model stylesheet.
