Aidlc Approval Handoff

Run the AI-DLC `approval-handoff` stage (ideation phase) in isolation, without advancing the main workflow. Packages `/aidlc --stage approval-handoff --single`: the engine emits one run-stage directive for approval-handoff and its gate, the conductor runs it, then the single-stage run commits a synthetic-id pair and stops. The main workflow's Current Stage is never touched.

AI-DLC Stage Runner — approval-handoff

Run the approval-handoff stage on its own. This is opt-in packaging over /aidlc --stage approval-handoff --single; the same stage is always reachable via that flag without this skill.

Steps

Ask the engine for the single-stage directive:
```
bun .kiro/tools/aidlc-orchestrate.ts next --stage approval-handoff --single
```
The engine emits one run-stage directive for approval-handoff (carrying the lead agent, the resolved consumes/produces paths, the rules and sensors in context, and — on this first directive — the conductor persona). Run the stage exactly as the directive describes; do not load the conductor persona by hand, the engine delivers it.
When the stage's work is done, commit the single-stage record:
```
bun .kiro/tools/aidlc-orchestrate.ts report --single --stage approval-handoff --result completed
```
This records a STAGE_STARTED / STAGE_COMPLETED pair under a synthetic workflow id and stops. It NEVER writes the main workflow's Current Stage — a single-stage run is isolated by design (the tool refuses to advance the main workflow).
