fix(templates): use store-aware root for main specs in sync/archive

[clay-good]

Status: Ready. Closes #1358.

What was wrong
OpenSpec 1.5.0 added --store <id> to target a registered store, but two workflow instructions still assumed the main specs always live in the current repository:

• sync-specs read and created openspec/specs/<capability>/spec.md
• archive-change compared delta specs against that same hardcoded path before offering to sync

With a store selected, the change and its main specs belong to the store, while the repo may also have its own openspec/. So a sync could update the repo's specs instead of the store's, the store could stay out of date, and archive could report "already synced" based on the wrong location.

How it was fixed
The CLI already returns a store-aware planningHome.root in openspec status --json. The instructions now derive every main-spec path from it:

<planningHome.root>/openspec/specs/<capability>/spec.md

• sync-specs: both the main-spec read path and the new-main-spec creation path derive from planningHome.root (added a note in the "Resolve change context" step so the agent uses it).
• archive-change: the sync-assessment comparison uses that same derived path.
• Dropped the "repo-local" label on CLI-returned delta paths, since they may belong to a selected store.

Repo-local behavior (no store) is unchanged: planningHome.root is the repo root there.

Proof it works
Generated-content and function-payload golden hashes in test/core/templates/skill-templates-parity.test.ts were regenerated and pass, confirming the intended (and only the intended) instruction text changed. Full suite green except the 17 pre-existing environment-only zsh-installer failures (oh-my-zsh), which are unrelated.

✓ test/core/templates/skill-templates-parity.test.ts (6 tests)
✓ test/vocabulary-sweep.test.ts (2 tests)
Tests  1858 passed | 17 failed (zsh-installer, env-only)

Notes
Scope is the source workflow templates only. The committed skills/ distribution (PR #1357) isn't on main yet; when it lands, npm run generate:skills will pick up this text automatically.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Updated generated sync and archive workflow instructions to resolve main-spec paths through planningHome.root, including store-scoped delta handling and new-spec creation. Updated parity test hashes for the affected templates and generated skills.

Changes

Store-aware workflow paths

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Sync and archive path guidance src/core/templates/workflows/sync-specs.ts, src/core/templates/workflows/archive-change.ts, test/core/templates/skill-templates-parity.test.ts	Sync and archive templates now use <planningHome.root>/openspec/specs/<capability>/spec.md for main-spec reads, comparisons, and creation; parity hashes were updated accordingly.

The templates consistently derive main-spec paths from planningHome.root for both sync and archive while leaving repo-local behavior unchanged. Parity checks and full CI are green.
