The test_plan field was a gate from the old interactive web UI workflow
where a human would approve a test plan before the LLM could write code.
With autonomous coder agents, this gate is dead weight — coders sometimes
obey the README's "wait for approval" instruction and produce no code.
Removes: TestPlanStatus enum, ensure_test_plan_approved checks in fs/shell,
set_test_plan MCP tool + handler, test_plan from story/bug front matter
creation, test_plan validation in validate_story_dirs, and all related tests.
Updates README to remove Step 2 (Test Planning) and renumber steps.
