chore: remove SM agent (Bob) and migrate to Developer agent (#2186)

* chore: remove SM agent (Bob) and migrate capabilities to Developer agent

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(docs): correct agent naming and grammar from review triage

Standardize Developer agent references to bmad-agent-dev (matching
installed skill directory name) and fix possessive apostrophe in
implementation-readiness workflow.

* fix(skills): replace dev team references with Developer agent

No longer a multi-agent development team — just one Developer agent.
Remove residual Scrum Master search patterns from retrospective.
