Quality optimize Dream Weaver agent (Oneira) — fix 11 HIGH issues, add unit tests

Fixes:
- Activation flow: autonomous check now runs before config load (HIGH-001)
- Manifest: added type field to all capabilities for menu generation (HIGH-002)
- Added completion/progression conditions to 6 prompts (HIGH-003–008)
- Parallelized activation file loads and autonomous wake operations (HIGH-009/010)
- Created scripts/tests/ with 34 passing unit tests for all 3 Python scripts (HIGH-011)

Enhancements:
- Config headers added to all 8 user-facing prompts
- Script fallback instructions for graceful degradation
- Morning fast-lane capture mode, milestone celebrations, distress protocol
- Unified persona statement, scope boundary principle, session close ritual
- Various parallelization and execution efficiency improvements

Also includes pre-existing changes to bmad-excalidraw samples, workflow-builder
scanner, .gitignore update, and pycache cleanup.
