fix: --project-dir flag + evidence prose validation (5-round audit fixes)

Fix 1: Global --project-dir (-C) flag
  flowctl -C /path/to/project <command>
  Changes CWD before any command runs. Fixes the #1 recurring issue
  across 5 audit rounds: CWD drift after cd to subdirectories causes
  "task not found" / "epic not found" errors.

Fix 2: Evidence must contain prose, not just Q:N scores
  Old: --evidence "Q1:3 Q2:2 Q3:3..." (50 chars, easily fabricated)
  New: minimum 200 chars + must reference questions
  Rejects: "Q1:3 Q2:2..." → "too short (50 chars, minimum 200)"
  Accepts: "Q1(Right problem):3 evidence from code..." → 438 chars OK

This addresses the fn-8 audit finding where --score 24 was provided
with fabricated Q:N entries. AI must now include actual reasoning.

370 tests pass.
