bb5a2c5424 docs(concepts): document the spec-of-specs feature breakdown approach (#3648)
* docs(concepts): document the spec-of-specs feature breakdown approach (#3423)

Add a dedicated "Spec of Specs" concept page describing how to decompose a
large feature into a roadmap of smaller, independently-specified sub-features
using the existing Spec Kit flow. Covers the roadmap pass, the roadmap
artifact template, specifying each sub-feature, bidirectional sub-spec/roadmap
linking, keeping them in sync, a worked example, and optional automation.

Link the new page from the "Handling Complex Features" decomposition section
and add it to the docs table of contents.

Closes #3423

860a49edb1 docs: add guide for handling complex features (#3004)
* docs: add guide for handling complex features

Add a Concepts page documenting strategies for dealing with large or
complex features where context window exhaustion degrades agent
performance during implementation. Covers limiting tasks per run,
sub-agent delegation, combining both, and decomposing into smaller
specs, with a guideline table for choosing an approach.

Closes #2986

* docs: address review feedback on complex features guide

Use task IDs (T001-T010) instead of bare numbers to match the tasks.md
template format, and add the combined scoping + delegation approach to
the selection table for completeness.

* docs: align complex features guide with command naming conventions

Use the full /speckit.implement command name throughout, match the
command template wording ('must consider'), and use the product names
GitHub Copilot CLI and the GitHub Copilot extension for VS Code.
