* docs(presets): add lean preset README and enrich catalog metadata

- Add README.md documenting the lean workflow preset, its commands,
  when to use it, and development instructions.
- Add license, requires.speckit_version, and provides.commands fields
  to the lean preset catalog entry.
- Add "core" tag to preset.yml for discoverability.

* fix: bump catalog updated_at and add provides.templates for consistency

Lean Workflow

A minimal preset that strips the Spec Kit workflow down to its essentials — just the prompt, just the artifact.

When to Use

Use Lean when you want the structured specify → plan → tasks → implement pipeline without the ceremony of the full templates. Each command produces a single focused Markdown file with no boilerplate sections to fill in.

Commands Included

Command Output Description
speckit.specify spec.md Create a specification from a feature description
speckit.plan plan.md Create an implementation plan from the spec
speckit.tasks tasks.md Create dependency-ordered tasks from spec and plan
speckit.implement (code) Execute all tasks in order, marking progress
speckit.constitution constitution.md Create or update the project constitution

What It Replaces

Lean overrides the five core workflow commands with self-contained prompts that produce each artifact directly — no separate template files involved. The result is a shorter, more direct workflow.

Installation

# Lean is a bundled preset — no download needed
specify preset add lean

Development

# Test from local directory
specify preset add --dev ./presets/lean

# Verify commands resolve
specify preset resolve speckit.specify

# Remove when done
specify preset remove lean
