Quratulain-bilal 0ef53eb91f fix(scripts): send check-prerequisites.ps1 errors to stderr (#3123)
* fix(scripts): send check-prerequisites.ps1 errors to stderr

The validation errors and run-hints in check-prerequisites.ps1 were
written with Write-Output, so they went to stdout. This script is
usually run with -Json and its stdout parsed by the agent, so an error
(e.g. missing plan.md) leaves the parser with an error string instead
of JSON. The bash counterpart already writes these to stderr (>&2), as
do the sibling PowerShell scripts (setup-tasks.ps1, common.ps1's
Get-FeaturePathsEnv). Switch the six error/hint lines to
[Console]::Error.WriteLine so stdout stays clean and the two shells
match.

* test(scripts): assert check-prerequisites errors stay on stderr

Per the #3122 bug assessment, tighten the failure-path tests so they
verify stdout stays clean (empty / valid JSON) and the error text only
appears on stderr, instead of checking the combined stdout+stderr
string. Covers all three PowerShell validation paths (missing feature
dir, missing plan.md, missing tasks.md with -RequireTasks) and the bash
counterpart. The two new error-routing tests fail on the pre-fix
script (errors on stdout) and pass after it.
