Inspired by spec-kit's /speckit.clarify and Junie's multiple-choice clarifying questions.

Before dispatch (or before the plan phase in spec mode), the agent identifies underspecified areas of the request and asks structured questions, multiple-choice where possible, instead of guessing. Cheap to build, big quality win. Complements #257 (confidence-gated dispatch): low-confidence tasks get clarification questions, not just a flag.

    Covered: the cross-provider ask_user MCP tool (orchServer.js:1455) lets the agent ask multiple-choice clarifying questions before planning, and spec mode covers the structured version. Closing in the 2026-10-09 board cleanup (#1532).
