fix(verify): find spec and design artifacts by output path

[drakeo338]

Closes #2027

What this changes

The verify workflow read contextFiles.specs and contextFiles.design, which only exist when a schema names its artifacts specs and design; with other artifact ids it found nothing to verify against. It now finds them through artifactPaths.<id>.outputPath: spec artifacts are those under specs/, and the design artifact is design.md. The generated skill file is regenerated to match.

How you verified it

The updated template tests failed on the previous source (58 passed, 3 failed) and pass with the change (61 passed, 0 failed). I did not run the full build, tsc or lint.

Notes

Written by Claude Code (Claude Sonnet 5.5); I ran the tests above myself.

• Ran pnpm changeset if this affects users, and committed the file
• If a coding agent wrote this, named the agent and model in the Notes section, and verified the result myself

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes
  • Verification now finds specification and design artifacts using schema output paths, rather than relying on fixed artifact IDs.
  • When specification files are missing or empty, related checks are marked as not verified. Design adherence is marked as not verified when its file is missing or empty, and not applicable when no design artifact is defined.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Verify instructions now locate spec and design artifacts through schema output paths and artifact IDs instead of relying only on fixed context-file keys. The templates update verification status when spec files are absent or empty, and when no design artifact is defined. Tests and the patch changeset are updated.

Verify artifact lookup

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Artifact path detection and verification guidance src/core/templates/workflows/verify-change.ts, skills/openspec-verify-change/SKILL.md, test/core/templates/verify-change.test.ts, test/core/templates/skill-templates-parity.test.ts, .changeset/verify-change-artifact-paths.md	Both templates and the skill guidance identify spec artifacts by output paths under specs/ and design artifacts by ID or output path. They use the matching artifact IDs to read context files. Tests, expected hashes, and the patch changeset are updated.
