feat(rules): add software development ruleset and enhance research diagnostic

- Create software_development.mdc with evidence-first development principles
- Add code path tracing requirements to research_diagnostic.mdc
- Update base_context.mdc to reference new specialized rulesets
- Create ADR and investigation report templates
- Improve markdown formatting across all ruleset files

Enhances development workflow with specialized guidance for:
- Code review standards and evidence validation
- Problem-solution validation and complexity assessment
- Integration between generic and technical rulesets
