refactor: unify UI design workflow target parameters for pages and components

Consolidate separate page/component modes into a unified target system to reduce code duplication and simplify the workflow parameter model. Changes: - Merge --pages and --components into unified --targets parameter - Add --target-type (auto|page|component) with intelligent detection - Remove Phase 0d from explore-auto.md (131 lines of duplicate logic) - Implement detect_target_type() helper for automatic classification - Update generate.md to support adaptive wrapper generation - Full HTML structure for pages - Minimal wrapper for isolated components - Update imitate-auto.md and update.md for parameter consistency - Enhance ui-design-agent.md with adaptive design capabilities - Maintain full backward compatibility with legacy syntax Benefits: - Code reduction: -35% in target inference logic (255 → 165 lines) - Maintenance: Single unified logic path vs dual implementations - Extensibility: Foundation for future mixed-mode support - UX: Simpler parameter model with automatic type detection Technical Details: - explore-auto.md: 605 lines changed (unified Phase 0c) - generate.md: 353 lines changed (targets + adaptive wrapper) - Net change: +685 insertions, -504 deletions across 5 files All existing workflows remain compatible via legacy parameter support. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>

 # UI Generation Command (Matrix Mode)

+**Executor**: → @ui-design-agent
+**Parallel Generation**: Phase 2a → @ui-design-agent (L×T tasks)

 ## Overview
-Generate production-ready UI prototypes (HTML/CSS) in `style × layout` matrix mode, strictly adhering to consolidated design tokens from separate style design systems.
+Generate production-ready UI prototypes (HTML/CSS) in `style × layout` matrix mode, strictly adhering to consolidated design tokens from separate style design systems. Supports both full-page layouts and isolated component generation.

 ## Core Philosophy
- **Matrix-Only**: Single mode generating `style_variants × layout_variants × pages` prototypes
- **Agent-Driven**: Uses `Task(conceptual-planning-agent)` for parallel generation
+- **Unified Generation**: Single mode generating `style_variants × layout_variants × targets` prototypes
+- **Target Types**: Supports pages (full layouts) and components (isolated UI elements)
+- **Agent-Driven**: Uses `Task(ui-design-agent)` for parallel generation
 - **Token-Driven**: All styles reference per-style design-tokens.json; no hardcoded values
 - **Production-Ready**: Semantic HTML5, ARIA attributes, responsive design
 - **Template-Based**: Decouples HTML structure from CSS styling for optimal performance
+- **Adaptive Wrapper**: Full-page structure for pages, minimal wrapper for components
