fix: Clarify auto-continue workflow execution model in plan command

- Replace sequential execution model with explicit auto-continue pattern
- Document that each phase returns to user before auto-continuing
- Use TodoList state for progress tracking (no external state files)
- Store parsed data (sessionId, contextPath) in memory between phases
- Clarify error handling keeps phase in_progress without proceeding

-1. Initialize TodoWrite → Execute Phase 1 → Parse output → Update TodoWrite

-2. Execute Phase 2 with Phase 1 data → Parse output → Update TodoWrite
+Each phase executes and returns to user, then **automatically continues** to next phase:

+**Auto-Continue Mechanism**:
+- Read TodoList to determine current phase status
+- Execute next pending phase based on TodoList state
+- No external state files needed - TodoList tracks progress

 ## Coordinator Checklist
 
 ✅ **Pre-Phase**: Convert user input to structured format (GOAL/SCOPE/CONTEXT)
 ✅ Initialize TodoWrite before any command
 ✅ Execute Phase 1 immediately with structured description
-✅ Parse session ID from Phase 1 output
+✅ Parse session ID from Phase 1 output, store in memory
 ✅ Pass session ID and structured description to Phase 2 command
-✅ Parse context path from Phase 2 output
+✅ Parse context path from Phase 2 output, store in memory
 ✅ Pass session ID and context path to Phase 3 command
 ✅ Verify ANALYSIS_RESULTS.md after Phase 3
 ✅ Select correct Phase 4 command based on --agent flag
 ✅ Pass session ID to Phase 4 command
 ✅ Verify all Phase 4 outputs
 ✅ Update TodoWrite after each phase
-✅ Return summary only after Phase 4 completes
+✅ After each phase, automatically continue to next phase based on TodoList status
