Subject: [PATCH] fix(write-tests): use reference_branches for source repo; fix
 spec path

AR-27b filters clone pre_actions when agent-repo is active, so the source
repo was never cloned and the spec was unreachable. Use reference_branches
instead: the source repo is cloned read-only to /workspace/reference/main/
by agent-repo/v1/init.sh.

Both write_tests and review_coverage nodes now declare:
  reference_branches:
    - repo_url: "{{ repo_url }}"
      branch: main
      name: main

Prompts updated to read from /workspace/reference/main/{{ spec_file }}
and write output to /workspace/project/{{ test_output_dir }}.
