fix: prevent implementation during explore mode (Fission-AI#515)
Add explicit instructions to both the explore skill and slash command:
- Add IMPORTANT notice clarifying explore is for thinking, not implementing
- Add "Open threads, not interrogations" stance for user-driven exploration
- Add "Don't implement" guardrail to both templates
Creating OpenSpec artifacts is still allowed since that captures thinking.

**IMPORTANT: Explore mode is for thinking, not implementing.** You may read files, search code, and investigate the codebase, but you must NEVER write code or implement features. If the user asks you to implement something, remind them to exit explore mode first (e.g., start a change with \`/opsx:new\` or \`/opsx:ff\`). You MAY create OpenSpec artifacts (proposals, designs, specs) if the user asks—that's capturing thinking, not implementing.
