/**
 * `aidlc start` command — begin a new lifecycle instance.
 *
 * Behavior:
 * - Load templates from the package `templates/` dir and `.aidlc/templates/` (custom).
 * - If no template argument is given:
 *   - In interactive mode: list available templates and prompt for selection (Req 8.2).
 *   - In non-interactive mode: exit with error.
 * - Resolve the template (apply inheritance if needed).
 * - Determine scope from `--scope` option or template default.
 * - Determine initial phase based on scope (Req 5.1):
 *   full → ideation, standard → requirements, micro → implementation.
 * - Create instance namespace under `.aidlc/state/<name>/`.
 * - Write `instance.yaml` with initial state.
 * - Write initial `phase-<name>.yaml` files for all applicable phases (status: pending).
 * - Fire the on-instance-start event (actions from `.aidlc/actions.yaml`).
 * - Print summary to stdout.
 *
 * Requirements: 5.1, 8.2, 20.1, 23.1
