Description

Add a "Resume DT Coaching" handoff entry to the task-researcher agent definition, enabling users to return to DT coaching after completing RPI research tasks. This creates the reverse path of the DT→RPI handoff: when task-researcher completes research triggered by a Problem Space exit, the user can return to the DT coach with research findings integrated.

The handoff targets the dt-resume-coaching prompt which handles session context recovery, coaching state restoration, and method continuation.
