docs(milestones): add gender doctrine and clean up IDEAS.md
Add Gender Doctrine group to M3 task 3.8 with three options: male_preference (Steel Ministry), equal (Survivorism, Terris), irrelevant (Cult of Ruin). Women can hold titles, serve in council, and wield Allomancy in all faiths — only inheritance order is affected. Add gender preference to M4 government types. Remove integrated ideas from IDEAS.md (unlanded crew → M5, debug decisions → TESTING.md). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

## Gameplay

- **Kelsier's crew as an unlanded start** — Play as a skaa thieving

- **Testing decisions per milestone** — Create temporary debug decisions

gated behind a `debug_mode` game rule for each milestone. These let us
|

force specific game states for testing (e.g., "Set Lord Ruler Attention

to 80," "Trigger Snapping on Target," "Spawn Inquisitor," "Set Caste
|

Law to Relaxed," "Unlock Age of Liberation," "Kill Kelsier"). Ship
|
||||
them in a separate `common/decisions/99_debug_decisions.txt` that gets
|
||||
removed (or gated behind a hidden game rule) before Steam release.
|
||||
Each milestone doc should specify which debug decisions are needed for
|
||||
its testing checkpoints.
