T002: [Spec 005: Requirements Quality Checklist] Create base checklist template at .specify/templates/checklist-template.md (8 dimensions, ~50 item #3035

Task Summary

Task ID: T002 — Spec 005: Requirements Quality Checklist.

Create the base checklist template at .specify/templates/checklist-template.md covering the eight quality dimensions (Completeness, Clarity, Consistency, Measurability, Scenario Coverage, Edge Cases, Dependencies, Ambiguities) with roughly 50 items in Markdown.

Current state: not yet delivered. .specify/templates/checklist-template.md on develop is still the generic SpecKit template with six sample items in two placeholder categories, and PR #3361 does not change it. PR #3361 ships the eight dimension bodies as separate files under .specify/templates/checklist-template/content/, and its tasks.md marks T002 [x]. A decision is needed: either update checklist-template.md to the eight-dimension structure, or record that the content/ files satisfy T002 and correct the task wording.
