Don't waste time on specs: /prototype instead

- Argues detailed up-front specs are inefficient for UI-heavy work compared to prototyping directly with AI; introduces “design fidelity” as the concept for how much prototype detail is worth building before implementation.
- Demonstrates a new
/prototypeworkflow inside Wayfinder — build a rough interactive prototype (search-bar example), iterate on the prototype directly, then transition from prototype to production once the design is validated. - Practical takeaway: skip the exhaustive written spec for design-heavy work; let the prototype absorb the design decisions, then formalize afterward.
