Fixes the two failures from the first main-branch CI run.

• install the documented mise wrapper in the Test job
• make real-PTY text assertions choose plain output explicitly
• record the CI environment trap and repair evidence

Verification:

• uncached canonical gate with GOROOT and NO_COLOR removed
• independent task reviews and whole-branch review with zero findings

Walkthrough

The PR adds mise setup to the CI test job and makes real-PTY setup output deterministic by passing --color never. It also adds design, implementation, verification, and troubleshooting documentation for the portability repairs.

Changes

CI portability

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Portability design and verification scope docs/superpowers/specs/..., docs/superpowers/plans/...	The design and plan document the missing mise dependency, PTY color behavior, repair steps, verification commands, and non-goals.
Deterministic PTY output tests/e2e/setup_test.go, gotchas.md, docs/superpowers/plans/...	runSetupPTY passes --color never. The documentation records the NO_COLOR environment issue and related verification workflow.
CI mise setup .github/workflows/ci.yml, docs/superpowers/plans/...	The test job runs jdx/mise-action@v4 with install: false before dependency download. The plan records the missing-command failure and validation steps.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Poem

A rabbit checks the runner bright

Mise now hops into the test job right
PTY colors fade from view
Plain transcripts make contracts true
CI carrots pass the night
