Add on-demand deep instruction file for Method 4: Brainstorming with advanced facilitation techniques (brainwriting, morphological analysis, provocation, attribute listing, round-robin forced connections), creative block recovery, advanced convergence frameworks (impact/effort matrix, dot voting, gap analysis, weighted D/F/V scoring), and cross-pollination from analogous industries. Includes solo/AI-coach adaptations for brainwriting and dot voting. Differentiates cross-domain perspective adoption from method-tier in-domain perspective shifting. Update collection manifests and regenerate plugins. Closes microsoft#600
