fix: improve error messages for invalid rule files

[sarthakNITT]

Description

• Improved validation logic to detect when a file in .continue/rules fails to parse.
• Replaced the generic "Failed to convert prompt file" error with a more specific "Failed to parse rule definition" message for rule files.
• Included the actual YAML parser error details in the message to help users debug syntax issues (e.g., missing commas, flow sequence errors).

There is an isRuleFile util you could use here

[sarthakNITT]

I searched for isRuleFile but couldn't find it. I did find isColocatedRulesFile in core/config/loadLocalAssistants.ts. Is this the intended utility? Or should I create rules util file?
Please clarify me on it

@sarthakNITT I was just completely wrong on this, thanks for checking

[sarthakNITT]

@RomneyDa Sure.
