feat(tasks): sequence is the bar — strict sibling ordering at the claim chokepoint (#452)

* feat(tasks): enforce sibling sequence order at the claim chokepoint

A task with a parent and effective sequence N (COALESCE(sequence, 0))
can no longer be claimed while any sibling with a strictly lower
effective sequence is non-terminal — assignee-blind, independent of and
stricter than dependency_ids, enforced in _validate_claim_preconditions
so both claim paths (gateway verbs and the dispatcher's raw REST claim)
cross it. Ties run parallel; cancelled siblings never block; sequence 0
and parentless tasks are unaffected. Live failure this guards: a PM
delegated revision subtasks sequenced 0..3 with no dependency edges and
seq 2 started alongside seq 0 — sequence was advisory-only.

set_sequence's contract updated accordingly. New e2e smoke case drives
the refusal and the post-completion claim through the real gateway.

* chore(scripts): skip .uv-cache and .claude in the prose scanner

Repo-local tool dirs (private uv cache, agent worktrees) carry vendored
and generated markdown that tripped make reflow-check.

* fix(tasks): wave-derived delegation sequences + claim-gate hardening

Three fixes from the adversarial review of the sequence claim gate:

Delegation no longer stamps a raw per-sibling ordinal (deterministic
merge-order bookkeeping) as sequence — under the strict gate that
serialized ALL delegated work, including fully independent cross-dev and
cross-cell siblings. Sequences are now wave-derived post-wiring
(stamp_wave_sequence: 1 + max same-parent dependency sequence, 0 when
independent), so independent siblings tie and run parallel while
colliding/ordered work ascends. The cross-cell UX wiring restamps
instead of writing relative ux+1 values (a relative write could invert
a collision-derived stamp), and the dispatch merge/lane barriers gain a
created_at tiebreak for wave-tied siblings so shared-branch merge order
stays deterministic. PM-authored sequences are never rewritten.

The guard now also fires on reclaims from needs_revision (a lower-
sequence sibling delegated after the first claim was invisible), and
tasks.parent_task_id gains an index (migration 069) — the guard's
sibling probe ran as a Seq Scan on the hottest verb.
