chore(routing): retire haiku from delivery-lifecycle roles (#680)

Haiku can't reliably emit the structured envelopes the lifecycle now
runs on — pass_review's per-AC criteria_verified, delegate's
covers_parent_criteria, the findings ledger. A haiku QA/PM claims, gets
validation-rejected, idles, respawns, and loops without advancing a task
(2026-07-24 live: fe-qa on haiku looped four awaiting_qa tasks to zero
progress). The per-token savings (~2x under the Sonnet-5 promo, 3x after)
are dwarfed by the cost of a review that never completes.

Three coordinated changes: ROLE_MODEL_MAP's qa/documenter defaults move
haiku -> sonnet (the actual source of the live incident); the cost_tiered
developer:low -> haiku seed retires to empty (the floor would upgrade it
anyway); and a structured-verb capability floor upgrades any below-floor
Anthropic assignment to sonnet at resolution — from a pin, a ROLE row,
or a future map edit — in both the assignment and legacy paths.
Non-Anthropic providers are untouched (an Anthropic-tier floor, not a
provider policy). pr_reviewer/auditor stay on opus.
