feat(lifecycle): revision findings ledger — structured failure feedback, persisted and delivered down the chain (#486)

* feat(lifecycle): revision findings ledger — structured QA/PR/PM/CEO failure feedback, persisted and delivered down the chain

Every bounce used to survive only as flattened prose: rounds overwrote each
other in notes_structured, request_changes persisted nothing, two raw
dev_notes appends were silently destroyed by the next handoff note, and the
dev prompt pointed at fields (qa_notes via evidence(), pm_notes) the API
never delivered. Agents re-interpreted and re-discovered every failure
before they could start fixing it.

- task_review_findings (migration 071, append-only): file/line/severity/
  criterion(AC-id-validated)/expected/actual/fix/evidence per finding, with
  origin (qa|pr_gate|pm|ceo), round, and an open->addressed->verified
  lifecycle (waived reserved); new tasks.pm_notes + PmReviewContent give
  request_changes a structured home
- producers: fail_review/pr_fail/request_changes take findings=[...] (prose
  issues shimmed+merged for one release, deprecation-logged); ceo_reject
  validates its reason (no 500), lands an origin=ceo finding, and bumps
  round+audit on branchless coordination roots; guardrails at the verb
  chokepoint (nudge >5, hard reject >10, field caps, traversal-safe file);
  the dev_notes data-loss appends are removed; new task.request_changes +
  task.ceo_reject audit events close rework attribution
- delivery: qa_notes/pr_reviewer_notes/pm_notes carry the deterministic
  [F-id8] rendering; claim briefings, evidence(), the REVISION_REQUIRED
  spawn prompt, PM triage bounced-blocks, and A2A bodies deliver open
  findings; round-N+1 QA and gate reviewers get the full prior ledger;
  panel Findings tab + bounced-xN chip; metrics pm_rejects/ceo_rejects +
  findings counts; vault task notes render a Findings section (fail-open)
- resolution closes for every origin: i_am_done and submit_up/submit_root
  take resolved_findings gated by FINDINGS_ADDRESSED (owner-gated so a
  stale non-owner PM can never mutate the ledger); pass_review/pr_pass/
  complete verify-stamp same-transaction; ceo_approve stamps best-effort
- 24 real-DB integration tests drive the full loop through the real
  choreographer; full suite 12856 green

* docs: revision findings ledger sweep — CLAUDE.md, map, RAG corpus

- CLAUDE.md: new ledger section + corrected request_changes row
- docs/map/review-findings.md (new subsystem map) + surgical updates to
  task-service/pr-gate-review/metrics-observability/vault/panel maps
- docs/rag: producers' findings contract across qa/pr-reviewer/developer/
  cell-pm/main-pm/ceo role docs (the PM docs were missing request_changes
  entirely), verb references, and a new architecture/review-findings.md
  disambiguating ledger findings from convention findings

* test(e2e): resubmit resolves the pr_fail finding per the ledger contract

The scripted pr_fail revision loop resubmitted submit_up without
resolved_findings — correctly rejected now that FINDINGS_ADDRESSED gates
the PM resubmit verbs (green locally, red only in CI since the e2e suite
skips without ROBOCO_E2E_SMOKE=1). The scripted PM now reads the open
ledger row pr_fail persisted (new open_finding_ids arc helper) and
resolves it on resubmit, asserting the open set drains — exercising the
coordinator half of the new contract end to end.
