Renn F e6c9dde2a9 fix(runtime): stop the chown storm from starving claims, and savepoint the PM journal auto-record
Claim-shaped verbs were failing 7/7 (claim_review) and 6/6
(claim_doc_task) as silent 120s FlowVerbTimeout 504s on the NAS: the
per-claim ownership repair walked the whole clone issuing two stat
syscalls per entry (chown_ms 39502 vs git_ms 8 in the live log), several
passes stacked per claim, and the claim transaction held the task row
the whole time — so concurrent writers queued behind it into the 60s
lock_timeout. The walk now does one stat per entry shared by the
chown-skip and chmod-skip checks, and a .git/roboco-owned sentinel
(worktree-aware via _resolve_clone_root, written only after a
zero-failure pass) skips the walk entirely when the tree is already
agent-owned. Every root-side git write invalidates the sentinel BEFORE
its subprocess runs — GitService._run_git for scope != none, plus the
three raw-subprocess paths inside WorkspaceService the adversarial pass
proved bypass it deterministically on the common respawn shape
(_worktree_git for mutating verbs, _fetch_branch_ref,
_fetch_origin_best_effort) — so a live marker can never vouch for files
a root write is about to create.

One of those queued writers was the PM journal-decision auto-record:
its INSERT hit the lock timeout, _ensure_pm_decision's catch-all
swallowed it without rollback, and the poisoned session blew up
escalate_up with PendingRollbackError (live incident). The helper's try
body now runs in a savepoint — one fix covering all seven PM verbs that
route through it — verified empirically against real Postgres in both
directions: the failure path leaves the session healthy and the task
object readable, and create_entry's internal commit inside the savepoint
drains the transactional outbox exactly once.

"""Gate Set B: delegation-time guards in Choreographer.delegate.
Pre-gateway behavior: a PM could only call ``task_create`` while spawned
in-context, which only happened after the orchestrator saw them claim
and start a parent task. That implicit gate is restored explicitly here:
- PARENT_NOT_CLAIMED: parent must be in_progress AND assigned_to PM.
- SUBTASK_CAP: 8 children = soft warn (allowed), >12 = hard block.
