feat: make master-parity live-remote aware so a stale daemon fails closed (Closes #610)

Master-parity previously compared only the daemon's startup commit against the
local on-disk HEAD. When the checkout was not pulled, parity reported green even
though the live remote master had advanced, so a stale daemon could claim a
mutation-safe result while running outdated capability gates (observed during
PR #592 recovery, where the resolver correctly required restart but parity said
in_parity=true).

Changes:
- master_parity_gate.assess_master_parity() gains an optional live_remote_head
  and reports the three commits distinctly (daemon_start_head, local_head,
  live_remote_head) plus live_known / live_stale / mutation_safe. A result is
  mutation_safe only when daemon, local checkout, and live remote all agree.
- parity_block_reasons() now blocks mutations on live-staleness too; read-only
  operations remain unblocked (non-goal: never block diagnostics offline).
- New parity_resolver_disagreement(): typed fail-closed blocker naming the
  capability resolver as authoritative when it requires restart but parity
  looks locally green.
- New read_remote_master_head(): best-effort `git ls-remote` for the live
  target, cached with a 60s TTL (bounded offline latency, no network probe per
  gate call); env override GITEA_TEST_LIVE_REMOTE_HEAD keeps tests hermetic.
- Server: _current_master_parity() reads the live remote head;
  gitea_assess_master_parity and runtime_context surface the distinguished
  SHAs, mutation_safe, and resolver-authoritative guidance.

Tests: 13 new cases (live-remote parity, live-stale blocking + typed blocker,
remote-head reader + TTL cache, server wiring). Full suite: 2423 passed; the 8
remaining failures (test_config TestAuthIntegration, test_credentials
TestGetCredentials) are baseline-proven keychain/env failures identical on the
unmodified base.
