feat: isolate MCP workspace binding across role namespaces (Closes #510)

Namespace-scoped workspace resolution prevents GITEA_AUTHOR_WORKTREE from
poisoning reviewer, merger, and reconciler purity checks. Each role uses
its own worktree env var with actionable binding-source errors and safe
reconnect guidance. Preserves #274/#475 author and control-checkout guards.

## Namespace workspace binding (#510)
Each MCP namespace resolves its **own** active task workspace. Foreign role
worktree environment variables must not poison another namespace's purity
checks.
| Namespace | Workspace env vars (in priority under `GITEA_ACTIVE_WORKTREE`) | Allowed roots |
|-----------|------------------------------------------------------------------|---------------|
| author | `GITEA_AUTHOR_WORKTREE` | `branches/<task>` worktree only (#274) |
| reviewer | `GITEA_REVIEWER_WORKTREE` | clean `branches/<review>` worktree |
| merger | `GITEA_MERGER_WORKTREE` | clean `branches/<merge>` worktree **or** clean control checkout |
| reconciler | `GITEA_RECONCILER_WORKTREE` | clean `branches/<reconcile>` worktree **or** clean control checkout |
`GITEA_AUTHOR_WORKTREE` is **author-only**. Reviewer, merger, and reconciler
MCP processes ignore it even when it points at a dirty author WIP tree.
### Safe reconnect / rebind procedure
When a mutation blocks on workspace binding:
1. Read the error — it names the **resolved workspace path**, **role
namespace**, and **binding source** (tool arg, env var, or process root).
2. Reconnect or relaunch the correct namespace MCP server from the intended
workspace (or set the role-specific env var before launch).
3. Pass `worktree_path` on reviewer/merger mutation tools when the active
branches/ worktree differs from the MCP process root.
4. **Do not** clean, reset, or discard foreign role worktrees to unblock your
own namespace — that destroys another agent's WIP.
### CTH guidance for workspace binding blockers
When posting a Canonical Thread Handoff after a binding blocker:
- State which namespace was active (author / reviewer / merger / reconciler).
- Quote the resolved workspace path and binding source from the error.
- Name the safe reconnect action (relaunch MCP from `branches/...`, set
`GITEA_*_WORKTREE`, or pass `worktree_path`).
- Explicitly note that foreign worktrees must not be cleaned to unblock.
## Safety notes
- Never place raw tokens or passwords in any LLM MCP config; reference secrets
