fix: resolve conflicts for PR #384

Merge prgs/master; keep read-only reconciliation tools (#301) alongside
master's gitea_reconcile_already_landed_pr close path (#310). Unify task
routing: reconcile_landed_pr stays author/read-only; reconcile-landed-pr
and reconcile_already_landed_pr stay reconciler.

+## Reconciler profile for already-landed open PRs (#310)
+
+Normal author and reviewer profiles must not gain broad PR-close authority.
+Already-landed open PRs (head SHA is an ancestor of the target branch) need a
+dedicated reconciler profile such as `prgs-reconciler` with:
+
+- `gitea.read`
+- `gitea.pr.comment`
+- `gitea.issue.comment`
+- `gitea.issue.close`
+- `gitea.pr.close`
+
+Use the `gitea-reconciler` MCP namespace (static profile launch) and the
+`gitea_reconcile_already_landed_pr` tool. The resolver task is
+`reconcile_already_landed_pr`. PR close is allowed only after live PR fetch,
+fresh target-branch fetch, recorded target SHA, and ancestor proof. PRs whose
+heads are not already landed cannot be closed through this path.

 * **Trust Model:** Separate tokens remain separate in the keychain/environment. Each instance operates under its own `GITEA_MCP_PROFILE` and enforces its own `allowed_operations`. A runtime `whoami` identity check is still performed independently, and self-review/self-merge checks remain strictly mandatory. The dual-server pattern is a operational convenience and never a security bypass.
 * **Reviewer-Identity PR Creation Deadlock:** Reviewer/merge identities must not create PRs or push branches. Doing so makes the reviewer identity the PR author in Gitea, blocking subsequent independent review and causing a review deadlock. Normally, PRs must be created by the author/work identity (`gitea-author`), leaving the reviewer identity (`gitea-reviewer`) clean and available for independent review and merge.
