fix(mcp): clear sticky reviewer denial on allowed author task route (#238)

Add sync_from_capability_result() so reviewer terminal mode is
operation-scoped: a later allowed author capability resolution clears
stale denial state and unblocks read-only tools like gitea_list_prs.

Error messages now name the denied task and explain how to clear stale
state. Inline trust-gate parsing fixes broken imports in
assess_capability_stop_report on master.
