Introduce an explicit, fail-closed recovery operation that rebinds a live
author session to an already-registered dirty issue worktree when the durable
lock still belongs to the same identity/profile and the recorded owner PID is
provably dead. Ordinary locking remains clean-worktree-only; this path updates
only stale lock/session provenance, preserves every dirty byte under fingerprint
pins, and grants create-PR-sanctioned provenance without remote sync or recovery
worktrees.
Also stop treating dead-owner session pointers as live mutation workspace
bindings so a stale dead-owner pointer cannot poison unrelated author work.
Add lock_provenance metadata on gitea_lock_issue writes and fail closed at
gitea_create_pr when provenance is missing. Final-report validation now
requires explicit External-state mutations disclosure for issue-lock
read/write/delete and blocks mixed author PR creation with reviewer approval.
