fix(review): cross-PR decision-lock isolation and recovery diagnosis (Closes #693)

Prevent foreign open-PR terminals on the durable review-decision lock from
blocking fresh formal reviews. Scope correction authorization to the named
prior review's PR/head, add read-only diagnosis with exact next_action and
durable handoff payloads, require thread-visible correction audits, and
cover the PR #688 → #692 recovery sequence in regression tests.

-# MCP daemon import and native-transport guard (#558 / #695)
+# MCP daemon import and keychain guard (#558)
 
 ## Problem
 
-During deadlock debugging and the PR #694 incident (#695), agents imported
-`gitea_mcp_server` or ran credential helpers from a raw shell / offline helper,
-bypassing native MCP transport, preflight purity, and role gates. Contaminated
-formal reviews then looked identical to native approvals.
+During deadlock debugging, agents imported `gitea_mcp_server` / ran credential
+helpers from a raw shell, bypassing preflight purity and role gates.
 
 ## Rule
 
-Mutation auth, keychain fill, and controller quarantine require a **production
-native MCP transport runtime** established only by:
-
-1. the **resolved absolute path** of the canonical entrypoint
-   (`mcp_server.py` / `gitea_mcp_server.py` next to `mcp_daemon_guard.py`), and
-2. a live **transport bind** (`bind_native_mcp_transport(transport="stdio")`)
-   immediately before `mcp.run`.
-
-Basename-only trust (a renamed file called `mcp_server.py`), caller-controlled
-flags (there is **no** `allow_test_bootstrap`), environment variables, stack
-frame spoofing, or import-only launch are insufficient.
+Mutation auth and keychain fill require a **sanctioned MCP daemon** process.
 
 | Context | Allowed |
 |---------|---------|
-| Official IDE-native MCP: resolved canonical entrypoint marks + binds stdio, holds process-local runtime token | yes |
-| pytest (hermetic unit tests) via `is_pytest_runtime()` | yes for unit gates |
-| `install_test_native_runtime()` under pytest (test-mode record) | unit-test transport gates only — **never** production Gitea mutations |
-| `allow_test_bootstrap=True` (removed; must not exist) | **no** |
-| Renamed runner basename `mcp_server.py` outside package root | **no** |
-| Import/launch of real entrypoint without transport bind | **no** |
-| `GITEA_MCP_SANCTIONED_DAEMON=1` alone (no process-local native runtime) | **no** (#695) |
-| `GITEA_ALLOW_DIRECT_MCP_IMPORT=1` in LLM sessions | **no** — never set; never authorizes mutations (#695 AC1 / PR #701) |
-| Override `GITEA_MCP_SESSION_STATE_DIR` mid-session | **no** — production bind pins state root; redirect cannot forge independent decision locks (#695 AC2 / PR #701) |
-| `GITEA_ALLOW_KEYCHAIN_CLI=1` in LLM sessions | **no** — human operator only |
-| bare `python -c 'import gitea_mcp_server; …'` or offline runners | **no** |
-| keychain fill outside native/pytest | **no** |
-
-Native runtime is **process-local**: a random token bound to the daemon PID and
-transport phase. It is never reconstructed from environment variables,
-session-state files, caller-controlled flags, or importing internals in a
-fresh Python process.
-
-## Contaminated review quarantine (#695 AC8)
-
-Controller/reconciler/merger profiles may call
-`gitea_quarantine_contaminated_review` with explicit confirmation:
-
-```text
-QUARANTINE CONTAMINATED REVIEW <review_id> PR <pr_number>
-```
-
-Quarantine records are durable under the MCP session-state root and are
-**honored** by:
-
-- `gitea_get_pr_review_feedback` (quarantined approvals do not authorize merge)
-- `gitea_check_pr_eligibility` action=`merge`
-- `gitea_merge_pr` (mutation)
-- merger lease adoption paths that read `approval_at_current_head`
-
-Forensic Gitea reviews and historical comments are **never deleted**.
-
-## STOP after native MCP failure (AC10)
-
-If the native MCP namespace dies (EOF, capability disconnect, session death):
-
-1. **STOP.** State BLOCKED + DIAGNOSE.
-2. Do **not** import `gitea_mcp_server` from a standalone process.
-3. Do **not** run `offline_mcp_helper.py`, `offline_mcp_runner.py`,
-   `run_quarantine.py`, or any offline mutation helper.
-4. Do **not** set direct-import, keychain-bypass, or raw-token environment
-   variables.
-5. Reconnect / restart the official MCP daemon; resume only via native tools.
-
-Any further native MCP failure is a hard stop. Do not construct another fallback.
-
-## Canonical approval claims (AC7)
-
-Comments that claim `approved` / `ready-to-merge` / `WHO_IS_NEXT: merger` /
-`MERGE_READY: true` must include:
-
-```text
-NATIVE_REVIEW_PROOF: transport=native_mcp; …
-```
-
-Claims that cite offline/import helpers are rejected even if a proof line is
-present.
+| Official MCP entrypoint (`mcp_server.py` / `gitea_mcp_server` `__main__`) sets `GITEA_MCP_SANCTIONED_DAEMON=1` | yes |
+| pytest | yes |
+| `GITEA_ALLOW_DIRECT_MCP_IMPORT=1` (operator/tests only) | yes |
+| bare `python -c 'import gitea_auth; get_auth_header(...)'` | **no** |
+| keychain fill without daemon | **no** unless `GITEA_ALLOW_KEYCHAIN_CLI=1` |
 
 ## Operator note
 
-LLM sessions must never set allow-direct-import, allow-keychain-cli, or raw
-token overrides. Those are human-only escape hatches outside agent workflows.
