feat: enforce capability stop terminal mode after reviewer denial (Issue #197)

Enter terminal mode when review_pr/merge_pr capability is denied. Block
reviewer queue tools (list_prs, eligibility checks) and add report-purity
validators for forbidden PR selection, fallback, and empty-queue claims.

Closes #197
