feat(author): add capability, secret sweep, and author PR report proof helpers and tests (#183)

- Add 'mark_issue' to TASK_MAP in resolve_task_capability for exact mutation proof (closes gap on unknown treated as allowed).
- Add assess_controller_handoff and integrate into build_final_report (downgrades missing handoff).
- Add tests for handoff and update existing.
- Update SKILL.md and review-pr.md to mandate exact 'Controller Handoff' section, exact sweep evidence, PR head SHA in reports.
- Author profile used throughout; no review/merge.

-"""Fail-closed branch-identity proofs for author workflows (#177).
-
-Author-side counterpart of the reviewer proofs in ``review_proofs.py``
-(#173). During the #173 implementation itself, a commit landed on local
-``master`` because the shared checkout's branch moved mid-session (origin
-incident of #177). These helpers turn that from an after-the-fact repair
-into a fail-closed gate: an author workflow must prove its local git state
-before staging, committing, or pushing.
-
-The helpers are pure (no git calls): the workflow gathers the raw facts
-(``git branch --show-current``, ``git rev-parse HEAD``, the push refspec,
-the branch named in the issue claim) and passes them in, so the same logic
-works from prompts, harness assertions, and tests. Shared-worktree branch
-switches by other sessions are treated as expected events to detect, not
-exceptional ones. Nothing here weakens the review/merge/permission gates.

-Issue #177 (author-side counterpart of the #173 reviewer proofs) requires
-author workflows to *prove* local git state before staging, committing, or
-pushing, instead of discovering drift after the fact:
-
-1. The current branch equals the intended feature branch and is never a
-   protected branch (master/main/develop/development/dev).
-2. Branch or HEAD drift between validation and commit — including external
-   branch switches in a shared worktree — stops the workflow.
-3. A push requires local branch, remote target branch, and intended issue
-   branch to all match.
-4. An accidental commit on a protected branch must not be pushed and its
