fix: paginate repository-label inventory for gitea_set_issue_labels (#627)

Replace single-page GET labels?limit=100 with api_get_all-backed
_repo_label_id_map so later-page labels (e.g. type:feature,
workflow-hardening) are not falsely rejected during full-set replacement.

Also add post-mutation verification, fix related MCP/CLI label inventory
call sites, and add multi-page regression tests for the #601 reconciler
failure mode.

Closes #627

+## Lease lifecycle API (#601)
+
+Module: `lease_lifecycle.py` · MCP tools: `gitea_*_workflow_lease(s)`
+
+Active control-plane leases are **first-class workflow state**:
+
+| Tool | Purpose |
+|------|---------|
+| `gitea_list_workflow_leases` | List active (or all) leases for a repo |
+| `gitea_inspect_workflow_lease` | Freshness + `safe_next_action` for one lease id |
+| `gitea_adopt_workflow_lease` | Owner-resume or sanctioned reclaim with provenance |
+| `gitea_release_workflow_lease` | Explicit owner release (audited) |
+| `gitea_expire_workflow_leases` | Deterministic expire of past-`expires_at` leases |
+| `gitea_abandon_workflow_lease` | Abandon with required proof |
+| `gitea_reclaim_expired_workflow_lease` | Expire + re-assign with provenance |
+
+### Hard rules
+
+1. Control-plane DB is the coordination authority — file locks / comment-only leases are not authoritative alone.
+2. Active foreign leases cannot be stolen; inspect returns `wait_foreign_active`.
+3. Abandon requires `(dead_process OR missing_worktree)` and `no_live_mutation_risk`; foreign abandon also needs `operator_authorized` or full dead+missing+no_open_pr proof.
+4. Adopt provenance always records `adopted_from_session_id`, `adopted_by_session_id`, work identity, optional head SHA, and worktree path.
+5. Reviewer→merger comment handoff (`gitea_adopt_merger_pr_lease`) is unchanged and remains the Gitea-thread durability path.
+
+```bash
+python3 -m pytest tests/test_lease_lifecycle.py tests/test_control_plane_db.py tests/test_allocator_service.py tests/test_merger_lease_adoption.py -q

+## Incident bridge (#612)
+
+Module: `incident_bridge.py` · MCP tools: `gitea_observability_*`
+
+- Bridge converts Sentry/GlitchTip observations → **normal Gitea issues** + `incident_links`.
+- Phase-1: `gitea_observability_reconcile_incident(apply=false|true)` with JSON observation.
+- Dry-run performs **no** Gitea mutation and **no** DB write.
+- Apply reuses existing links or creates one Gitea issue; never invents `work_items.kind=incident`.
+- Config: `GITEA_OBSERVABILITY_PROJECTS_JSON` or `GITEA_OBSERVABILITY_PROJECTS_FILE`.
+- Provider tokens never appear in issue bodies, links, or tool results.
+- Allocator sees bridge work only after a Gitea issue exists.
 
 ## Non-goals (intentionally deferred)
 
-- Sentry/GlitchTip provider adapters and auto-watchdog — **#612**
-- Gitea comment/label mirror writers (may be added by allocator tooling later)
+- Full unsupervised watchdog auto-filing (prefer explicit reconcile first)
+- Assuming GlitchTip writeback API equals Sentry without verification
+- Gitea comment/label mirror writers for every assignment (optional later)
