chore: merge master into feat/issue-646-policy-guardrail-visibility (base sync)

Phase 3 child of the Web Console epic #631. Operators can now see the active
workflow policy/guardrail configuration from the console instead of reading the
repo tree.

- webui/policy_inventory.py (new): redacted, machine-readable guardrail
  inventory. One row per major guardrail (role separation/RBAC, lease rules,
  worktree binding, merge confirmation, redaction, contamination, allocator
  policy, audit logging, mutation gating) with source pointers (file/module/doc)
  and a compact active projection from the existing safe policy accessors.
  Fail-soft per entry; whole payload run through console_redaction before emit;
  diff vs documented default where feasible.
- webui/policy_views.py (new): HTML cards with source pointers, active config,
  and the documented-default diff; read-only page copy, no forms.
- webui/app.py: register GET /policy and GET /api/v1/policy (additive).
- webui/layout.py: add Policy nav item.
- tests/test_webui_policy_visibility.py (new): guardrail presence + source
  pointers (AC1), redaction incl. planted-secret masking and scan_for_secrets
  (AC2/AC3), read-only page + no-mutation routes (AC4), fail-soft rendering.
- docs/webui-local-dev.md: route table + read-only policy-visibility section.

Read-only throughout; no policy editing, no gate-weakening toggle, secrets
redacted.

-## Workflow-event timeline (#637)
-
-`GET /api/v1/timeline` is a read-only, versioned aggregation of workflow
-events from every available source into one normalised, filterable stream. It
-is the model layer for the Phase 1 timeline console view (a later child issue
-of #631); this issue ships the schema, adapters, and read API only.
-
-### Schema (versioned)
-
-`webui/timeline.py` declares `TIMELINE_SCHEMA_VERSION` (currently `1`) and the
-frozen `WorkflowEvent` record. Every response carries `schema_version` so a
-consumer can branch on shape. One event:
-
-```json
-{
-  "source": "control_plane",
-  "event_type": "lease.renew",
-  "event_key": "cp:1421",
-  "timestamp": "2026-07-23T02:00:00Z",
-  "actor": null,
-  "role": null,
-  "issue_number": 637,
-  "pr_number": null,
-  "session_id": null,
-  "tool_name": null,
-  "decision": null,
-  "message": "lease renewed",
-  "correlation_id": "issue#637",
-  "evidence_refs": [],
-  "sensitive": true
-}
-```
-
-`event_key` is stable and unique per source (`cp:<event_id>`,
-`cth:<kind>:<number>:<comment_id>`), so pagination and dedup are deterministic.
-
-### Sources and field authority
-
-| Source | Adapter | Authority |
-|---|---|---|
-| Control-plane `events` ⋈ `work_items` | `adapt_cp_events` | `event_type`, `message`, `timestamp`, issue/PR scope come from the CP database, read through a `mode=ro` URI (never creates the DB or runs migrations) |
-| Gitea Canonical Thread Handoff comments | `adapt_cth_comments` | `actor`, `role` (next owner), `decision`, `evidence_refs`, `timestamp` come from the parsed CTH comment body (`canonical_thread_handoff`) |
-
-Handoff comments are thread-scoped: they are only read when the request filters
-by a single `issue` or `pr`. Otherwise the handoff source reports `not run`
-with a reason — it is never rendered as empty-and-healthy. Each source degrades
-independently: an unavailable control-plane DB or a failed comment fetch is a
-`sources[]` entry with `ok:false` and a `reason`, never a dropped timeline.
-
-### Query parameters
-
-`issue`, `pr`, `session` (conjunctive filters); `limit` (default 50, max 500)
-and `offset` for pagination; `remote`, `org`, `repo` to override the default
-registry-project scope. Events sort ascending by
-`(timestamp, source_rank, event_key)`; missing timestamps sort last.
-
-### Filter authority, and refusing what cannot be answered
-
-A filter dimension is only meaningful for a source whose records carry it.
-Each source declares its own support in `_SOURCE_FILTER_SUPPORT` and reports it
-per response as `supported_filters` / `unsupported_filters`:
-
-| Source | issue | pr | session |
-|---|---|---|---|
-| `control_plane` | yes | yes | **no** — the `events` table is `(event_id, work_item_id, event_type, message, created_at)` and records no session |
-| `gitea_handoff` | yes | yes | yes — a CTH comment declares its own `Session:` field |
-
-`session_id` is read only from that declared CTH field. It is never inferred
-from a work item, an actor, or message text, and a value that is
-redaction-altering or bare-secret-shaped is dropped rather than emitted.
-
-When **no source that ran** can carry a requested dimension, the request is
-refused rather than answered: the response is `422` with `ok:false` and a
-structured `error` naming `unsupported_filters` and the per-source reason. A
-`200` with zero events would tell an operator that no such activity exists,
-which is a stronger — and false — claim than "this cannot be answered here".
-A source that *can* answer the dimension and simply matched nothing still
-returns `200` with `ok:true` and an empty page.
-
-### Redaction
-
-Every free-text field (event messages, decision/proof text, roles, actors) is
-passed through the console redaction policy (`webui.console_redaction`, backed
-by `gitea_audit.redact`) before it leaves the module, failing closed to the
-placeholder. No unredacted tool arguments or secrets are ever emitted, and a
-generation error never drops raw data to a caller or a log.
-
-Redaction also runs *before* any structured value is derived from free text.
-`evidence_refs` are extracted from already-redacted proof/decision text, and a
-commit reference is recognised only where the text declares one (`commit`,
-`head`, `base`, `sha`, …). An undeclared 40-character hex run has the exact
-shape of a Gitea access token, so it is never lifted out of prose into a
-structured field. Every reference is then independently revalidated against an
-allowed shape and a second redaction pass immediately before serialization;
-anything unproven is dropped and the event is flagged `sensitive`.

+"""Read-only workflow policy and guardrail inventory for the web UI (#646).
+
+Policy and guardrails live in code, profiles, docs, and skills. An operator
+cannot *see* the active workflow policy configuration from the console without
+reading the repository tree. This module projects the major guardrails into a
+redacted, machine-readable inventory with source attribution (file / module /
+doc), so the console can render them as HTML tables with source pointers.
+
+Design constraints (Phase 3, #646):
+
+- **Read-only projection.** Nothing here edits policy or exposes a toggle that
+  could weaken a gate. It reports what is already enforced elsewhere.
+- **Source attribution without secrets.** Every guardrail carries pointers to
+  the file/module/doc that owns it. Live values are compact summaries derived
+  from the safe policy accessors that already exist (``rbac_matrix``,
+  ``redaction_policy``, ``audit_policy``); raw regex, tokens, and endpoints are
+  never embedded.
+- **Redact before emit.** ``snapshot_to_dict`` runs the whole payload through
+  ``console_redaction.redact_payload`` so a planted or accidental secret in any
+  projected value degrades to the placeholder rather than reaching a client.
+- **Fail soft.** A projection that raises is recorded as a per-entry error and
+  never takes the page down; a guardrail is still listed with its sources.
+- **Diff vs documented defaults where feasible.** When a guardrail declares a
+  documented invariant, the active projection is compared against it and the
+  result is reported; otherwise the diff is explicitly ``None`` with a reason.

-"""Workflow-event and conversation timeline model (#637, Phase 1).
-
-Operators cannot browse a unified timeline of workflow events, decisions,
-tool calls, and handoffs: the evidence is scattered across control-plane
-events, Gitea canonical handoff comments, and local logs. This module defines
-one durable, versioned event schema and per-source adapters that normalise
-those scattered records into a single ``WorkflowEvent`` stream, plus a
-read-only query layer (filter by issue / PR / session, stable ordering,
-pagination) that the ``/api/v1/timeline`` route serves.
-
-Design rules honoured here:
-
-- **Read-only.** Sources are read; nothing is mutated. The control-plane
-  database is opened through a ``mode=ro`` URI so a missing or unwritable DB
-  degrades to a reason instead of creating directories or running migrations.
-- **Fail-soft per source.** An unavailable source degrades to a status with a
-  reason rather than raising, and a source that could not run is never
-  rendered as an empty-and-healthy timeline.
-- **Answerable filters only.** Each source declares which filter dimensions it
-  can actually answer. A filter dimension no source that ran can carry is
-  refused with an explicit reason rather than silently matching nothing: an
-  empty page from an unanswerable filter reads to an operator as "no such
-  activity", which is a different — and false — statement.
-- **Redaction at the boundary, fail closed.** Every free-text field (event
-  messages, redacted tool arguments, decision/proof text) is run through the
-  console redaction policy before it leaves this module, and *before* any
-  structured value is derived from it — evidence references are extracted from
-  redacted text, then independently revalidated before serialization. An
-  unredactable value becomes the placeholder, and a value that cannot be proven
-  safe is dropped — an unredacted payload is never emitted, and a generation
-  error never drops raw data to a caller or a log.
-- **Stable ordering.** Events sort by ``(timestamp, source_rank, event_key)``
-  with a deterministic tiebreak, so pagination is stable across calls and
-  events with equal or missing timestamps keep a fixed order.
-
-Non-goals (from the issue): no full chat replay, no mutation of historical
-events, no unredacted tool-argument storage.
