feat(author): add dirty-preserving same-claimant author-session rebind (Closes #864)

Introduce an explicit, fail-closed recovery operation that rebinds a live
author session to an already-registered dirty issue worktree when the durable
lock still belongs to the same identity/profile and the recorded owner PID is
provably dead. Ordinary locking remains clean-worktree-only; this path updates
only stale lock/session provenance, preserves every dirty byte under fingerprint
pins, and grants create-PR-sanctioned provenance without remote sync or recovery
worktrees.

Also stop treating dead-owner session pointers as live mutation workspace
bindings so a stale dead-owner pointer cannot poison unrelated author work.

-# Sanctioned restart and graceful reload controls (#642)
-
-Sessions used to recover MCP connectivity by killing the host daemon
-(`pkill -f mcp_server.py`, #630). That is forbidden and stays forbidden: it
-kills every namespace on the host, contaminates whichever session survives, and
-leaves no audit trail. This document describes the sanctioned replacement,
-implemented in `webui/sanctioned_restart.py`.
-
-## What the console will and will not do
-
-The console **never** restarts anything. It authorizes an intent, records it,
-and hands off to a host supervisor. There is no code path in which the console
-sends a signal, spawns a process, or renders a kill command — a regression test
-asserts the module contains no `subprocess`, `signal`, `os.kill`, `os.system`,
-or `popen` reference, and that no returned payload contains a kill command.
-
-## Operations
-
-| Mode | Action | Minimum role | Behaviour |
-|------|--------|--------------|-----------|
-| `reload` | `system.reload_namespace` | controller | Host supervisor reloads the namespace in place, draining in-flight requests. |
-| `restart` | `system.restart_namespace` | admin | Host supervisor restarts the namespace. In-flight requests are lost. |
-
-Scope is always exactly one namespace. A fleet-wide restart is an explicit
-non-goal: `all`, `*`, `fleet`, and an empty scope are refused with
-`fleet_scope_not_permitted`, because that is precisely the blast radius the
-forbidden kill already had. An unrecognised namespace is refused rather than
-passed through to the host.
-
-## The gate sequence
-
-`assess_restart_request()` applies every gate in order and reports the first
-failure with a stable reason code:
-
-| Order | Gate | Reason code on failure |
-|-------|------|------------------------|
-| 1 | Mode is `restart` or `reload` | `unknown_mode` |
-| 2 | Scope is a single known namespace | `fleet_scope_not_permitted`, `unknown_namespace` |
-| 3 | Principal holds the required console role | `unauthorized` |
-| 4 | Confirmation phrase supplied | `confirmation_required` |
-| 5 | Confirmation names this namespace and mode | `confirmation_mismatch` |
-| 6 | Out-of-band operator authorization present | `operator_authorization_missing` |
-| 7 | Runtime is not contaminated | `contaminated_runtime` |
-| 8 | Host restart hook configured | `restart_hook_not_configured` |
-
-Passing every gate yields `host_action_required`, never "restarted".
-
-### Confirmation binds the namespace
-
-The required phrase is `"<mode> <namespace>"` — for example
-`restart gitea-author`. Binding the namespace into the phrase is the point: a
-confirmation typed for one namespace cannot be replayed against another.
-
-### Operator authorization is not self-assertable
-
-Host daemon maintenance is authorized out of band through
-`GITEA_OPERATOR_DAEMON_MAINTENANCE_AUTHORIZATION`, read from the process
-environment and nowhere else (#630; #710 finding F1). A worker session cannot
-set an environment variable for an already-running daemon, so this cannot be
-faked the way a tool argument could.
-
-### The host hook
-
-`GITEA_SANCTIONED_RESTART_HOOK` holds an opaque reference the *host* resolves —
-a supervisor label such as a launchd job name, never a command line. With no
-hook configured the request is refused; the console does not fall back to a
-process kill. The value is read server-side and never rendered to a client.
-
-## Manual kill remains contamination
-
-`classify_restart_command()` classifies an operator-proposed recovery command.
-A manual `pkill`/`kill`/`killall` of the MCP daemon is contamination, not a
-restart: it returns `clean_claim_allowed: false` and builds a durable
-contamination marker (redacted command only, never secrets) naming
-`system.restart_namespace` as the sanctioned alternative.
-
-A live, uncleared contamination marker also blocks a restart. This is stricter
-than #630's task-scoped gate, which deliberately lets a contaminated worker keep
-commenting and handing off: restarting a contaminated runtime would launder the
-contamination rather than resolve it. Clear the marker through the reconciler
-path first.
-
-## Post-restart health verification
-
-After the host supervisor acts, `verify_post_restart_health()` decides whether
-the session may claim to be clean:
-
-| Status | Meaning | Clean claim |
-|--------|---------|-------------|
-| `clean` | Required tool callable, proven through the live client namespace | Allowed |
-| `unproven` | Reported healthy without live client-namespace evidence | Refused |
-| `unhealthy` | Probe failed | Refused |
-
-Only `probe_source=client_namespace` evidence clears a session. Static tool
-registration is not proof, and neither is an offline subprocess probe — an IDE
-client can hold a registered tool list while live calls fail with
-`client is closing: EOF` (see
-[`mcp-namespace-health.md`](mcp-namespace-health.md)).
-
-## Audit
-
-Every attempt — allowed or denied — is recorded through
-`webui.console_audit` with actor, target namespace, mode, result, and reason
-code, and is redacted before it is persisted. `system.restart_namespace` is
-break-glass, so its records are retained for 730 days. Records carry
-`process_kill_executed: false`, which is a fact about the code path rather than
-a claim: no such path exists.
-
-## Environment variables
-
-| Variable | Purpose |
-|----------|---------|
-| `GITEA_SANCTIONED_RESTART_HOOK` | Host supervisor reference; absent means restart is refused. |
-| `GITEA_OPERATOR_DAEMON_MAINTENANCE_AUTHORIZATION` | Out-of-band operator authorization reference. |
-| `WEBUI_AUDIT_LOG` | Console audit sink; absent means records are built but not persisted. |
-
-## Non-goals
-
-* No unrestricted `kill` from the UI, in any role, in any phase.
-* No fleet-wide restart.
-* No silent auto-restart loop: every attempt is confirmed and audited.
-* This does not implement the Phase 1 health API (#634).

-2. Manual ``pkill`` stays forbidden and is classified as contamination.
-3. Post-restart mutations require clean health/session proof.

-"""Sanctioned MCP restart and graceful reload controls (#642, Phase 2).
-
-Sessions have historically recovered MCP connectivity by killing the host
-daemon (``pkill -f mcp_server.py``, #630). That path stays forbidden: it kills
-every namespace on the host, contaminates the surviving session, and leaves no
-audit trail. This module is the sanctioned replacement.
-
-A restart is modelled as a *gated action*, never as a command:
-
-1. **Capability** — the console action resolves through ``console_authz``
-   against ``task_capability_map``, so the console cannot invent an authority
-   the MCP layer does not already define.
-2. **Preview** — :func:`build_restart_preview` renders a mutation ledger and
-   the exact confirmation phrase. It never returns a shell command.
-3. **Confirmation** — the operator echoes a phrase naming the exact namespace
-   and mode. A phrase for one namespace never authorizes another.
-4. **Operator authorization** — host daemon maintenance is authorized out of
-   band through the environment (#630, and #710 finding F1: a worker session
-   cannot set an env var for an already-running daemon, so this cannot be
-   self-asserted the way a tool argument could).
-5. **Execution** — :func:`execute_restart` never spawns a process. Once every
-   gate passes it hands the request to the configured host-managed restart
-   hook; with no hook configured it fails closed.
-6. **Health recheck** — :func:`verify_post_restart_health` requires live
-   client-namespace probe evidence before any post-restart clean claim.
-
-Manual ``pkill`` remains forbidden and is classified as contamination by
-:func:`classify_restart_command`, which blocks clean claims (#630 AC3).
-
-This module performs no I/O beyond reading its own environment configuration,
-imports no MCP client, and holds no credential.
