fix(bootstrap): allow author worktree bootstrap from clean control checkout (Closes #892)

Align assess_author_issue_bootstrap with bootstrap_permits_control_checkout
so gitea_bootstrap_author_issue_worktree can create the first branches/
worktree without the lock↔worktree deadlock.

-# MCP maintenance-drain mode (#659)
-
-Graceful **maintenance drain** stops new work assignment and defers non-allowlisted
-mutations so sessions can finish critical handoffs and checkpoint before a
-restart. It is **not** a restart authorization: the drain *proof* and apply gate
-remain #661.
-
-## State
-
-Per repository scope (`remote`/`org`/`repo`) in the control-plane DB table
-`maintenance_drain` (schema v6):
-
-| State | Meaning |
-|-------|---------|
-| `inactive` | Normal operation (also: no row) |
-| `draining` | Assignment stopped; non-allowlisted mutations deferred |
-
-Enter/exit transitions are audited as `maintenance_drain_enter` /
-`maintenance_drain_exit` events.
-
-## Tools
-
-| Tool | Permission | Effect |
-|------|------------|--------|
-| `gitea_maintenance_drain_status` | `gitea.read` | Observe drain (every session) |
-| `gitea_enter_maintenance_drain` | `runtime.maintenance_drain` | Enter drain (capability-gated) |
-| `gitea_exit_maintenance_drain` | `runtime.maintenance_drain` | Exit drain |
-
-`runtime.maintenance_drain` is intentionally **not** a `gitea.*` op, so ordinary
-author profiles cannot enter drain by accident.
-
-## Enforcement
-
-1. **Allocator** (`allocate_next_work`): while draining, returns `outcome=wait`
-   with `reason_code=maintenance_drain_assignment_stopped` for dry-run and apply.
-2. **Mutation preflight** (`verify_preflight_purity`): non-allowlisted mutation
-   tasks raise `MaintenanceDrainError` with a typed next action.
-3. **Allowlist** (safety only): heartbeats, lease release/abandon, session
-   checkpoints, enter/exit drain. Reads always work.
-
-## Restart relationship
-
-Drain mode prepares the blast radius. Restart apply still requires a clean
-`DrainProof` (#661) or authorized break-glass. Status payloads never claim
-restart permission.

-"""Graceful MCP maintenance-drain mode (#659).

-Drain is the visible, capability-gated state that lets an operator stop new
-work and quiesce mutations *before* a restart, instead of cutting sessions off
-mid-mutation. This module owns the pure decision layer:
-
-* the drain state vocabulary and its normalization;
-* the allowlist of safety operations that must keep working while draining
-  (heartbeat, release/abandon, checkpoint, and drain exit itself — the exact
-  calls an in-flight session needs to finish and hand off);
-* the mutation-gate classification consumed by the MCP preflight chokepoint;
-* the assignment-stop classification consumed by the allocator;
-* the observable status payload sessions read to see the drain (AC4).
-
-Durable state lives in the control-plane DB (``maintenance_drain`` table);
-enforcement lives at the existing chokepoints. Nothing here performs I/O, so
-both callers can share one decision without importing each other.
-
-Scope note: the machine-verifiable *drain proof* and the restart gate that
-consumes it are #661's scope, not this module's. Drain here stops assignment
-and mutation and makes the state observable; it never authorizes a restart.

+"""Concurrent-session MCP restart safety & dogfooding test suite (#666).
+
+Automated test suite proving all 10 dogfooding bullets required by Issue #666:
+1. One LLM cannot restart MCP unilaterally (role-based restart authorization matrix).
+2. New work stops during drain (assignments_stopped gate enforcement).
+3. Active safe work can finish (ack collection / graceful completion before restart).
+4. Unsafe mutations block restart (in-flight author/reviewer mutation gates).
+5. Session state is durably checkpointed (checkpoints_complete validation).
+6. Leases/locks not silently orphaned (lease lifecycle & post-restart lease audit).
+7. Sessions resume or receive canonical next action (reconcile proof canonical next action).
+8. Failed drain creates durable incident work (durable incident descriptor & bridge integration).
+9. Restart of one component does not unnecessarily interrupt unrelated work (scoped restart impact).
+10. Restart/upgrade workflows do not require manual chat reconstruction (state handoff ledger & completion proof).
