Merge branch 'master' into feat/issue-663-restart-classes

Address PR #885 REQUEST_CHANGES: full head_sha pins from queue signals,
reviewer leases keyed by pr_number only, claim inventory via entries,
live-path fixture tests, and traffic state vocabulary docs.

Closes #640 (re-review at new head)

+# MCP restart classes and blast-radius permissions (#663)
+
+This is the machine-enforced class matrix used by
+`restart_coordinator.RESTART_CLASS_POLICIES`. It implements the narrower-first
+recovery ladder from #655 and the authorization policy from #656, using the
+path inventory from #657 and the impact coordinator from #658. Product and
+delivery lineage: vision #652 and roadmap #653.
+
+Unknown class names are denied. The coordinator requires both the class
+permission and an eligible request role. Approval gates are additional: a
+caller cannot turn a request permission into execution authority.
+
+| Restart class | Required permission | Expected blast radius | Drain requirement | Approval requirement | Audit requirement | Recovery behavior |
+|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
+| `client_reconnect` | `mcp.reconnect.client` | none | none | self service | class, actor, client namespace, reason, outcome | Reconnect only the caller's client transport. No daemon or peer work changes. |
+| `session_reconnect` | `mcp.reconnect.session` | low | requesting-session safe point | self service | class, actor, session, reason, outcome | Rebind identity, capability, and workspace state for one session. |
+| `worker_restart` | `mcp.restart.worker.request` | low | target worker | controller approval + automated gates | class, actor, worker, approval, scoped drain, outcome | Restart one worker after its own leases and mutations drain. |
+| `role_runtime_restart` | `mcp.restart.role_runtime.request` | medium | target role runtime | controller approval + automated gates | class, actor, role namespace, approval, scoped drain, outcome | Restart and re-probe one role runtime; unrelated roles remain available. |
+| `connector_restart` | `mcp.restart.connector.request` | medium | target connector | controller approval + automated gates | class, actor, connector, approval, scoped drain, outcome | Restart one connector while unrelated runtimes remain available. |
+| `configuration_reload` | `mcp.reload.configuration.request` | low | mutation quiesce | controller approval + automated gates | class, actor, configuration revision, approval, outcome | Gracefully reload configuration without replacing the daemon. |
+| `rolling_mcp_restart` | `mcp.restart.rolling.request` | medium | one instance at a time | controller approval + automated gates | class, actor, instance order, approval, per-instance drains, outcome | Drain, restart, verify, and restore each instance before advancing. |
+| `full_mcp_restart` | `mcp.restart.full.request` | high | all sessions and mutations | controller approval + automated gates | class, actor, full impact, approval, full drain proof, outcome | Replace the complete MCP runtime only after a verified full drain. |
+| `host_restart` | `mcp.restart.host.request` | high | all host work | controller approval + infrastructure operator | class, actor, host/change or incident id, approval, full drain proof, outcome | Hand off to infrastructure ownership and reconcile every runtime afterward. |
+
+## Drain boundary
+
+Only `full_mcp_restart` and `host_restart` set `full_drain_required=true`.
+Reconnects and configuration reloads do not disrupt peer sessions. Worker,
+role-runtime, and connector restarts evaluate only their explicitly named
+target. Rolling restart drains one instance at a time. Missing required target
+scope denies the request rather than silently widening it to a full restart.
+
+## Permission and approval boundary
+
+Author, reviewer, merger, and reconciler roles may self-request reconnects and
+request scoped worker/role/connector/reload recovery. They cannot request
+rolling, full, or host restart classes. Controller/operator/admin roles may
+request the broader classes, while execution remains operator/admin-owned.
+Controller approval is independently required for every class above a session
+reconnect. Host restart additionally requires infrastructure-operator proof.
+
+The MCP request tool derives class permissions from its authenticated runtime
+role. It does not accept caller-supplied permissions. Controller and operator
+authorization are read from the already-running daemon environment, never
+from a request argument.
+
+## Audit and failure behavior
+
+Every impact audit and every console restart/reload audit includes a
+`restart_class` field. The impact audit also includes the exact
+`required_permission`. Unknown classes, missing permissions, ineligible roles,
+missing approval, missing scoped targets, and incomplete inventory all deny
+fail closed. Manual process kills remain forbidden and contaminating (#630).

+| **terminal_complete** | Reconciler / terminal-lock territory | Reconciler cleanup path |

+`expected_role_for_candidate` sends them to the controller, and the blocker
+reason renders in either bucket.

+**Live path contracts (do not invent):**
+
+- PR head pins come from `QueueItem.signals["head_sha"]` (full SHA). Display
+  `extra["head_sha"]` is truncated and must never be used for routing.
+- Reviewer leases are keyed as `(pr, pr_number)` only — never via a linked
+  `issue_number` on the same lease marker.
+- Issue claims come from `claim_inventory["entries"]`
+  (`issue_claim_heartbeat.build_claim_inventory`). There is no `active_claims`
+  key.
+- Queue display badges are only: `blocked`, `claimed`, `duplicate`, `stale`,
+  `in-review`, `open`. Review verdicts (`request-changes`, `approved`) are
+  **not** queue badges; traffic does not invent them from the queue loader.
