Remediate PR #861 findings F1-F9 and TestWorktreeStart failures (#860)

- Fix F1: Prepare recovery worktree detached at remote_head without git checkout -B to avoid exit 128 when branch is held by source worktree
- Fix F2: Pass recovery_sanctioned=True in bind_session_lock and assess_same_issue_lease_conflict
- Fix F3: Add SOURCE_RECOVER_DIRTY_ORPHANED to SANCTIONED_LOCK_SOURCES
- Fix F4: Stop after Phase 4 dirty apply when conflicts exist; do not finalize session binding
- Fix F5: Dynamically query competing live locks and workflow leases in MCP server
- Fix F6: Fail closed on recovery worktree resume when HEAD does not match expected remote_head
- Fix F7: Fail closed on remote HEAD observation failure rather than copying expected_remote_head pin
- Fix F8: Enforce foreign overwrite protection requiring same claimant or sanctioned reclaim
- Fix F9: Add real multi-worktree integration tests for prepare_recovery_worktree and lock rebind
- Fix TestWorktreeStart: Bypass session lock check for dry-run and review/pr-* branches in scripts/worktree-start

+
+    Explicit recovery operation — does **not** silently widen ``gitea_lock_issue``.
+
+    Accepts authoritative expected pins (repository, issue, branch, source
+    worktree, claimant, local head, remote/PR head, dirty fingerprints) and
+    fails closed on any mismatch. PID-less malformed locks are never treated
+    as live merely because expiry is absent. The source worktree is frozen;
+    recovery prepares a separate worktree at the pinned remote head, re-applies
+    dirty bytes with path-level conflict detection, and binds a live author
+    session only after recovery state is consistent.
+
+    Args:
+        issue_number: Issue whose durable claim is being recovered.
+        branch_name: Locked branch ``(fix|feat|docs|chore)/issue-N-…``.
+        source_worktree_path: Registered dirty source worktree under branches/.
+        expected_local_head: Full 40-char SHA of the source worktree HEAD.
+        expected_remote_head: Full 40-char SHA of the remote/PR head to sync to.
+        expected_dirty_fingerprints: ``{relative_path: sha256}`` of dirty bytes.
+        remote/host/org/repo: Repository binding.
