sysadmin 22e0a41bd5 feat(restart): audit lifecycle events and durable incidents (#665)
Add restart_audit with mcp.restart.* event schema, redacted emission via
gitea_audit, correlation ids, and incident materialization for failed drain
and break-glass. Wire gitea_request_mcp_restart to always audit impact
previews and fail closed on privileged apply when the audit sink is enabled
but write fails.

Closes #665

"""MCP restart lifecycle audit events and incident materialization (#665).
Restarts and recovery attempts must leave a forensic trail: impact previews,
drain enter/exit, drain-proof results, apply gate verdicts, break-glass, and
post-restart reconcile outcomes. Failed drains and break-glass must also raise
durable Gitea incident issues so they cannot be silently repeated.
This module is the pure + sink layer for that trail:
* **Schema** — ``mcp.restart.*`` event names and a redacted payload builder.
* **Emission** — append-only via :mod:`gitea_audit` (off when ``GITEA_AUDIT_LOG``
is unset; privileged apply can still *require* a successful write).
* **Incidents** — descriptors for failed drain / break-glass / unguarded restart,
plus an optional materializer that creates a Gitea issue through an injected
``create_issue_fn`` (keeps this module free of network I/O in tests).
Design rules:
* **No secrets.** All free text is redacted before write or issue body assembly.
* **Never raises from emission.** ``emit_restart_event`` returns False on sink
failure so callers can decide fail-closed policy for privileged restarts.
* **Does not restart.** Audit never executes a process restart.
* **Drain proof stays #661.** This module records what the gate decided; it
does not re-verify proofs.
