sysadminandClaude Opus 4.8 f20e0fc338 feat: require validation failure history in review reports (Closes #396)
Reviewer runs that observe a validation failure and later rerun to green
must report the failure and its investigation; a later pass never erases
the earlier failure:

- New reviewer_validation_failure_history.py verifier: reports must carry
  a Validation failure history section naming every observed failure with
  command, failing test or error, suspected cause, reproduced status,
  baseline master status, and PR-caused evidence; rerun-pass claims must
  explain what changed between runs, whether environmental state (such as
  stale /tmp files) was cleaned, and why the pass is trustworthy; an
  unexplained transient failure cannot be reported as a bare pass and
  must use the status 'passed after transient failure investigation'
  (exported as TRANSIENT_INVESTIGATION_STATUS).
- Re-export from review_proofs and wire into build_final_report as a
  downgrade check.
- Review-merge final-report schema gains the Validation failure history
  template section; contract test locks the markers and an export test
  locks the re-export.
- 12 tests covering the issue's scenarios: failing-then-passing rerun,
  baseline-equivalent failure, /tmp state contamination, unexplained
  transient failure, and a report omitting an earlier failure.

"""Validation failure history verifier for reviewer reports (#396).
A reviewer run that observes a validation failure and later reruns to green
must report the failure, its investigation, and why the eventual pass is
trustworthy. A later pass never erases the duty to report the earlier
failure. This verifier fails closed when known failures are omitted, when
failure entries lack the required investigation fields, when a rerun-pass
claim lacks a what-changed explanation, or when an unexplained transient
failure is reported as a bare pass.
