Node-Class Awareness & Fleet Observability

This release introduces node classes (developer, worker, monitor) as a first-class concept across the fleet — every telemetry signal now carries catalyst.node.class, and catalyst-doctor grades nodes against their class-specific rubric instead of treating every machine as a worker activation gate. The standalone catalyst-updater daemon ships as the new sole plugin-pull owner for daemonless developer nodes, with verify-updater and verify-node providing objective pass/fail smoke tests for the GATE-3 cutover. Scheduler reliability gets significant hardening: stale-fenced orphan dirs no longer burn Linear OAuth quota, timed-out linearis reads now trip the circuit breaker so a degraded pass short-circuits instead of paying the full cap N times, and the board now sources real ticket titles from the CTC replica instead of falling back to bare IDs.
